My new car!!

[blackDAHLIA]

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.

[blackDAHLIA]

Im thinkin about lowering and maybe putting some 17 or 18s on it. what do you guys think?

[BlkCD5]

imo i would get the rims, but not lower it.

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

doubt it company car usually means high miles... my dad uses one of these as one of his company cars and i think it's nice. surprised me in power and gas economy a great dd. we towed a trailer to the florida keys with no problems what so ever. i hate the seats thought but yours might be different

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.

[Evil Goat]

sounds like counting eggs before they hatch...

A guy i work with has one they look pretty nice. he is always telling me how he races people in it but he doesnt race from a stop cause he will just sit there and spin lol

im a noob because i got a great deal on a nice daily driver.

[Nemesis]

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.

Fix Or Repair Daily FTL

[Jblizzard]

^ ^ no no no


F***** only runs downhill

:-P

just kiddin man, good deal on that for sure

[WalkS]

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.

[blackDAHLIA]

yeah i want to put a sub in it. nothin big. i dont listen to rap so i dont need much...


yeah i found a supercharged one on another forum. I get it tommorow. Im excited!!!

[AV8ter]

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

[Ails85]

save your money instead of the wheels and drop...buy yourself an import and keep the ford as a dd
