This vehicle has a "rebuilt" branded title.  It was wrecked in Florida in 2012.  It was repaired by Auction Direct in Miami in summer  of 2012.  I purchased the car from the Florida seller with full knowledge of the damage and a picture of the Escape before it was repaired (see pictures).  No airbag deployment and relatively minor right front damage.  I wanted to try a Ford Escape for my personal vehicle, but had no idea of how I would like a Hybrid.  I thought this would be a cheap way to test out the Hybrid.

This has been my personal car since August 2012.  I have recently purchased another Ford Escape Hybrid as I have had a very good experience with this one that is for sale.  The mileage has been impressive for an SUV.  I don't know of another SUV that gets the 30 MPG I have gotten with this one.  I've driven several Rav4's, a Mazda Tribute, and a regular Escape.

I hold a Texas Dealer License, so I change cars a couple of times a year.  If you are a Texas buyer, please be prepared to pay for Texas sales tax, title transfer fees, registration, etc.  at the time you pay me for this Escape.  I do not add any fees.

The Escape is sold with a SATISFACTION GUARANTEE. If you arrive to pick up the car and don't want it for any reason, you are not obligated to complete the sale, and your deposit will be refunded in full.  If you purchase the car and want me to assist you with shipping or delivery, I am happy to do so, but the car must be PAID IN FULL before it leaves my house.  Once it leaves my house, there is no guarantee or warranty.

I am a local County Judge and I have no desire to cheat you or rip you off.  I believe you will get a great buy on a low mile Escape with plenty of life left in it, and despite it's damage history, it makes very decent transportation.

THE BAD ABOUT THIS ESCAPE....Rebuilt Title (totaled by insurance company and sold at auction), rear tires need to be replaced within 5,000 miles, front tires within 10,000 miles. The SERVICE SOON message and icon comes on from time to time.  There is a buzzing noise inside of one of the A/C vents to the right of the radio that occurs when you don't run the fan.  I dont know what makes the noise.  It hasn't been a bother for me since i ususally have some kind of fan running for heat or air conditioning.  Low tire pressure light occasionally comes on due to a slow leak in right rear tire.  Air it up and the low pressure light goes off.

THE GOOD ABOUT THIS ESCAPE.....Low Miles, around 67,500.  Title indicates not actual miles as with any rebuilt title, however the AutoCheck history seems to indicate the miles at the time i purchased it were correct.  Great mileage, averaging around 30 MPG.  Charging system and hybrid battery indicate all's well.  Recent brake job about 4,000 miles ago.

I live in Mt Pleasant, TX (Titus County), but the Escape is located in North Dallas with my 30 year old son so that it is more accessible for buyers; You may inspect it at his workplace, Central Expressway at Park Lane.  Inspections are welcome and encouraged.

Please check out my SELLER FEEDBACK on previous sales of Cars and Motorcycles.  No negative feedback, all happy customers.  I want to keep it that way.

If you need assistance with shipping, I will be glad to offer you guidance, but the final decision as to who to hire will be YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.

$500 deposit via PayPal is due within 24 hours of auction end, balance due within 5 days.  I will transfer the title for you and mail you Texas license plates (if you are a Texas buyer).  If you are an out of town buyer, I will  give you clear title at time of pickup, or I will mail you the title.

Please call with any questions or email me. Thanks, Brian    titusjudge at gmail dot com or 903-466-6666

Enterprise customer billed $47k for Mustang stolen from rental lot

Sun, 05 Jan 2014

A weekend rental of a Ford Mustang GT Convertible sounds like a nice, relaxing way to burn some gas, but one Nova Scotia woman's two-day rental is turning into a months-long headache. In early October, Kristen Cockerill picked up the Mustang from Enterprise Rent-A-Car, and she returned it the following day as stipulated by the rental contract. Unfortunately, she dropped the car off on a Sunday - a day on which the particular Enterprise office is closed - and the car ended up being stolen overnight.
Now, two months later, CBC reports that Cockerill received a bill from Enterprise for the full replacement of the car totaling $47,271 (a base 2014 Mustang GT Convertible currently costs $40,349 in Canada). As it turns out, the fine print in the contract says that the renter is responsible for cars dropped off after hours until it can be inspected the next business day - this is also reflected on the key drop seen in the news report video, which states "vehicles returned after hours are the responsibility of the renter until inspected on the next business day."
It's not clear how much, if any, of that amount Cockerhill will be responsible for once her insurance company gets involved, but if the insurance company refuses to pay, Enterprise will bill the amount to the credit card she provided during her rental. While this ordeal is far over for Cockerhill, it's a good reminder for the rest of us to always read the fine print.

Ward's Automotive Ten Best Engines of 2014 dominated by diesels, turbos

Thu, 12 Dec 2013

With the Car and Driver Ten Best decided, the North American Car and Truck of the Year finalists announced and Cadillac, Ram and Subaru chalking up wins with Motor Trend, it's fair to say that the automotive awards season is in full swing. The next set of trophies to be handed out will be from Ward's Automotive, which has announced the winners of its 2014 10 Best Engines.
The latest contest was marked by the widespread emergence of diesel power and the continued success of turbocharged engines. There was even an electric motor on this year's list. In fact, only three of the ten winners were naturally aspirated and only two winners returned from last year.
"We weren't looking to throw the bums out, as they might say about an election. We were just really impressed with the flood of new powertrains," said Ward's Automotive Editor-in-Chief Drew Winter. Those new powertrains include the 83-kilowatt electric motor from the Fiat 500e, the 1.0-liter, EcoBoost three-cylinder from the Ford Fiesta and the 2.0-liter turbodiesel from the Chevrolet Cruze.

Bill Ford augments his power by nearly doubling stake of supervoting shares

Fri, 28 Jun 2013

Bill Ford Jr. has more sway than ever over the automaker that bears his surname, as the great-grandson of Ford's founder has reportedly doubled is holdings of Class B Ford stock. According to a report from Reuters (which cites a newly discovered securities filing), he acquired some 3.7 million Class B shares from an unnamed family member.
Class B shares of Ford stock are held by descendants of Henry Ford and offer expanded voting power to their holders - Bill Ford Jr. now controls roughly 11.5 percent of the total Class B pool. Ford Jr. is also a one of five trustees that manage a voting trust that oversees the majority of these "supervoting" shares. In total, Reuters reports there are 71 million Class B shares that account for 40 percent of the voting power in the company, despite making up just 2 percent of the total volume of all Ford stock.
Ford Jr. served as Ford's CEO until 2006, when he stepped down to hire and make space for current CEO, Alan Mulally. The move to consolidate Ford family voting power, at least somewhat, is seen by many as a comforting sign with Mulally's departure from the company likely to happen in the next several years.
