Recommended Posts

Picked up the Escort the other day because I know a few people looking for a cheap beater. It needs some TLC.

 

It has 150k miles

Automatic

Keyless entry

Sunroof

Aftermarket radio

 

Currently it does have an exhaust leak on the front pipe

Rotors have some surface rust as it has sat for a month before I picked it up

Some body rust

 

 

$1400 obo

These are non-interference by the way. I've owned 32 ZX2's and the manuals on them are incorrect. They list them as an interference engine and they aren't. I've replaced 10+ timing belts on these and they are completely fine after start up, even if they broke or skipped a tooth.

Flipped them for 5 years and DD'd about 10 of them since I was 15. I'd buy them on Craigslist and flip them...they're easy as shit to work on and awesome daily's...this was mostly when gas was $4+ per gallon.

 

I also had the 2nd highest HP ZX2 in the world (trust me, it doesn't sound as fun as it actually was)...326whp/296wtq in a 2100 lb car.

I liked my buddy/coworkers ZX2 back in the day, hmm, 1997. He had the ZX2 and I had an ACR Neon. Light bolt ons on each. Both performed surprisingly well against similar cars of the time.

Man... id love to park the Audi and drive a beater but pretty sure my woman would leave me if i bought something like this.

 

You need a new woman then. Park high maint cost. At for a cheap reliable beater and save gas money? Any woman should be very for that and not against
