Check the subframes carefully(rust).

Had 2003 ZX3 and loved it. Would buy it again.

On the early cars, check for rust. They rust everywhere, like the finest machines from Italy and England. I have changed the wiper mechanism and the shift tower on top of the trans because they were stuck in rust.

They also have a plastic thermostat that like to crack on the Zetec cars

Also, check for rust. That platfrom was developped in England, and I guess it shows in their lineage.

I'd honestly go for a Duratec car. They seem to be better built.

Finally, check for rust.

Good point about the plastic thermostat housing I did that at about 100k
