What are the reasons for the low resale value of the Ford Escort?
1 Answers
The Ford Escort has a very obvious price advantage compared to models in the same class, but its lukewarm sales today have somewhat affected its later resale value. The specific reasons for the low resale value of the Ford Escort are as follows: 1. Appearance issues: The family-style grille gives it a very bold look, somewhat reminiscent of American muscle cars. 2. Configuration aspects: Compared to models in the same price range, it has high-end configurations, including electronic power steering, precise steering, and light steering at low speeds with heavier steering at high speeds. 3. Space issues: The passenger seat lacks height adjustment, the rear space is not large, the suspension is too stiff, making it uncomfortable on bumpy roads, and the seats are tiring for long-distance driving. 4. Performance aspects: The fuel consumption is relatively high, estimated at around 7L per 100 kilometers. The Ford Escort's precise handling, rich configurations, and good sound insulation are quite suitable for the needs of family cars. The integrated model is also equivalent to a China-specific car, and the three main characteristics of such cars are high cost performance, fashionable and bold appearance, large space, and low design costs. At the same time, the current lukewarm sales have somewhat affected its later resale value.
