It always amazes me when somebody wants to sell something and they won't even throw away the trash, vacuum it real good, and wash the whole thing. If you look at the used mobile-home websites, same thing. I'd hate to see this seller's house.
+Anthony Torres It's clearly utterly ruined, it's just been driven into the ground and then they just kept on going. I don't think I've ever seen so comprehensively destroyed a vehicle before, but in the UK we have the annual MoT test which generally sends them to the junk yard well before they get to this point...
+Chaos Zombie999 I had a complete brain fart as regards US currency, I meant $24... That's beyond nasty, I wouldn't go within 100 feet of that without a hazmat suit...
Its amazing to look back on this video and realize that this car was only 8 years old at the time. How is it even possible to trash a car that much and make it this disgusting...🤢😂
I have a 2011 with a V6 AWD. Bought her with 40k on the clock. My trans. engages right away in drive with about a 2-3 second delay engaging reverse. Hard shift to 2nd gear when cold. She now has 270k and no change in the trans...better or worse. Been this way since day one. Overall has been a great and reliable vehicle.
wrench light means major drivetrain problem and the drive by wire throttle thats controlled by the computer will no longer respond and only limp to safety.
This was a fun video. I am glad you went on a longer test drive. To us inexperienced guys, we would have thought to take it on a longer ride. It also teaches us to not go alone in case you have to push it. I wouldnt sell that car so dirty inside. Go to the dollar store, get some cleaner, get some magic eraser and clean away. Then i would still take to to a detailer after that. Get a steering wheel cover at Autozone. Try to at least make it appear in good shape. $500 is too much. I wonder if there is a follow up video. BTW, I think the mold comes from the car being closed for a long time the humidity if Florida and a closed car is bad for interiors if not aired out.
I have an ‘08 Escape that I use as a work truck (salesman). It is essentially my office. I eat in it. Work in it. Bring product and supplies in it. And I’m demanding on it in city traffic. But I have NEVER let mine get this bad! This truck really needs a complete overhaul. Look at all that work. Almost frightening. That vehicle is only 8 8 years old.
sc0tte1 -- If I remember correctly, his jail sentence was for eleven months, and that was handed-down about two years ago. Nonetheless, davidsfarm is history. What a shame.
I was laughing when you asked the passer by if he wanted to buy a car (around 29:45) Funny ish man. This car is totally gross. Throttle body needs cleaned from mouse poo, Or dead battery caused limp mode. Engine should be fine.
Damn!! I have a 2005 Escape with 233000 miles on it. My car is old and showing it's age but it looks like it came off the showroom floor. This thing here needs to be totaled out and sent to the crusher
Josh Moore despite what this guy says in the video, the 01-05 models were built far more sturdy and reliable. I was nearing 300 K on our 01 with original engine and trans when we had to get rid of it. the 06-12 models were trash.
Thanks buddy. I'm not worried about the subscribers...they will come...and if they don't, I'll keep making videos for those of you who are here regardless!
That Escape’s interior was a health hazard and on top of that the thing stopped running while it was being driven.It’s not worth more then 100$.It belongs in the junkyard.
Since this is a reupload, I'm assuming this is from 2017 or earlier. That means that in just 6-7 years, they made this car more disgusting than most abandoned field cars
I can't believe he offered $500 for that trash can. He clearly would be in over his head mechanically, I'd be surprised if he could identify a socket wrench in a tool box! Why would you buy a car that dies on the test-drive if you have no means of fixing it yourself?? Auto repairs are expensive enough here in the Mid-West, I am sure in Miami they are out of sight! I feel sorry for him if he bought this, I really think he would be throwing his money away. Then again maybe it was a simple chewed wire and he could flip it for $2,500 if he really cleaned it up.
That's a chance worth taking if the price was right, but as mentioned I think 500 was very reasonable considering it could equally need engine, trans rebuild too, on top of the fact that it definitely needs full interior and a lot of bodywork. I'd look at something like that as a set of good used rubber and some other parts for ebay, no more tbh
