With only one previous owner, this '05 Ford Escape Hybrid is ready for you! The vehicle runs and drives like new and has no known defects. Its engine is smooth and powerful, and the transmission shifts with ease. The suspension is crisp and the 4x4 system provides exceptional road stability and offroad performance in all weather environments! Inside this Ford Escape, the gray Ford leather interior looks new and has been professionally detailed!

This particular vehicle was driven conservatively by a local older gentleman who simply became too old to drive. The vehicle was purchased by our dealership (2nd owner) and he was moved into a local nursing home. This vehicle has been serviced by Porter Ford its entire life and drives exceptionally well - even at 151k miles. Bid with confidence and expect no surprises. Our dealership has driven this vehicle on multiple 4 hour trips from Delaware to Virginia Beach and from Delaware to Western Pennsylvania. It is sure to meet your expectations and offer great MPG!


Exterior:

The exterior of this vehicle is absolutely stunning. This vehicle has been garage kept in a temperature controlled environment and shows minimal wear. The paint and clear coat on this vehicle are exceptional. As you can see in the pictures provided below, the paint is very reflective like a new vehicle. There are no visible rock chips anywhere on the vehicle or any rust spots. The paint is simply gorgeous. All 4 tires on this vehicle are newer Michelin tires and are a premium luxury touring tire designed for drivers who want optimum ride comfort, sporty handling and all-season traction! The wheels/rims on this vehicle are premium OEM Ford Edge rims that are near new with no curb damage or brake dust. The overall condition of this vehicle is about a 9 out of 10.


Interior:

This vehicle has no odors, has no stains in the carpeting, was a non-smoker and smells new. All power equipment is functioning properly on the vehicle - the windows go up and down perfectly, the doors lock and unlock, the heat and air conditioning work great, etc. The navigation unit, radio and sound system work great. The navigation unit comes with ALL 10 navigation discs (including for Hawaii and Canada) and the vehicle comes with the owners manuals. Under the hood, it's extremely clean and presentable. It was recently dealer serviced for an oil change. This vehicle comes with the key and remote which both work effortlessly.

COMMON QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:


Who is England Motorcoach (EM) ?

We are an family-owned independent licensed car dealer in Delaware focusing on European makes such as Mercedes, Audi, BMW and Porsche.

Who Should Bid

Only individuals who have their finances pre-approved or have cash on hand to finalize the transaction should bid on any eBay motors auctions. Bidders with under 80 feedback please contact us prior to bidding. We take much time and dedicate a lot of energy to our listings as should be evident by the usual 50+ photo's taken of each vehicle.  Please bid responsibly.  You are encouraged to give us a call directly to discuss any aspect of the vehicle you are interested on and put a deal together.

Where is England Motorcoach located?

We are located in New Castle, Delaware 19720.  All vehicles are located at our indoor warehouse facility.

What is the source for your inventory?

Our specialty is pre-owned imports such as Mercedes, Audi and Porsche including recent trade-ins and off-lease models with exceedingly low miles, complete service histories and all books, keys and records. Many of our vehicles are purchased directly through dealer-only auctions with condition reports and clean titles. We take the time to individually assess each vehicle prior to purchasing to ensure they meet our standards and hopefully our clients' expectations. We also purchase from estate sales, liquidations, repossessed vehicles and through insurance auctions. Any salvage branded vehicle will be noted up front (hail, stolen, etc) and we do not purchase flood vehicles.

Do you have all titles on hand for your vehicles?

It depends on the vehicle. Typically once payment is made we will use that payment to release the title. Titles may be held at our location, at banks, other dealerships, the state, or other locations. Titles typically get mailed though Certified Mail within 7 business days once payment has cleared.  We are a licensed and bonded dealer in Delaware and guarantee clear titles on all vehicles that we offer unless otherwise stated. 

What "other" fees are there besides the vehicle's purchase price?

The other fees include any government related fees, shipping (if applicable) and documentation charges.  If you live in Delaware, you must pay 3.75% of the sales price of the car as a tax to the state when at the DMV/MVA registering the vehicle for title. We do not collect that fee at the time of sale.  All buyers are required to pay a $40.75 Inspection Fee. There is a $163 service fee which includes detailing the vehicle, inspecting the vehicle, and checking tires and fluids before shipment or sale.  There is also a $279 doc fee for handling paperwork, filing titles, mailing and copying costs. These fees are fixed and are non negotiable.

How is shipping of the vehicle arranged, can I get a quote?

