The Ford Escape is one of the best of the small, affordable SUVs, assuming that offroad travel isn't a priority. The Escape offers agile handling on paved and unpaved roads. It accelerates briskly when equipped with the optional V6 engine. It rides smoothly and its refined interior seats four people comfortably. Folding down the rear seats reveals a flat, moderately sized cargo area. Best of all, its price is relatively low. The Escape was an allnew vehicle in 2001. For 2003, all models have upgraded interior materials for better appearance and feel. The seat fabrics, floor mats and door trim are of higher quality and are available in new patterns and hues. The center stack, door bezels and window switches are painted for a twotone interior effect, and the window switches are illuminated for nighttime convenience. For 2003, Ford has added an upmarket Limited trim level, and a limitededition option package called Midnight.

Buying a 2003 Ford Escape

Purchasing an older vehicle, such as the 2003 Ford Escape, makes good financial sense. You're able to avoid the steep depreciation rates that occur with brand new vehicles. This essentially gives you the advantage of getting a 2003 Ford Escape for less money than when it was new. If the 2003 Ford Escape was properly maintained, you also have a good chance of steering clear of problems that would have developed when the car was new.

The amount you pay for an older car depends on various factors. One important element is where you buy the vehicle. You're likely to get a better deal if you buy it from a private party, as opposed to a dealer. On the other hand, a reputable dealer will normally have some kind of limited warranty, so you can drive away knowing that if the car breaks down right away, you'll be covered. Another factor that may affect price on a 2003 Ford Escape is whether it's "certified" by the manufacturer. A certified vehicle will cost more because warranty service is provided that normally doesn't come with a used car.

Another dynamic that will play into the purchase price is the resale value. A used vehicle with a high resale value will obviously cost you more. It is expected that the 2003 Ford Escape will have a good resale value. This assumes that the 2003 Ford Escape is in good condition and has a reasonable number of miles.
