Yeah... my ol 96 Zetec had 114K when I got it, had bad timing belt, both front wheel bearings, alignment, ball joints, suspension bushings, knock, etc., etc.
Drove the car from IA to TX and back like that, fixed some of that stuff by 125K (belt, bearings, ball joints, alignment) and it took another trip to TX and back to IA, then to MT (stayed there) with 160K on the clock (traded in when I found the SVT). Had a pretty good knock the whole time I owned it (hard drivin, those trips plus delivering pizza...), I know it would make it 200K+.
From how I see it, that Zetec engine was pretty durable. I just hope the duratec is that durable. At least I know the SVT was well maintained, unlike my old rental car/unmaintained Zetec...