My grandparents bought a 03 Windstar van from a car lot once. They just needed it to keep at the house in Florida. It was carpet interior and my grandma took a water hose and cleaned the thing out, and my grandpa closed it up way to early before it dried out completely. They drove it from Kentucky to Florida and parked it in the garage with the windows up and it sat in the humid heat down there for months. When we went down for vacation it had molded and had mildew all over the seats, all over the dash, turned the AC on and shit blew out of the air vents. I got a headache every time I rode in it. So they sold it to my dad for cheap, and even when he had it it stunk.
I bought a 2001 Expedition with all the ashtrays and most of the interior full of cigarette ash. Oh and a deer was gutted then transported in the back. I only confirmed it was a deer because of the short coarse hair that was stuck under some interior pieces. But at the end of the day I got the donor part's I needed for my own vehicle. It now sits in my back yard with all the windows open and a gutted interior. Still smells lol!
Man! I have cleaned up some nasty cars in my time, but no way I would get inside that thing let alone attempt to clean it up inside or trash out that interior. This musta been a flood car that got shoved into a mice infested barn for a few years. Total waste ... bio hazard .... ready for the crusher.
Had that same throttle body issue with our 2009 mariner the wrench came on no acceleration possible and stalled out, ford fixed it for free as a recall
They say pictures don't do justice when selling a car, in this case, not in a good way. Seller thinks his shit is gold. He should have taken that 500 and called it a day.
I was laughing the whole time at your comments. Hilarious. I’m guessing it was that guy’s car and it was in a flood or stuck behind a semi that flipped and dumped biohazard waste all over it. It got totaled out by the insurance company and he kept it and thought he’d sell it too. The whole two buyers showing up at the same time thing was probably set up by him to get you guys to bid against each other. The other buyer seems like a nice guy. Yet he was impressed with the radio and interior light working? Yeah. In closing, I bet there is no “Tom”. Loved the video though. Keep it up.
How could anyone treat their vehicle like that? They must've been the piggiest of pigs that owned that piece of crap. Probably druggies or something. Man, I just cannot fathom how that interior is so bad and full of gunk. It should be burned to be put out of its misery and I almost never say that, but even a Ford doesn't deserve that sort of treatment.
For sale (insert car type here) Garage kept Trans and engine are perfect No body work Never had food inside Never driven in rain or snow Always used premium fuel Speakers are brand new Just had an oil change yesterday Owned by an old lady
A 2010 escape is "way better than the older ones"? No way dude. An 01-02 with with a v6 and full time 4x4 switch can actually get somewhere in extreme weather and off road conditions. Ford's worst mistake was not further engineering these with Mazda. Now they are unreliable rattle traps without a real 4x4 option. My 01 had 280K on it with original engine/trans when my family outgrew it, and minus some suspension work and coil packs here and there, never had a single issue. To say the 06-12 models are in any way mechanically superior to the 01-05 models is kind of silly,
You would think that the owner would show a tiny bit of motivation by throwing out the loose garbage such as the red solo cup. Must feel that he is entitled.
Should have connected a scan tool! older fords need the iac sensor & throttle body cleaned & the computer reset from time to time!!! probably needs general maintenance on top of a new interior!!!
Maybe the windows got left open after a rainstorm then after it got moldy the owner was like screw this and just didn't care about it and scraped it up and used it as a trash can
As I said in the beginning of this video I am aware of these vehicles and their throttle body issues. The ran out of oil statement was merely a joke among all the other BS this junk vehicle was doing.
I think the alimestior went out it was running off the battery the losted few minutes that it ran I had a Suzuki that the alimentior belt broke and it had a it went crazy all the light and shut was flashing on and off
Holy hell. I would buy it and part it out at the MOST. Other than that I wouldn't touch that disgusting dumpster. Wonder what the VIN check would come back with.
Love ur vids man, teaches me alot
It's hard for me to believe that somebody would buy a new car and trash it that bad that quick
“No mechanical issues”

