Choices?
 
Which is the better choice?
2011 Toyota RAV4 with 39,893 miles for $15,000 or a
2021 Ford Ecosport with 44,175 miles for $15,898?
2018 Ford Escape with 32,711 miles for $14,995 2 hours away...

Would you trust a reputable dealer 2 hours away to deliver for free?

2021 Ford Ecosport with 44,175 miles for $15,898? I would go with this one.

I wouldn't buy any of them, especially one that is 14 years old. I own a loaded 2017 Ford Escape Titanium that only cost $26,000 when it was brand new. Buy the least expensive new car that you can find. Mullinax Ford in Apopka sells new cars for a discount on the MSRP plus tax, title, and tag. No dealer add-ons and no dealer fees.

Would I trust a dealer to deliver a car? Absolutely not. Also, if you buy a car from a dealer, check the DOT number on the tires to determine when they were made, and make sure they don't switch the tires before delivery.

Check ALL of them for FLOOD damage, as soon as i saw a vehicle will a lower than normal, i assume it was flooded and then the title was "washed" in another state so you no longer can easily see it was in a flood zone or that it was scrapped due to flood damage.

The RAV4 by far, those Ford's won't last as long nor retain much value. If the dealer is offering to deliver for free..... does that mean you haven't phyically seen any of these? Buying sight unseen is pretty bad move. if you've seen it already then let the dealer deliver it

Get the Lexus

This is the Villages where Golf Carts are the order of the day and cars are secondary. I would say get the Red one.

Toyota or Lexus have the best vehicles on the planet! I have a 2005 Toyota Highlander with 225,000and 2002 Lexus with 219,000 miles. Both are reliable and economical. The Lexus is for sale. Make an offer.
