Escort LX Mileage
About how many miles could you expect to get out of a Ford Escort LX
engine before needing an overhaul? Looking at a 1996 with 191k, asking price $900. Doug |

If that is correct, I'd personally think it has already served its useful life. They are not typically known as a high-mileage producer! I sold used cars for decades. Refused to sell Escorts with much over 30,000 miles--actually tried to avoid selling them at all. Odds just weren't in the buyers' favor. s |

I > don't know where you get 115k from, I said miles not kilometers. > > Doug Sorry, Doug, my bad. I focused on your earlier sentence distance where you said, "Looking at a 1996 with 191k, asking price $900." I had erroneously assumed from this sentence that 191k was 191km--again sorry for my error.(Where I got 115,000 miles from was using a ratio of 1km =approx. 0.6 mile: thus, 191km X 0.6m/km= approx.115,000 miles.) However, this yet higher miles of 191,000 makes me even more skeptical about the remaining life in that engine. Sorry I could not be more positive, but this is MHO. s |
