hinde pa po namin ito nakikita personally, pero nakikipag-communicate na po kami dun sa seller
bago ko po sana utusan ang kapatid ko na tignan at i-patest drive ito eh gusto ko itanong kung ok ba ang presyo nito, overpriced ba or sakto lang?

at kung sakasakali po ito po ang unang Ford namin
kaya magtatanong na din po ako kung high maintenance po ba ang Ford Escape?
ang ganda kasi ng dating nia, spacious pa for the price of 400K
or mag-Vios na lang ba kami? since GLI yung nauna naming car... nalilito po kasi ako...
hindi po kami bihasa sa mga kotse, eto pong dinadrive ko ngaun ay Toyota Ist yr2005, 7yrs na siya sakin and walang major problem, at ang pag-dadrive ko ay normal lang as in hinde ganon ka-alaga...
maaasahan ko din po ba yun sa Ford escape? or mas kailangan ng kaunting alaga sa pagmamaneho?

please help po! thanks in advance!

thanks SiRbossR!
nakalimutan ko po ilagay na 2.3L xls 4x2 po itong Ford na for sale na ito sabi nung seller
nabasa ko nga po na OK nga daw po ang ganitong engine
actually I have been researching about this escape for a while now kaya po ako napunta sa very useful forum na ito

bale dun po sa presyo nia ngayon, fair price na po ba itong 400K?
or will I find better cars from a diffrent brand with 400K?
sa Lady driver na katulad ko po will the Ford escape fit me
mejo maliit po akong babae 5flat po height ko
na-aadjust po ba yung drivers seat para tumaas kung hinde naman po the pillow is my bestfriend as always! hehe!

TIA po uli!

Typically, Ford's resale is lower than others... might be hard to find a better deal (amongst gasoline crossovers)... Amongst AUVs naman, 400k will only buy you something with well over 150,000 kilometers on the odometer.

You might try haggling a little bit. See if they'll bite at 350k if you pay cash.

[CVT]

2005 ba iyan- e di 7 years old na.... ++ kung early 2005 ang pagkakabili niya... Meaning, marami na ring "end of life" na piyesa...

Magkano iyan last 2005?.... P950K?

Assuming tama ang P950K na purchase price last 2005...Tapos P400K pa rin ang presyo?... On the high side iyan... Sa madaling salita,- mahal.... Lugi lang siya ng P550K in 7 years? Ford iyan,- mababa ang resale value. Hinihigit iyan ng may-ari.

IMO, sounds more like P300K to me... Plus, handa ka bang mag drive ng gas guzzler?

thanks po niky!
we are really planning to pay in cash
sagad na po sa 400K budget namin and siguro pwede lang magdagdag pa ng konti for "minor" repairs since 2nd hand ang bibilin namin
bakit nga po ba mababa ang resale value ng Ford?
kaya din po kasi ito nagustuhan namin kasi po pasok sa budget at maganda din na yung mga katulad niya na different brand ay mas mahal talaga...

thank you din po CVT!
mahal po pala talaga sya kung ganon

ok lang po na malakas sa gasolina basta wag lang po grabe na halos 3-4km/L na lang ang average FC
weekend car po kasi ang mangyayari at tuwing uuwi kami ng Pilipinas ng family ko so road trips siguro pinakamalayo na baguio

4 po kasi kami sa family, sakto po kasi sana ito samin maski po yung size nia sakto din sa garahe ng house namin
hinde po kasi kasya ang malalaking van kasi po mejo maliit ang garahe

ang hirap maghanap ng alternative with 400K budget
pondo talaga ang kailangan hayy

OK na yang Escape XLS. 2.3L engine gives good performance and good gas mileage. Just don't expect it to perform like a sports car or sip fuel like a subcompact. Malawak at comfortable naman yan, and the internals are much more solid as compared to the likes of the CRV or Rav4. For a 2005 car, 58tkms is already quite low. Our 2005 Accord has 73tkms on the clock.

thank you po sir GTI!
yun nga din po nagustuhan namin kasi ayon po sa research ko spacious po at comfortable po ito lalo na kung malayong byahe

sabi nga po pala nung seller, since first owner po eh kumpleto daw po ang service/maintenance receipts from casa
dagdag points po ba yun?

If it has service records, even better. Sure ka na maayos ang kotse na yan. Subukan mo lang ipatawad pa. Kung 400k asking, siguradong may at least 10-20k na allowance pa. Malaking pera parin yun kahit papano.

thanks again sir GTI!

mataas po pala talaga ang price nia sa 400K
I just saw this ad a while ago sa ayosdito

Ford Escape AT - 05 | Cars for sale Quezon City | AyosDito.ph

first owned din daw but anlaki ng price difference and still negotiable pa daw
mejo natatakot lang po ako kasi parang too good to be true or talagang this deals do exist?

now I am confused... nakakalerky pala talaga mag-2nd hand car hunt!

[CVT]

I'd say mahal ang P400K na presyo niyan.

P350K should be the max for that vintage and type of vehicle.

Baka nga P888K lang ang pagkakabili niya niyan (Our 2005 Starex GRX A/T *then* was P1,056K kasi, IIRC)....

Research ka muna. Hanap ka sa classified ads ng Sunday Bulletin...

Remember, you have the money. Theirs was only a used merchandise,- so time is on your side. If they say that it is low mileage,- then that is only a "state of mind"...

So, no rush...

Hmm~ Katakot yan ah. Bakit kaya ganon kamura? By the looks of the pics, parang small time car dealer ito. It would either be the seller needs liquid cash immediately, or there's something wrong with the car. Possible din kasi na ganon ka baba ang mileage dahil napakahaba ng downtime niya sa talyer... If you like, you can visit the owner for closer inspection and test drive.

napag-isip-isip ko po na patignan ang parehas na cars na ito
so malaman ang diffrence... hopefully...
problema wala kaming kakilalang mechanic hayy hirap talaga
hanap muna siguro kami ng mapagkakatiwalaang mechanic then magpaschedule para ma-view ang mga sasakyang ito
hoping we get the best car with our budget...

Remember,- you have the cash. You have a distinct advantage because there are a lot of used vehicles for sale.

Cash is king. Ikut-ikot ka muna....

The price is more like it... Ganyan talaga ang takbuhan ng presyo ng sasakyan na iyan...

Sabi ko nga sa iyo,- hinihigit lang ng may-ari ang presyo ng sasakyan niya....

Assuming P888K nga ang pagkakabili niya, at P328K selling price, palugi siya ng P560K in 7 years... Still not enough depreciation.

Price can be negotiated further to P300K, IMO.... Good luck!

Basta, huwag lang nabaha o na-involve sa major accident

Good hunting!
