Used 1998 Ford Escort 4 Dr SE Wagon for Sale near Dartmouth, NS

I have had this car for almost nine years with only minimal problems. The maintenance has consisted of new tires and battery only. It does what I need it to do, get me back and forth with no problems.

Performance- Has pretty good acceleration for a 4 cylinder and good handling! The ride is a little crashy but nothing not to expect with an economy car. The braking is ok but the petal feels spongy with too much travel. Build Quality- Has decent build quality although it is very cheaply built. The dash as nice "soft" plastics and the rest of the car is bare bones essentials. Repairs are minimal and only appear after ample wear to the part. The car is very reliable. Appearence- I personally think the car looks kinda of angry and when lowered the car has an aggressive stance. Nice look over all. Interior is nothing flashy but gets the job done! Cost of ownership-This car is great on gas averaging around 39 mpg (Imp) or 32 mpg (US). Costs under $40 to fill up from empty. Maintenance is cheap and all the parts are in-expensive. Very easy to maintain. Fun Factor- This car is a blast to drive with the right upgrades. I have a couple upgrades on mine: Escort GT rear sway bar, front and rear strut bars, short shifter, zx2 front seats, Weapon R cold air intake, and a beautiful sounding Magnaflow muffler.

Leaves some to be desired in performance, but it's obviously not built for it anyway. Since it's a 4-cylinder, it gets good mileage, about 25/30mpg. It hasn't needed any major repairs, and should keep going for a while yet with ~117K miles.
