Buying the 2000 Ford Escort
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2000 Ford Escort; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. This page sets out the 2000 Ford Escort for buyers, in plain words.
Before you sign for the Escort
Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.
The figures, translated
Under the hood: the 2.0L 4-cylinder and front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
Combined fuel use is 9.1 L/100 km: about 27 litres for 300 km. A 300 km weekend costs about $42.33 in energy at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,600 a year for 15,000 miles.
When the Escort makes sense
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
The Escort in everyday use
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. EPA lists 368 litres of luggage space, enough for about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent the Escort first, and buy only if it fits your life. Rent the Escort for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. If the Escort is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge.
Which one to look for
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Within the 2000 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
The cost of driving it
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $141.10 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,600 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Your move
Tell us the car you are considering, and we will help where we can.