How can anyone let a car get so disgustingly bad? You can be sure if a car is not taken care of inside, it hasn't been taken care of mechanically.
ever heard of flood cars?
It always amazes me when somebody wants to sell something and they won't even throw away the trash, vacuum it real good, and wash the whole thing. If you look at the used mobile-home websites, same thing. I'd hate to see this seller's house.
i was thinking the same thin.g i would beat up the owner if he tried to touch me. dude prolly hasnt washed his hands in a few years
At 19:53, did that idiot next to you ask "do you think it's the mouse?" Lol
2010? It looks like a 1960 that's been abandoned since 1980.
Al, it's a good thing you were there. The other guy looking at the car probably would have ended up paying way more than $500 for it.
Oh, my God!!! $2400 or that, I wouldn't pay 2400 cents for it... I suspect even a junk yard would pass on that one...
gosportjamie I don’t think anyone would pay 240 bucks for t either
gosportjamie I wouldn’t because 1 its a ford and 2 its absolutely filthy

That poor Escape has seen some shit..Its amazing it drove for as long as it did.
I have a 2011 with a V6 AWD.
Bought her with 40k on the clock.
My trans. engages right away in drive with about a 2-3 second delay engaging reverse.
Hard shift to 2nd gear when cold.
She now has 270k and no change in the trans...better or worse.
Been this way since day one.
Overall has been a great and reliable vehicle.
That's biohazard flood I see a lot of familiar things to this car
wrench light means major drivetrain problem and the drive by wire throttle thats controlled by the computer will no longer respond and only limp to safety.

Love how you gangsta'd that sh*t. 27:19...I was sure he would budge at this point.
Escape VERY quickly from that rolling biohazard palace.....😨

That belongs at a Copart auction as a biohazard damage car

Sirtokesalot47 did you by chance used to watch davidsfarm? I remember that line from the "moldsmobile"
William Singer -- Yessss the Moldsmobile! "Open the door and you get more!"
Holy shit I forgot about davidsfarm. Guys in prison now for child porn.
sc0tte1 -- If I remember correctly, his jail sentence was for eleven months, and that was handed-down about two years ago. Nonetheless, davidsfarm is history. What a shame.
I remember him getting busted twice in a very short period of time though, but I might be wrong. Look up David Rock.
The best line is, " is this Hitler?" LOL
I was laughing when you asked the passer by if he wanted to buy a car (around 29:45) Funny ish man. This car is totally gross. Throttle body needs cleaned from mouse poo, Or dead battery caused limp mode. Engine should be fine.
Absolute gold. 🤣 You can't make that shit up.
I'm surprised he didn't throw in a "I know what I have"😂
WOW That's gotta be one of the worst nasty P.O.S 2010's I've ever seen!!
Damn!! I have a 2005 Escape with 233000 miles on it. My car is old and showing it's age but it looks like it came off the showroom floor. This thing here needs to be totaled out and sent to the crusher

Damn bro, it was nasty :P Love ur videos, you way deserve more subscribers! You are the reason why I gonna start flipping cars!

When you put junk me I died laughing.😂😂
Love all your vids al this is old but still laugh at it now hope tht guy thanked you for saving him from over paying for this mobile crack den
Damn that thing just needs to be burned I’ve never seen such a disgusting vehicle in my life
3 days and already 300 more subs. Great job!
I can't believe he offered $500 for that trash can. He clearly would be in over his head mechanically, I'd be surprised if he could identify a socket wrench in a tool box!

Battery was toast or alternator is not working that's probably all

chad harmon and mold infestation

Had that same throttle body issue with our 2009 mariner the wrench came on no acceleration possible and stalled out, ford fixed it for free as a recall
If I was near that, I’d want to “escape” as fast as possible
Of course the oil light comes on, the engine stalled. There's no oil pressure with the pump NOT running dude
They say pictures don't do justice when selling a car, in this case, not in a good way. Seller thinks his shit is gold. He should have taken that 500 and called it a day.
I have a 2009 Ford Fusion, i guess its gonna have throttle body problems
I was laughing the whole time at your comments. Hilarious. I’m guessing it was that guy’s car and it was in a flood or stuck behind a semi that flipped and dumped biohazard waste all over it.

