“Top-trim Escape priced at the top of the market with 150k miles — better deals exist for $8,988.”
Pros

- 2.0L EcoBoost is the stronger, more reliable Escape engine
- Photographs clean in black
Cons
- 150,390 miles is a lot for $8,988
- Priced at the very top of the 145k-155k-mile comp range
- A sold comp with similar miles went for $7,224
Analysis
The Titanium badge is the nicest Escape you can buy for 2015, and the 2.0L EcoBoost is the engine to have. The problem is the math: $8,988 for 150,390 miles lands at the very top of the market. A nearly identical 2015 Titanium with 144,751 miles listed at $8,850, and a 153,029-mile example sold at $7,224.
At 150k miles this generation’s 6F35 transmission is living on borrowed time without documented fluid service, and none is shown. Paying top-of-market money for a vehicle this deep into its wear curve is a bad trade.
Verdict: MOOSED. Same money should buy fewer miles or a lower price.
