Why should i consider Ford Escape (2nd hand) Please help to decide.

[Bin Diesel]

*Bin Diesel - Maraming salamat po sa inputs and advice. I really appreciate it. Message well noted po. If i will ask you po, alin po ang mas prefer nyo, Tribute or Escape?

Tribute dahil sa relatively mas bago makukuha mo same price range may moon roof ka pa na bonus. Type mo lang escape or tribute sa sulit and you'll see what I mean.

Many thanks for this, sir. I really appreciate it very much.

Well... Personally, mas gusto ko ang dating ng Escape. Makisig ang itsura. And then there's the availability of 4WD which is totally absent in the Tribute. Yung Tribute kasi medyo generic Japan ang itsura eh. Inside, halos pareho lang naman ang dalawa, and I really like the way they designed the interior. Pero kung napakalaking bagay sayo ang fuel consumption then the Tribute is the only one with the 2.3L engine and power moonroof. Also interesting to note that the Tribute has a grey interior versus the Escape's beige so it is easier to clean. We have a 2010 Escape 2.3XLS in Taiwan and I was told that though nothing like the 3.0V6, the 2.3L offers good power naman, and that reaching speeds of 190-200km/h should not be much of a problem. The FC it gets there is around 9-10km/L city, take note that Taiwanese traffic conditions (especially since hindi kami sa capital) are very much like American traffic conditions. However, 2.3L Tribute's are surprisingly rare in the 2nd hand market, I'll do my best to find some for you.

Hi Sir GTi, thank you very much po sa very informative feedback. I will keep in mind everything you, and all our fellow tsikoteers, said. I'll check the ads din po and thank you so very much po sa mga iyon. I really appreciate it very much
At the moment my wife and I considering the Ford Escape but both of us are willing to see the Escape & Tribute. After that we'll make our decision na siguro...pero...wala pa yung money on hand...hahaha!

[frake]

hello to my good sirs and fellow tsikoteers, my wife and I planning to check some Escapes & Tributes this coming weekend. Hope to have a good run.

Thank you very much

Goodluck. Take your time and its good to go around and look at several vehicles before deciding

If you happen by The Fort, try checking also Ford Global City. They have a good number of trade-in vehicles there and we were able to get our Ford Escape and Ford Everest from them before at pretty fair prices (these were either trade-in or demo units). Check out also the Manila Bulletin Classified ads on Sunday. Marami dyan.

[ericson21]

sir TS, matanong ko lang po, anu pa po ibang naiisip nyong choice except for the escape?

thank you very much for the info, sir vinj. If ever mapalapit kami sa The Fort, I will check Ford Global City. Well noted din po sa Manila Bulletin Classified ads. Very helpful po. Maraming salamat, sir.

sir TS, matanong ko lang po, anu pa po ibang naiisip nyong choice except for the escape?

Hi Sir ericson21, 1st choice ko po talaga is Trooper. Kaso, sa price, hindi kakayanin.
2nd, Innova, kaso sa price din. Kaya Escape napili ko, kasi makakapasok yung budget ko na, upto 350k

Meron po ba kayo masa-suggest na sasakyan, sir?

Haha!~ Dapat pala binenta ko sayo Trooper namin which we just sold last month. Pero OK din yan na di mo kinuha ang Trooper dahil kapag di ka sobrang maalaga napakaselan ng sasakyan ng yan. Kung tiningnan mo ang Trooper thread sa Isuzu section you will see the headaches the people are having with it, although we ourselves had relatively little problems with it for the eight years it had been with us except for some alternator problems (replaced with higher capacity alternator) and the injector problems (replaced by Isuzu for free). Once nagkaproblema yung turbo, and we were tricked by the mechanic to replacing the whole thing although much later nalaman namin na pwede pala ayusin.

There are very few local cars with standard power moonroof so the Tribute and V6 Escape are pretty much the best options you can get. There are the Lynx 1.6Ghia and 2.0RS, Focus 2.0, Mazda 3 2.0, Nissan Cefiro Elite, Nissan Exalta and that's pretty much it. Still, the Escape/Tribute would be the best choice since it the power moonroof, lots of space and a higher ground clearance. Although of course most converted Japan surplus cars have standard power moonroofs, should you be considering those be sure to get a newer unit since the older ones have bigger tendencies of leaking!