We are happy to handle all of the details of shipping your new vehicle to its new home.  Send an email to englandmotorcoach@verizon.net with your zip code and the car or truck you need to ship, we will get back to you with a firm quote on shipping to your location. Some common shipping terms include:

  • Open Carrier - This is the most economical way to transport a vehicle. Typically your vehicle will be on a trailer of 8-10 other cars that are being delivered to other individuals or businesses as well. There is a small potential risk of rock and element damage since the vehicle is not enclosed. Many higher dollar and specialty cars must be shipped enclosed carrier
  • Enclosed Carrier - This method is more expensive, but eliminates potential the possibility of damage from road debris and the elements. 
  • Insurance Coverage - Each carrier has insurance coverage. Typically vehicle transporters have coverage of at least 1 million dollars, but it depends on the company and driver. England Motorcoach shall NOT be liable or responsible for the safe shipment of vehicles. There is a very small chance that there could be some minor damage incurred during shipping any vehicle. The Buyer is responsible for working with the Driver or Shipping Company's insurance company if this were to ever occur.

What forms of payment do you accept?

We accept cash, money order, finance checks from your local bank or credit union and certified cashier checks drawn on US Banks in US funds.  We are also happy to arrange financing for you. Please ONLY bid if you have enough money to cover payment or have approved financing either from your bank or from us.

Do you do any financing?

Yes, We have Financing Rates starting as low as 2.9%

In most cases it takes less than a day to get credit applications decisioned and finalized.

Did a US automaker blow the whistle on Hyundai, Kia fuel economy issue?

Mon, 17 Dec 2012

In all of the most hotly contested mainstream segments of the motoring universe, the difference of one mile per gallon averaged on a widow sticker can mean the difference between a sale and a walk-off - to say nothing of two or three mpg. So, when Hyundai and Kia were forced to reveal that many of their 40-mpg ratings were actually 38s and 37s, well, it made for big news.
It also, conceivably, made for a competitive disadvantage immediately, when the Korean automakers' products were being shopped versus the guys down the block. And it's that disadvantage that makes a recent story from Automotive News so juicy.
AN is reporting that Margo Oge, former head of the Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Transportation and Air Quality, got a tip in 2010 that Hyundai/Kia were "cheating" to get its impressive fuel economy numbers. The tip, said Oge (who retired from the EPA this past September), came from a senior vice president from a domestic automaker. The source was credible enough for Oge to launch an audit of the Hyundai figures, which ultimately lead to the debacle that we reported on a few months ago, and that the Korean company has been trying to bounce back from ever since.

2014 Ford Fiesta 1.0L EcoBoost to hit 45 mpg for $16,445*

Mon, 28 Oct 2013

When Ford first announced its plan to put the 1.0-liter EcoBoost three-cylinder engine under the hood of the 2014 Fiesta, it promised hybrid-like fuel economy without a hybrid-like premium. We're still waiting for official specs on this engine, but thanks to the EPA's fueleconomy.gov website and Ford's retail site, we now know what customers can expect in terms of both fuel economy and price.
All along, Ford has said that it expects the 1.0-liter EcoBoost to get more than 40 miles per gallon on the highway, and now the EPA backs this up with official ratings of 32 mpg in the city and 45 mpg on the highway. These numbers are an increase of two mpg city and four mpg hwy compared to the current fuel-sipping Fiesta (the 1.6 SFE), and it also beats other three-cylinder cars for highway mileage like the 2014 Mitsubishi Mirage (44 mpg highway) and 2014 Smart Fortwo (38 mpg highway); the Fiesta 1.0 EcoBoost is lower than both three-pot rivals, though, in city fuel economy with the Mitsubishi getting 37 mpg city and the Smart rated at 34 mpg city. This model handily beats high-volume small cars like the Honda Fit, Toyota Yaris and Chevy Spark in both city and highway numbers.
As for pricing, the 1.0-liter EcoBoost is offered on both the sedan and hatchback as a $995 option called the SE Manual EcoBoost package, which is aptly named since it's only offered on SE trim-level Fiestas equipped with a manual transmission. Along with the engine, the package also comes with 15-inch steel wheels, regenerative brakes and a decklid spoiler on the sedan. This means the four-door Fiesta 1.0 EcoBoost will start at $16,445*, or $17,045* for the hatchback (*not including $795 for destination).

Detroit automakers gain market share simultaneously for first time in 20 years

Wed, 01 May 2013

While monthly sales figures might be an easy way of tracking the progression of the auto industry and individual automakers, looking at market share might be more indicative of how each company is actually standing up against its competitors. For the Detroit Three automakers, they have collectively lost almost 30 percent of the market over the last 20 years, but now, for the first time since 1993, Ford, General Motors and Chrysler have each posted market share gains at the same time.
According to Automotive News, Ford's share increased the most by 0.7 percent, GM was up 0.5 percent and Chrysler rose marginally by 0.2 percent, giving the Detroit automakers a total market share of 45.6 percent. As for the Japan's Big Three, the article reports that Toyota is up by 0.7 percent, Nissan is down the same amount and Honda has seen "little change."
