96 Zetec ATX w/ 160K miles...
Problem list:
-All suspension bushings shot (and I do mean ALL... couldn't even align it due to that).
-very loud valvetrain tick
-didn't idle well (2 foot while stopping was the norm)
-normal temp was right on the edge of the red
-tranny would overheat and bang shift
-rear brakes junk (replaced all parts, still didn't work worth a crap)
-power locks didn't work
Otherwise was a good beater car IMO, I'm sure if I kept it I could have got well over 200K out of it.
Oh, and welcome to CEG...

160K miles on mine and the thing ran great (minus the leaky injector) until I hit that deer on sunday. Well, actually I still managed to drive it back 50 miles with a leaky radiator and it still ran great!

I have a 2000 SVT with 153,000 miles. I bought it new. It has been fun but not trouble free.
