Good ol car

This car was gifted to me and it was a good gift. The ppl who have them still running know they are reliable and simple to use repair. They are safe, and comfortable to ride in, not too many bells and whistles but less to have to repair. For almost being an antique they run good. Def. wld be a good idea to get a parts car as the shortage of parts make it a bit difficult for repairs.

1997 Ford Escort still running

Car has been dependable and reliable for the last 20 years. It just keeps on ticking. Best part about this car is it is paid for. No car payments. The wagon allows me to transport material from Home Depot to my home.

Never gives up

This was my first vehicle I bought on my own brand new out of college in 1997 and I can say my baby has not let me down yet. Besides the average maintenance and replacing parts due to the age this car is amazing! I have gotten every penny out of it. Right now my mileage is 194,000 which is still good for the year of this car. It has never been in an accident either. It can get a little uncomfortable when driving a long distance, but hey it is an Escort. Love my little car.

The best car I've ever owned.

I love my old Ford, it's had no major problems and the exterior still looks almost new. It has a manual transmission, nothing fancy - not even automatic windows. I like that - less things that might go wrong and I feel like I have complete control over everything in the car.
