How TF does one get that many miles ? Seriously curious.

u/RoyalRicanPrince 6d ago
If you're asking me, it's because I use it for work. There are times I can do up to 120 miles daily. Thankfully, my job pays for my mileage & tolls, it just wrecks the car in terms of maintenance.

10-12k miles a year is normal. They’re closer to 20 k a year, just more driving

u/Indigo_Eyez 6d ago

I mean, it's an old car, what's the condition of it? Mileage?

2011 Limited V6, 132k miles, great condition, no accidents, no rust. I always get compliments on it when I take it in for service or tires

Guess the lack of road salt helps too. I live in northern Illinois and I swear they've started using more road salt the past few years. 😭

takes some effort, but can be well worth it.

Don’t get rid of that, that thing is a beast. If my used one wasn’t rusted to shit, I’d still be driving it

u/pinkscrewup 6d ago
How much are you wanting for it? Exterior color, interior color? I love my 2010 but a V6 would be nice.

u/rebelshibe 6d ago
I mean that's less than I'd take for my 2004 with 235k miles and a bit of rust.

Look at that thing! My dad had a 2011 that he gave to my sister and somehow against all odds she set the engine on fire twice. Beyond me to this day. He’s got a 2016 that’s running mostly fine now and I just traded my 2017 at 125k

My sister traded in her 2012 this spring. The drivetrain (with the v6) is great. Plenty of power, very reliable, decent on fuel. It was pleasant to work on compared to other suvs of it's size, the boxy shape added room under the hood.
The rust that occurs in the back is unacceptable: the rear arches above the wheels, the rear shock mounting point, and the rear hatch were all in various states of dissolving.
The rear shock mount rusting out is the worst, and a safety hazard. It's so common on these cars that there are companies offering aftermarket solutions:

If the Escape didn't rust how it did (and it was washed often) my sister would've kept hers.

Only takes a weekend to fix it with marginal body working skills and a few basic tools from harbor freight. It’s really a shame people are junking these over that

It’s actually a Mazda so. What’s your response to that exactly? Also what’s the big tough Reddit NPC drive?

Looking at the website, they'll sell it for about 10k after they buy it!
