Mazda Tribute LX-V6 (2003)
for sale

Price: US $300.00

Description:

The Ford Escape is a compact crossover vehicle sold by Ford since 2000 over three generations. Ford released the original model in 2000 for the 2001 model year—a model jointly developed and released with Mazda of Japan—who took a lead in the engineering of the two models and sold their version as the Mazda Tribute. The first generation was made from 2000 to 2006 Although the Escape and Tribute share the same underpinnings constructed from the Ford CD2 platform (based on Mazda GF underpinnings), the only body panels common to the two vehicles are the roof and floor pressings. Mazda supplied the base inline-four engine and Ford providing the optional V6. At first, the twinned models were assembled by Ford in the US for North American consumption, with Mazda in Japan supplying cars for the rest-of-world. This followed a long history of Mazda-derived Fords, starting with the Ford Courier in the 1970s. Ford also sold the first generation Escape in Europe and China as the Ford Maverick, replacing the previous model. For the 2005 model year, Ford's luxury Mercury division released a re-badged version of the Escape/Tribute called the Mercury Mariner, sold mainly in North America.

Condition:Seller Notes:
Used
“This is a high mileage 2003 Mazda Tribute with a damaged V6 engine. The vehicle must be towed. The engine has a knocking sound most likely from valve and / or piston damage. Over the past year the engine has blown out 3 spark plugs, this is apparently a common issue with these engines. I believe one of the spark plug repairs was improperly done and damaged the engine. This vehicle could be repaired by installing a used engine or you could use the transmission or other major parts to repair your broken Tribute or Escape.The body is in fair condition, front sheet metal is usable, the rear of the car has several areas where rust is either starting to bubble through paint or has already made noticeable rust damage.Tires still have life in them, power windows, locks, seats all work. A/C blows cold, radio is missing. Lots of parts to fix up your Tribute / Escape.”
