That's what my daughter did.
She got rid of the 98 Zetec (ATX) with 98,000 mile on it and got a 98.5 V6, five speed with 52,000 on the clock.
You might want to have it checked over before you buy it. Of course, no one can predict if things will go wrong but it's better to do so.
Good luck with whatever you decide.
