CAN ANYONE TELL ME IF THE 2005 MAZDA TRIBUTE IS A SOLID LITTLE CAR? IT IS IDENTICAL TO THE FORD ESCAPE DURING THOSE YEARS. IT HAS A 3.0L V6 DOHC . WILL THIS CAR LAST 300-500K MILES WITH RELIGIOUS MAINTENANCE?

[@irish34csprigg61]

There may not be a market left this country may fall to its knees

[@gussmiles9888]

@scottykilmer what year was the ES 300? Thanks.

[@louferrari1503]

@@nickcoleman4702 my first car was a 2005 Mazda 6, and it was a great car in its own right, but different from the Toyotas I drive today. The Mazda was really sporty and zippy, whereas my Toyota feels more subdued. Mazdas are definitely very reliable but i wouldn’t say they’re equal to Toyota in reliability. I will say the Ford Escape was used as a police vehicle for a long time so it’s definitely reliable. Expecting 300,000-500,000 miles from any car, even with religious maintenance is a lot to expect. Nowadays for most vehicles and brands 150,000-200,000 is a solid amount of miles to expect. 250,000-300,000 if it’s extremely reliable. Anything above that is legendary status. I would expect a ford escape to last between 200,000 and 250,000 miles with great maintenance. If you want a vehicle that lasts almost forever, try looking at a Toyota, a Lexus, a Scion, a Honda, an Acura, or even a rebadged Toyota like the Pontiac Vibe. I think you’d really like the Pontiac Vibe if you’re looking for a cheap SUV that’s extremely reliable (has a Toyota engine and shares many other Toyota parts).

Years ago, I met someone from Romania of all places. She told me that where she came from, they never put salt, sand, or anything on the roads. They did plow. They had to do that, but they didn't purposely dump any debris on the roads. What they did have was a very strict chain law and all drivers were expected to obey it. Cars did better there than they do here and this was back when winters still packed a punch. It goes to prove, it's not the water, snow, or ice that causes the undercarriage to rust out. It's all the crap they dump on the roads in the US.

[@mightguy123456]

[@seanmcconachie6774]

@@je19662008 Man the things they have tried to put on the roads. Like sugar, where was that? Canada or something, and they stopped because the moose were licking the road and caused more chaos. Maybe this is a dumb idea, but why don’t they, in snowy urban area, build a kind of greenhouse glass roof with the street lights under it in a way where the lights help melt the snow instead of all the plowing? Or something like that. I’d imagine the heat of the cars under a thing would contribute to melting it depending how a thing like that were done. And if it were made like a roof with the middle part being a rail thing it could have a little salt spreader lil train like thing that could keep the salt off the road in a way. Then again I’m sure they’d have tried this by now 🙃

I drive 2004 Lexus RX , Lexus is extremely expensive to maintain if something needs fixed. It goes into thousands not hundreds.

[@louferrari1503]

I think it depends. The Lexus ES models are FWD and a lot of them are based off the Camry platform and share parts so the maintenance is cheaper. The Lexus RX is an AWD SUV so of course the maintenance is going to be more expensive for both of those reasons. You can lower your maintenance costs by going to a Toyota dealership for maintenance instead of a Lexus dealership, or even better, going to an independent mechanic for cheaper maintenance.

[@jaredmccain133]

The RX is basically just a highlander so most parts are interchangeable. I think one of the main differences is in some of the suspension components and that’s dependent on your trim level but drivetrain is identical. It’s other stuff that’s expensive like body and interior bits

Thanks Scotty for what do, It's greatly appreciated.

[@Greg-io1ip]

I hope you find a good donor car. Sounds like you got really lucky the tire shop was honest enough to point out a safety risk. I'm going to mention that welding under the car is high risk activity. Fuel lines, tank are the obvious thing to remove fully. Your wiring harness losing insulating jacket from welding in the vicinity can result in a new nightmare. Finally: Road tar, undercoating and paints can be highly flammable. I would try to find a good southern donor Matrix without that rust issue. Power wash it underneath in the summer, get it super dry, and do a thorough undercoating of rust inhibitors that perform well in your weather fluctuations. Good luck. Be safe.

You have to go to a self wash car wash a couple days after snow so you can rinse the control arms and suspension - if you don't want your control arms springs and sway bars rusting out.

If you're reading this, Mr. Scott honest question. I buy mid grade parts for my vehicles. Is that substantial? Should I just buy the lesser grade parts or the higher ? Meaning: I don't buy the cheapest parts, and I don't buy the more expensive, I meet in the middle as far as pricing goes. Is that still a good deal? Should I do more research?

[@okioki1131]

He will tell you to go OEM every time.

[@jaredmccain133]

Depends on the part. Anything electrical/sensor related go OEM. Struts go OEM. Any parts that require extensive labor to change, go OEM. Other stuff you’re probably fine getting mid-grade parts.

[@greatestever7644]

The Mercury Mariner, Ford escape, and Mazda tribute are all the same car made with parts from both Ford and Mazda and they are bullet proof with proper maintenance. The only problem with the V6 engine is the alternator is an expensive job to replace because it's behind the engine compared to the 4 cylinder is in the front. So if you ever have to replace the alternator make sure you buy a quality one so you won't have to deal with it for the next decade. And stay away from the hybrids because the transmission is none serviceable so people beat them down. Just my knowledge as an owner of a 2012 2.5 I4 ford escape XLT owner who does his own maintenance, and AAA driver who has to tow the hybrid versions with tranny problems. ​@@nickcoleman4702

[@jaredmccain133]

@@nickcoleman4702 i would say yes it would be possible to get that kind of mileage from an tribute/escape. Transmission probably not. The rest of the car may have issues as it ages and racks up the mileage. I have had many fords from mid 90s to mid 2000s and it’s usually other stuff that tends to fall apart like interior trim pieces and electrical gremlins. Other stuff like ABS and cruise control and such usually will stop working. The one exception I can say is my grand marquis after 350,000 miles and everything is original and still works and I mean everything! Bottom line is I would still take it over anything new that Ford is making currently
