I am looking at this kinda rare escort to do it up and the price point of the car is a little high since it has an engine knock. Does anybody have any experience with this model of car and know if that engine knock is rod orsomething else? The car really does not have a heck of a lot of miles on it either.

Checked out problems with that engine and my best advice is to pass on this one BigRig. It drops valve seats, stalls, vibrates on top of it having a knock!

@BigRig sorry about the cat box comments I've been laying on you but that cracked me up about the man with the sewing machine beside the cat box!

Hey Bondo, had the harshest winter in a long time, could not even stand the cold so the machine had to come in the house and seriously man I am sewing out of my furnace room beside the cat box. I am loving it though, thank god I don't have a dog. I would hate to be sewing in the kennel hah ha !!!!
