1998 Ford Escort ZX2 $1000/obo

[Kevin 1G Drummer]

Since I got my IS, I don't need this anymore. I'll get some pics up soon.

It's a 1998 Escort ZX2, mileage is right around 205k, I'll get an exact number when I get pics. Runs great, gets 30-32 mpg but has a hard starting problem that I never bothered to figure out. Has a 5 speed transmission, good feeling clutch, no grinds. There's some rust on the rocker panels, but it's to be expected for a 14 year old car with over 200k on the odo. Clean-ish interior, there's no shift boot and the shifter rattles, one of the linkage bushings is worn out. Also, the previous owner had problems with the cooling fans not coming on automatically so he wired them to a switch in the dash.

On CL, these cars usually go for between $2k and $2500 so I think my price is fair for a good running car.

I had this car for about 6 months and drove it 100+ miles a day, so I have no second thoughts in calling this thing reliable.
