What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Ford Escape
| Price of the Ford Escape: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2011 | 4dr SUV 171-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed automatic AWD |
Lowest |
| 2009 | 4dr SUV 240-horsepower 3.0L V6 6-speed automatic AWD |
My price paid was much smaller than Toyota and Honda similar models I researched. |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 153-horsepower 2.3L I4 4-speed automatic AWD |
The price was within budget |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 200-horsepower 3.0L V6 4-speed automatic AWD |
Compared to Honda, Toyota and GM, much more "bang for the buck"! |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 200-horsepower 3.0L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |
Reasonable price for 1 year old lease return |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 133-horsepower 2.3L I4 Hybrid CVT AWD |
Not much. Pricey for what you get. |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 200-horsepower 3.0L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |
lower than the mazda |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 153-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
At my purchase price of $15800 I think my Escape is an unmatched value. |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 133-horsepower 2.3L I4 Hybrid CVT AWD |
Part of the deal was getting top dollar on my trade in. |
| 2002 | 4dr SUV 127-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual AWD |
Bought vehicle with low interest. And price of 19,600 was very reasonable. Especially by SUV standards |

| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 133-horsepower 2.3L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD |
Hybrid was quite a premium over the V6. |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 133-horsepower 2.3L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD |
It is not economical when comparing standard engine vs. hybrid engine. You have to do it because you want a hybrid for the environment. However, it is 10K cheeper than Toyota Highlander Hybrid, but it is a lighter car too. Tow capacity is 1000 vs 3000. |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 133-horsepower 2.3L I4 Hybrid CVT AWD |
As a hybrid, expect to pay a premium price. |
What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Subaru Legacy
| Price of the Subaru Legacy: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2011 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 265hp 2.5L H4 6-speed manual AWD |
$5K or more cheaper than similar G37. $10-20K cheaper than similar BMW. |
| 2010 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 265hp 2.5L H4 6-speed manual AWD |
Costs about $10,000 less than comparable AWD sedans. |
| 2010 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 265hp 2.5L H4 6-speed manual AWD |
The price for quality and performance is unbeatable compared to anything else on the market in my opinion. I got a good lease deal and the residual is strong as well. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 170-horsepower 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD |
Cheap, AWD, and the best set of features under 20k after negotiation. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 243hp 2.5L H4 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
value for money |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 243hp 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD |
Great value for $26,000 |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 170-horsepower 2.5L H4 4-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Good value for money especially with in included features. |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 250hp 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD |
I got the car for $7000 under MSRP. |
| 2005 | 4dr Wagon turbocharged 250hp 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD |
IMO, the Legacy offers great value. Just around $20,000 will get you a very capable automobile with some nice convenience and/or luxury features. |
| Price of the Subaru Legacy: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 243hp 2.5L H4 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Not a good value in comparison to other similarly equipped cars especially compared even to luxury marques like Acura. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 250hp 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD |
Add a few options and the price quickly climbs to $30,000, a level in which there is a lot of very good competition. The TSX, by contrast, I picked up with more features for only $26k. |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 250hp 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD |
the parts are expensive, whenever it breaks. |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 168-horsepower 2.5L H4 4-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Pricey vs competition. |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 250hp 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD |
If you buy one of these new keep in mind that it’s going to take a huge depreciation hit in the first couple years, much bigger than other cars in it’s class. |
