Thinking of buying the 2001 Ford Escort?
No 2001 Ford Escort is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car 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 2001 Ford Escort for buyers, in plain words.
Before you sign for the Escort
Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.
The numbers in plain words
Power comes from the 2.0L 4-cylinder, driving through 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.
A combined rating of 9.0 L/100 km works out to about 27 litres per 300 km. A 300 km weekend costs about $41.85 in energy at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,600 a year for 15,000 miles.
A good match for
It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
Size and space
As a small car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. At 453 litres, the trunk fits a family's bags for a long weekend.
Drive it on your own roads
Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. A week with the Escort answers more than any brochure. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.
Picking a year and a trim
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
What it costs to run
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. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car.
