Buddy just called, asking about an '01 Escape he's thinking of buying.
Said he thought it was a 4-cyl, 5-speed with four wheel drive.
I don't think they built 4wd (AWD, whatever- he knows the difference but doesn't care) 4-cyls with 5-speeds then, but I can't remember.
Also- any trouble spots? 160k miles, and 8 years old in New England, so rust and/or wear may come into play. He said he's still interested if it's FWD.
*He's not looking for, or expecting, a great truck. He needs fairly inexpensive wheels that will be safe and legal (his present car is neither) and get him through a couple Vermont winters while he saves up to buy what he wants.
