So I ended up trading in my Escape today, was fun while it lasted but switched over to the Ford Fusion Hybrid Titanium. Just couldnt deal with filling up the gas tank every 3 days anymore. Anyways for folks wondering on what I got for the trade in. Ford offered, 24k, Car Max offered 25k and when all was said and done Ford ended up giving me $26,400 for the Escape (which is more then KBB list now) so I'm happy.
