The mid 90's Escorts are rock solid cars.
The key to buying ANY used car though starts with the number of owners.
(the fewer the better)
As to this one in particular I'd like to know why the old engine failed,
how long ago that happened, where the replacement engine came from,
it's history and how long the CURRENT owner has had the car.
My cousin hasnt had time to diagnose the engine to find out why the check engine light is on. The car is clean looking but i sure wont buy it unless the problem is fixed. The engine in the car is used & idk what the milage is but ill be sure to ask.
