I want to purchase my first car, Toyotas first came to mind but the costs are much. I have been researching and found ford escapes to be cheap, I don't know why, hence this post.

Please house, is 2005 Ford Escape a good buy, the 2.3L engine precisely. Is it cheap to maintain in Nigeria?

I will really appreciate informed inputs...

Good car.

Only major issue is a ECM/ECU failure and mostly caused by faulty ignition coils and spark plugs.

Can be resolved by purchasing a new ECM.

You just might be lucky not to experience this or previous owner must have resolved same.

Thanks bro. But is it expensive to replace?

Am sure its something you can afford.
