Ford Escapes, worth a hoot for Audio builds?


Recommended Posts

Came into a 05 or 06 Ford Escape for free. Basically, free... has a wicked bottom end knock, oil hasn't been changed in 17k miles. 130ishK miles overall. Interior is fucking filthy, exterior is straight but filthy aswell.... Title was handed over to my dad in exchange for some labor.

Car has been given to me by my dad as a fixer upper to do what I want with. I can flip it or turn it into an audio vehicle. Fixing it isn't a problem, I can fix anything it needs fixed.

Gotta ask here, Escapes worth a fuck? Audio wise? B Pillar wall, bandpass ideas...is what I was aiming towards. Lots of aftermarket support, dual alt capable? If they are a dead end I'll flip it and reinvest my profit else where.

It's at 05 or 06 2.0l 4 cylinder automatic, 2wd. Pretty sure it's not a sunroof car, could be idk...

Got the car the week before heatwave in Austin, so it's sat at my yard for 6, 7 months now...

Flip that bitch and buy something that you actually want. I'm sure that you can get a good $4-5K out of it once you get it cleaned up and fixed.
