I see 2002 Ford Escorts for sale pretty commonly. They're a tempting proposition, because I remember the 90s Escort having a pretty good reliability history, especially the ones starting with the 1997 redesign (and even the 91-96 models to SOME extent).
The thing is, though, officially, in 2000 the Escort was replaced by the Ford Focus. If that is so, how come I keep seeing 2001 & 2002 Ford Escorts for sale? Were they special models for the car rentals or something?
