2022 Ford Escape SE

You've been searching the Ohio Valley for a 2022 Ford Escape that won't require a second mortgage on your house. Well, congratulations! You've found it. This ain't your neighbor's fancy-pants, low-mileage hybrid-this is the Escape that understands what ''budget-friendly'' really means. It's affordable because we believe in passing the savings on to you, not because it was used as a getaway car in a low-speed chase through the West Virginia hills. We have a solid alibi for it.

Here's why you should drive this ''experienced'' beauty off the lot:

The price: At $18,980, this isn't just the best deal in the Ohio Valley-it's a steal. It's the kind of price that makes you say, ''I can finally buy a car and get those new tires I've been meaning to get.'' No, wait. It already has new tires!

The previous owner: A ''1 Owner Clean AutoCheck'' is better than a witness protection program for a car. It confirms this Escape is honest, trustworthy, and hasn't been in any shady business.

The miles: Sure, this Escape has racked up a few miles, but think of it as a well-traveled, cultured companion. It's seen more of the Ohio Valley than your Aunt Carol's photo album. These aren't just miles; they're memories.

The ''toys'': Who needs a bunch of bells and whistles when you can have this car? What did we say? It's ''loaded with all the toys''. Well, they're not really toys, but the features and gadgets will entertain you for hours.
