Just bought an 08 Escape

1 Attachment(s)

I had been looking for a while and found this 08 4wd. It has just under 60K miles on it, leather heated seats, sun roof, and backup sensors. I love it so far, just have to work on figuring out how to maximize the hybrid system.

Quite a find. Looks great. Care to share an approximate price you paid?

"Maximizing the hybrid system" will be easy acceleration and deceleration/braking, RPM awareness and staying below 2500 nearly always, and keeping very good LRR tires properly inflated among other things. I personally feel 5w20 full synthetic oil is also very important.

I think I got a decent deal on it, got it for $13-$14k.
