Bad324 Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 (edited) This is going to be a complete long shot but I figure if somebody would be truly interested I'd try and make it happen'09 Ford Escape XLS FWD$10,000 obo (1500 under KBB!)Red68k milesExterior: 8.5/10interior: 8/10Its been regularly maintained and serviced by the dealer it was bought from since day 1. Has 2 new tires on the rear wheels. It will probably need new brake pads come summer timeThe BAD: its not accelerating but I think it just needs a new throttle body which should be fixed by the end of this week. EDIT: It seems the computer malfunctioned into limp mode, with a reset of the computer it runs like new again***EDIT#2: My amatuer mechanic skills were naturally wrong. The issue was in the transaxle which leaked out half the trans fluid and has been repaired by a Ford dealer and the trans was unharmed and it is good to go*** Edited February 21, 2013 by Bad324 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad324 Posted February 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 Also another long shot note, it could possibly be delivered to the CBUS area as will be in Hocking this weekend but only if someone is going to buy it for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad324 Posted February 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 Apparently the problem has been fixed. It was suggested to me by a mechanic friend that it could be an improper switch of the computer to limp mode as Ford has experienced this as a mildly common issue. I disconnected the battery and let the computer reset and today it's driving like the champ it's been Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad324 Posted February 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 pics added. Sorry for the shitty quality but I snapped them quick late last night in the garage.

Bad324 Posted February 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 it turns out that there was an issue with the transaxle and the trans fluid was half empty so the issue has been resolved. Haven't traded it in yet so its still available! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
