    Default My new car!!

    FINALLY. So i had a saturn and it was the biggest piece of ****. I threw a rod throw the block and decided to just get a new car. I wanted to get an import and get back in the scence but i found this steal instead.

    Its a 03 Ford Escape XLT. Its a 2x4, 3.0 V6. I dont have the car yet it is sitting at my dads shop, pending the title (it was one of his old company cars) Because of that i got it for a steal 3.5k.

    Just wondering if anyone has had one and thier feedback on the car.

    This is all i have of it just a cell phone picture.

    I say leave it. If you got a good deal on it, maybe flip it in a month or two.

    yeah my bad. i kinda drift off sometimes. ADD.

    I was planning on getting a clean as hatch or 240 but decided i needed something more reliable. lol not that honda or nissan arent reliable but i know this car is immaculate and has been taken care of very well.

    I love all the people that say **** domestic, reminds me of my high school days.


    Congrats on the purchase, if you like it then that's all that matters. Most of the people talking **** in here have POS Hondas, and couldnt afford anythign else.


    I own both import and domestic, and I like both.

    the ford escape 3.0 is the DOHC 24 valve, similar to the engines in the SVT contour but .5 more liters. If you search hard enough there is a company that makes a super charger kit for the Ford Escape.

    I'd say mod it if you like driving it! My friend had a Mazda Tribute(same as Escape) that he loved! Perfect car! Had a nice system, leather, sunroof! Here is a lowered, supercharged Tribute. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2485023
