FORD ESCORT "ZX2" - 2002 - CAR RUNS AND DRIVES GREAT. RESPONSIVE WITH POWER. GOOD ECONOMICAL 4 CYL ENGINE. AUTOMATIC. GOOD TRANSMISSION AND DRIVETRAIN. SUPER COLD AC; NO FREON LEAKS. TIRES ABOUT 80%. BRAKES GOOD. NEW BATTERY, NEW FUEL FILTER. CAR DOES NOT LEAK ANY FLUIDS TO THE GROUND. CLEAN INTERIOR WITH DECENT LOOKING CLOTH SEATS. NON SMOKER. 145K MILES. BODY & PAINT IS IN GOOD SHAPE, NO RUST OR FADING PAINT. THERE ARE A FEW SCRATCHES THAT HAVE BEEN TOUCHED UP. ALSO THERE ARE A FEW DENTS ON THE DOOR PANELS. OTHERWISE GOOD BODY. I'VE HAD THIS CAR FOR THE PAST 3 YRS. THE CAR DRIVES GOOD. RECENTLY, I HAD AN ISSUE WHERE IT WOULD TURN OFF WHEN I WOULD COME TO A STOP OCCASIONALLY, BUT ALWAYS STARTS RIGHT BACK UP. I TOOK IT TO GOODYEAR MECHANIC CENTER WHERE THEY ATTEMPTED TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE (RECEIPTS AVAIL), AND RECOMMENDED A FUEL FILTER CHANGE AS WELL AS THROTTLE BODY CLEANED, WHICH I DID. UNFORTUNATELY, THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO DO THIS. WHEN I TOOK IT BACK THE 2ND TIME THEY TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T DIAGNOSE IT UNTIL THIS HAPPENED MORE FREQUENTLY. THERE IS A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON, BUT IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS ISSUE AND SOMETHING ABOUT ENGINE TIMING, SPITTING OUT JUST 1 CODE (I'VE HAD THIS LIGHT ON FOR THE DURATION OF OWNING THIS CAR AND HAS NOT BEEN AN ISSUE). I ENDED UP GETTING A NEW CAR BECAUSE I DID NOT WANT TO CHASE A GHOST. THIS CAR IS A GREAT CAR, AND WILL MAKE SOMEONE HAPPY IF THEY KNOW HOW TO WORK ON THEM. THIS ISSUE MIGHT BE AN IDLE VALVE; WOULD BE MY SECOND GUESS. I JUST DON'T HAVE THE TIME TO DEAL WITH IT SINCE IT'S INTERMITTENT AND THE MECHANIC DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS EITHER. CAR IS BEING SOLD AS IS, NO WARRANTY EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED. FEEL FREE TO COME BY APPT AND SEE IT. THANKS FOR VIEWING. FOR ALL FEATURES SEE ABOVE. Timing belt and tuneup done at 120k miles. Kbb private party "fair" value, which takes into account minor mechanical repairs needed is $1400. $1000.00 drives it home, firm no lower. Vehicle will be listed for local sale as well. May end early. Bid with confidence. Non paying bidders will be reported. Thanks.
