The median 2009 Ford Escape in the Canadian market sits at $4,450. That's your anchor. Pay much above it and you'll want a clear reason, like fresher tires or service records that back it up.
Most of these land between $3,897 and $7,248. That's a wide spread for a 15-year-old SUV, and it usually comes down to condition and history rather than anything on the window sticker. The low end is the picked-over, high-kilometre stuff. The upper reaches, closer to $7,248, are the well-kept ones a seller can actually justify.
What the kilometres tell you
Median odometer reading is around 200,590 km. So at this price point you're buying a truck that's already done the bulk of its driving. A car sitting near the $4,450 median with numbers close to that 200k mark is priced about where it should be. One asking top-of-range money still carrying 200k-plus needs to earn it.
Deal activity is quiet, with one flagged in the last 90 days. Nothing wrong with that on an older, thinning-out model. It just means when a genuinely clean one shows up under the median, it's worth moving on.
