ZX3 with 133,000. I've owned it since 25,000. Only problems have been blower motor and tires. Tire rotation every 5,000 cured that. Replaced fuel filter last fall. Car is stock and is doing great! Except it stalled at idle a week ago.

I've owned a 2001 ZX3 S2 Zetec 5 spd since new and just reached the 200,000 mile mark. The timing belt was replaced about 20K ago and I just had to replace the intermediate pipe and muffler two weeks ago because the pipe cracked right at the muffler. Now I have a leak in the water pump housing to fix and a rough idle to check. It's been a great car to this point.

'04 wagon, 2.0 Zetec, automatic, company car (I own the company), 112,000 miles.
Repairs so far: Tensioner pulley and serpentine belt, cracked thermostat housing, motor mount, new shocks and struts. Otherwise just normal maintenance. Very trouble-free.

2000 SE DOHC 4-door 245,800 miles... trying to keep it alive

Refusing to let it die... all stock but 2nd motor about 2 years ago, having IAC issues currently. How do I tell what year motor (2000 thru 2004) the replacement might be? Can't find paperwork. Need to match up a new IAC.

Never replaced any sensors. Original cat, air cleaner box, and rear wheel bearings.
