The 2000 Ford Escort: before you buy
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2000 Ford Escort for sale by us right now. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Buying the 2000 Ford Escort is a big decision; here is the information we have.
What to check on the Escort
NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year. NHTSA has 98 owner complaints on file, mostly about engine and engine cooling, air bags and power train. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
Engine and fuel
The engine is the 2.0L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive and a 5-speed manual. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
It is rated at 9.1 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 27 litres. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $42.33 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,600 a year for 15,000 miles.
Who it is for
It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.
Room inside
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. In plain terms, its 368 litres of luggage space hold about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
A longer test drive
Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Rent the Escort first, and buy only if it fits your life. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer.
Choosing the right one
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Within the 2000 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
Money matters
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $14.11 in fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.
Still deciding?
A week with the car can save a costly mistake: request it now.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2000 Ford Escort from us first.
