if its a MK3/4 , check the floor number very carefully as these are the easiest escorts to 'ring'
if its not raining when you buy it take a bottle of water and pour it over the seals and see if it leaks really bad but bare in mind they do leak especially when they see heavy rain!!
good luck

Lift the carpets to check the floor mate,and that the door windows close up nice and tight to the roof ,and look at the apholstery on top of the back seat as some times the roof catches when in motion

Buying this time of year is a good idea as they are A LOT cheaper and roofed or unroofed their still an Escort (apart from the few extra 100's of kilos in strenghtening!!)
A good little car to go on with until your head (and wallet) swells enough to buy a cossie
