Description:

1993 Ford Escort Wagon 35MPG 5-Speed Manual
For sale is this beautiful 1993 Ford Escort LX Wagon, equipped with a 1.9L 4 cylinder engine and 5-speed manual transmission. I am only the 2nd owner of this car. It was originally purchased from salesperson Tony Malerba at Faulkner Ford and Mercury in Quakertown, PA in 1993. The original purchase price was $10, 899. It has been garage kept its entire life with just 69, 950 original miles. It wears the original Strawberry Metallic Red paint which looks more like a burgundy with minor flaws and dings as seen in photos. The interior is also original and in nearly perfect condition, the pictures do not do it justice. This car is 100% stock, with only regular maintenance and related upgrades performed. I have owned it for about 4 years as a secondary vehicle, driven about 100 miles a month.
Since I have owned it, a few tasteful upgrades along with the regular maintenance have been performed. Although it can be tagged historic to avoid emissions and inspections in Maryland, this car is currently insured and tagged with regular plates, and passed emissions and inspection with no problems. Emissions testing was just performed in January of this year. The car did not need any of the following, but I repaired/replaced things just to keep the vehicle reliable. I have taken this car on a 780 mile long trip once with no problems.
According to the Carfax/vehicle history report the car is in better than normal condition, which you can see for yourself. Other than being a 2-owner vehicle, it has never been in any kind of accident and has a clean Maryland title. I will also provide a Bill of Sale with the vehicle. I have all the original owner manuals, dealer information, even the original window sticker!
Whether you are looking for this car for a specific reason, need a reliable commuter car, a safe car for your family, a great first car, I am sure you will be impressed. Bring your own license plates and it is ready to be driven home today!

Issues
Paint/body: Minor dents/door dings as expected on a vehicle of this age, minor clear coat peeling on front drivers side bumper and grille, Rear bumper has crack on top (I sat a 50lb bag on bumper and it cracked.)
Passenger side front window is difficult to roll up if it is rolled farther than halfway down. If the regulator needs replaced they sell for $35 on eBay.
Passenger side front door interior door handle does not work, has to be opened from outside handle. I looked at it and there is a small plastic piece that broke, secures rod to handle. I could not find the plastic thing at the auto parts store but I am sure they can be had for less than $5.
Check engine light appears intermittently and motor will stutter, take car out of gear and rev engine and it goes away. Code says fuel/air mixture at limit. Does not affect drivability. It resets but comes back.
