Talking Good For You!

I'm on my 2nd Escape, traded in my 2001 in 11/94 for an Escape Hybrid.
Read the posts, what you'll probably have to watch for yours is 1) brakes .. they (at least the front ones) will probably need replacing, along with the rotors ... unless that's been done already ....
2) Hope the original tires were replaced with something that's much quieter/longer lasting ...
3) And keep a close eye on the tranny.

Otherwise you've made a wise choice.
