Re: Am i crazy to buy another escort?
Even if the 97 had 5 miles on it I wouldn't pay those prices. Age plays a part as well. All that those low miles mean is that it's been rotting away for the last 11 or 12 years. I loved my Escort which was also a 97. It passed away about a year ago. These cars are prone to at least 2 major problems that I have seen a lot of over the years.
1.Transmissions frequently fail (VERY FREQUENTLY)
2. Cylinder 4 likes to drop it's valve seat and blow a perfectly good engine (I have heard that some even did it under 20k.
If you're looking for an opinion I would look around a bit. That is a very high price for a car that old. As much as I hate to say it those foreign clunkers are looking pretty good these days.
