Used value estimate
2018 Ford Escape value
By Hari Vinayak · Updated 2026-06-12
Quick answer
A 2018 Ford Escape in good condition with average mileage (about 100,000 miles) is worth roughly $11,750 in a private-party sale — a fair range of $10,800 to $12,700, or about $13,500 at a dealer. Note: 2018 is a flagged year for this model (2013–2019 (1.5T/1.6T)) — EcoBoost coolant intrusion — the same failure mode as the Fusion. Unexplained coolant loss kills these engines. Expect to pay at the lower end and budget for that risk.
