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: 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 that becomes heavier at high speeds. 3. Space: The front passenger seat lacks height adjustment, the rear seating 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: It has relatively high fuel consumption, estimated at around 7L per 100 kilometers. The Ford Escort's precise handling, rich configurations, and good sound insulation align well with the needs of a family car. The model is essentially a China-specific vehicle, and such vehicles typically have three main characteristics: high cost-effectiveness, stylish and bold appearance, spacious interior, and low design costs. At the same time, its current lukewarm sales have somewhat affected its later resale value.
