Correct I had literally just over 160K on mine with more than regular maintenance, and I babied it like you would not believe. One day my wife drove it to school, I was at work she pulled into a gas station to buy a pop and with no warning at all the car shut off. It has never ran again.

You guys can thread jack. It's not a build thread or anything. Lol. : )

I am not looking at anyone in particular right now. I want a white or silver ZTS with a manual. And not sure if it was an option or standard with the ZTS but I want fogs as well. This will be a DD along with my SVT. This MIGHT happen next summer if I can sell my sunfire. Still a long shot at the moment but I can always wish right. : )

from the look of it, it appears to be a SE. this is based off the wheels on it.

Don't be scared about it being a SE. nothing wrong with it, they can still have the zetec. Which that one looks like it does, they just don't get fogs, sunroof, or the 16 inch wheels. They do still get power everything and CD player.

i think i'm gettin the picture with the sedans. so LX is base model with standard everything, SE is mid model, and the ZTS is the model with likely the most options. are the split-5's 15"?