Here is a tip. On all Ford cars and trucks if the yellow wrench light pops up it idicates that you have a transmission failure.
The wrench came on as a result of the throttle body recall on our 2009 mercury mariner which ford fixed for free
How could anyone treat their vehicle like that? They must've been the piggiest of pigs that owned that piece of crap. Probably druggies or something. Man, I just cannot fathom how that interior is so bad and full of gunk. It should be burned to be put out of its misery and I almost never say that, but even a Ford doesn't deserve that sort of treatment.
Must have been in a flood! Gross. Also, Hitler? LOL. I don't think the seller was having a very good day.
Put that Escape out of its misery! lol
Obviously it was flooded all the electric got wet
Holy shit....poor car
You'll need a good shower and a change of clothes after sitting in that car. I can't believe that guy offered $500 for that bio hazard piece of junk
Sad to see that happen to my favorite ford escape body style.
Max Finley definitely a good looking body style!
They probably knew what was wrong with it and they just wanted to offload it real quick. So many people do that crap.
I know this is an old video but damn, I would of thrown it in a field and caught it on fire lol
the mouse is hammered between the Pistons lol . the car crying like help me nobody wants me
2.5 is a strong engine. Mazda 6, some 3's, ford fusion, transit van, so many odd ball cars have this motor.
I don't see why he let a Ford Escape sit for a couple years, unless it was a flood car.
That wrench is the drivetrain I had a 2008 and my when my trans went the wrench came on
For sale (insert car type here)
Garage kept
Trans and engine are perfect
No body work
Never had food inside
Never driven in rain or snow
Always used premium fuel

To say the 06-12 models are in any way mechanically superior to the 01-05 models is kind of silly,
"I'll give you $500" some people really are masochists.
I’d pay 10$ for that in that condition
Not worth messing with
This thing was in a flood
You would think that the owner would show a tiny bit of motivation by throwing out the loose garbage such as the red solo cup. Must feel that he is entitled.
You should wear something like an anti-radiations suit before seat in this junkyard on wheels.
How can people leave a car in so much dirty conditions?
Should have connected a scan tool! older fords need the iac sensor & throttle body cleaned & the computer reset from time to time!!! probably needs general maintenance on top of a new interior!!!
YA, that interior need stripped & at least pressure washed or simply replaced! DIRTY PEOPLE!!! HATE TO SEE THEIR HOUSE!!!
2019 still for sale
The mouldy biohazard Escape that didn't . Ewwwww!! I'll give you 50p and some dynamite and some Kaps to kill it with.
How does that happen?
Looks like it's been in a flood
richard vazquez It probably was
Maybe the windows got left open after a rainstorm then after it got moldy the owner was like screw this and just didn't care about it and scraped it up and used it as a trash can
I guarantee you it's a charging issue. Most likely just a deceased battery.
This is funny as hell!
You first video and I can see you in south Florida? Repping the U!!
Henry Ford is tossing in his grave right now looking at this ford
Its the throttle body
Ran out of oil ? Sorry dude but it would have seized the engine. That's a bad TPS or bad Throttle Body, that's what the wrench light usually means.
As I said in the beginning of this video I am aware of these vehicles and their throttle body issues. The ran out of oil statement was merely a joke among all the other BS this junk vehicle was doing.
I Louge to much whit this video dude.
This may be a flood car
more than likely
Wtf looks like a bad hurricane went off inside it
Was it a flood car that was not registered??
Take the iac, maf, o2 sensors out, also, the throttle body, clean them all, reset the computer & trty again, I bet it works fine!
The rear shock mounts and rear quarters rust out.
Obviously it's not well taken care of
You'll only need a cam that can handle engine noise. :-P
That's a deathtrap...
good luck cleaning out of car and it was in a swamp for a couple years
I have a 2002 Ford Escape with 230,000 miles
I buy it for a $1
My car did that just turn off ignition key off wait a minute then restart it it fixes itself mine did that
I think the alimestior went out it was running off the battery the losted few minutes that it ran I had a Suzuki that the alimentior belt broke and it had a it went crazy all the light and shut was flashing on and off
Jon Houck alternator
Laughing my ass off. That fucking tarp. LOL
Was this in a Flood?
Thats sad. Not even a decade old.
Holy hell. I would buy it and part it out at the MOST. Other than that I wouldn't touch that disgusting dumpster. Wonder what the VIN check would come back with.
Dude with the beard owns the car imo.
THE HEAVY DUDE IS CRAZY
$500 sounds like a good price for that car.
Bad throtlle body. That´s commun to the 4 cyl ford´s.
I've seen 3 year old cars in worse shape then this one.
