Did I get a good deal?

Hey all. I just bought a new car. Not exactly skydiving related, but little that is in the talk back forum nowadays is. Anyway, you people who have bought cars before or know a little about them, let me know what you think. Here is what I got:

2002 green Ford Escort 4 door Sedan w/ 2144 miles on the odometer.
I'm pretty sure it's the basic no frills version as well.
Anyway, it's got a clean Carfax record, and I paid $7000.
Also still has a bumper-to-bumper warranty for 3 years or 36,000 miles.

I'm under the impression that I made a killing on this car. Anyone care to burst my bubble?

Sounds good to me

Ford didn't make a 2002 Escort 4-door sedan. Surely you mean a 2000? With 2K miles (that's spectacularly low, really), that's a pretty good price.

I'm pretty sure they did. Otherwise, I have an amazing fake of one parked outside.


Here, this is straight from carfax:

VIN: 3FAFP13PX2R164837
Year/Make/Model: 2002 FORD ESCORT

Body Style: SEDAN 4 DR
Engine: 2.0L L4 SOHC PFI 8V
Fuel: GASOLINE
Driveline: FRONT WHEEL DRIVE
Carburetion: FUEL INJECTED
Cylinders: 4
Manufactured in: MEXICO

So if you think that that is a good price for a 2000 model, surely you'd agree it's a sweet price for a 2002...

Wow, skyrose. YOu have an Escort with 200,000 miles on it? I'd say that's an accomplishment in itself.
