How much does a Ford Escape depreciate?
Based on live used-market data (28,653 listings, computed 2026-08-16), a 10-year-old Escape lists for a median $8,995 — 63.2% less than a 1-year-old at $24,442. The year-by-year table above shows where the value falls fastest.
How is this depreciation curve calculated?
It's cross-sectional: for each model year we take the median advertised price of Ford Escape listings on the used market today (only years with at least 25 listings count). That answers the practical question — what does each age of this car actually sell for right now — rather than projecting a hypothetical future.
Are these prices what I should pay?
They are median ADVERTISED prices — the starting point, not the finish line. Real buyers negotiate below asking; search live listings to see current local inventory, and remember advertised medians include dealer pricing strategy, not just vehicle value.
Is the Escape a good buy used?
The curve is the honest answer: a steep early drop makes 2–3-year-old examples the value pick; a flat curve means used examples stay expensive and buying new (or newer) costs less than it appears. For the Escape, the table above shows exactly which ages carry the steepest discounts.
