Buying the 2015 Ford Escape
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2015 Ford Escape for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Here is the 2015 Ford Escape for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.
Before you sign for the Escape
Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
Reading the spec sheet
The powertrain here is the 1.6L 4-cylinder turbo with front-wheel drive and a 6-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
The combined figure, 9.1 L/100 km, means roughly 27 litres for 300 km. The fuel for 100 km comes to about $14.11 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,600 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Practical details
Its SUV body gives a high seating position and an easy load height.
A good match for
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
Try before you buy
A test week in the Escape tells you more than any review. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Escape answers the big questions. Drive the Escape on your commute before you commit to it.
Money matters
A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Choosing the right one
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
