Should I trade in my 2019 Ford Escape now?

Dude, run away from that deal. $9k is a decent offer, but I’d put it towards a used 2022-2023 Mazda and enjoy life.

I bought my 2011 Ford Escape in 2019 for $5,800 with 96,000 miles. After 5 years, I’m at 216k miles, and I’ve never had to replace the transmission. I feel like the older Escapes hold up better than the newer models. I’d suggest taking the payout and looking for a cheaper, used Escape with similar mileage.

Or just don’t buy a Ford. They’re garbage.

Sell it and get a Honda CR-V.

You’re recommending a CR-V with a CVT transmission when this guy is worried about a transmission failure?