Thanks for the list of cars, sir. Actually hindi ko pa inaalis sa listahan ko yung mga nabanggit nyo po na auto. I really just hope matuloy yung figure na ineexpect ko and hwag maudlot sa kahit anong dahilan.

Nabasa ko din po yung thread ng Trooper kaya nagdalawang isip ako and...hindi din naman aabot budget ko in the first place.

If money is no object in my situation, i would rather get my self a brand new Montero or Fortuner, which is what i really want. Pero nanghihinayang ako sa ihuhulog every year for 4-5years. I really just pray to God and hope na maganda and matino pa ang mapili kong sasakyan, may it be escape or tribute.

Another suggestion ko lang. Have you ever considered Korean surplus? As long as you are sure about the condition of the vehicle, its no different than local cars since its not converted. There are Starex units with dual sunroofs, you may be interested.

Mukhang okay yun sir...ganda pa. Isama ko po yan sa listahan ko...hehehe! maraming salamat sa ma suggestions, sir. I really appreciate it.

Haha~ Onga eh. Malawak ang loob, nakakasakay ng marami, matibay, matipid, mura ang piyesa, maporma, sarap sakyan... As long as you can find a good unit, a Starex is always a good buy. But its very hard to find 1st gen Starex's with the dual sunroof option, even among the grey market units. So far I've scoured everywhere I can think of but can only find these two that have any mention of having sunroofs. But then, dapat alamin mo na hindi mabilis humatak ang mga to, pag umabot ng mga 160km/h hindi na gaanong tataas yan. You may consider some light performance mods to somehow improve that. Oh, and I recommend the 2nd unit more than the first, by the way.

I'd overlooked the sulit ID...and now my head is spinning...hahaha! It has what my daughter & son's want, for me it looks nice, matic pa, plus, as you said, matipid & mura ang pyesa. Im not much into speed naman. 160km/h is okay with me, as long as kaya mag overtake sa tricycle and slow moving vehicles.

Maraming salamat ulit sir sa info and pagtulong. Also sa fellow tsikoteers natin. Wala talaga akong alam sa sasakyan pero at least meron ako basic idea what to look for. Thanks again po

Hehe~ Confirm mo na muna kung available pa yung vehicle at sure ka sa condition niya before ka magpasalamat sa akin. But I am glad that I was able to help you in some ways. Keep us posted then!

Kaskasero ba yung friend mo, bro? By the looks of it nasa 4-5km/L ang nakukuha nya ah based on the distance you gave at yung sinabi mo na 500 one way. Kung 2008 Escape, siguradong 2.3L at hindi V6 yan dahil wala na ang V6 nun. Pero the V6 is the only one that is supposed to drink gas that way... I've got feedback from various other Tsikoteers who have the 2.3 version at sabi naman nila na umaabot at lumalampas daw naman ng 7km/L sa pure city driving yun if driven with a light foot.

di ko lam bro kung kaskasero eh, hehe, pero ayon lang talaga sa na kwento nya sakin hehe, nagulat nga din ako sa pagpapa gas nya ng escape nya, hehe. pero sigruo, di lang nya pinapaabot ng below 1/4 ang tank kaya pakarga siya ulit ng 500. di pa ako naka sakay na sya nag drive bro, babae yung friend ko eh haha.

check ko kung yun nga, kasi alam ko talaga 2008 or 2007 yun hehe. :D

sa moonroof kasi na yan sir, merong monterosport GLS SE dati na Ukraine version eh, tapos may moonroof yun na 5 seater nga lang siya, limited edition, deads na deads ako dun sir hehe.

sa 3 choice niyo sir, 2 ang diesel variants, so ask ko lang po if mas gusto nyo ba na diesel kesa gas?

Gas po. I can go either gas or diesel as long as hindi pasasakitin ulo ko. Pero gusto ni misis gas..hehehe! Kung may pera lang ako i can settle with Hyundai's diesel vehicles

Question po my good sirs, sa 4x4 na escape, parati po ba yun naka-4x4 or meron po switch or knob to change from 2x2 to 4x4, vice versa?

maraming salamat po
