Howdy fellas. Right now I have my s13 and a 2000 ford escort zx2. Im getting tired of the escort as a drive around town car and i keep seeing s14s and want one of those. If theres anyone who wants to consider a trade of a s14 for my zx2 im seriously considering it. The cars in good shape and only has one dent on it (back rear bumper)that you cant even see. Its an auto and id be looking for an auto too. Any one even remotley interested drop me a line.

A ZX2 isn't worth as much as even a '95 S14 on the used market.  You might want to offer cash in addition to a trade.

Also this should probably be in one of the classified forums.

Yes, this should be in the classified forums.  Is there something wrong with our forum?  This is the second post I've moved there today.

Id like to add that if anyone considering this Ill take a 240 with high mileage. My escort is only at 50k. Ill trade for a 240 with 100+

I don't know why I'm bothering to reply, but hey, it'll help this guy sell...

The ZX2 is not a bad little car for that class.  The Escort name scares people off, but it's not just an Escort.  It's got a nice 2.0 DOHC, decent suspension, good value for the money on the used market.  There was a special ZX2 S/R model that would seriously put a stock 240SX to shame thanks to a slightly tweaked engine and chassis.

escort zx2 rs was acctually the same engine just with an even better suspension and different intake system. And the Escorts are acctually awesome cars. If you do basic bolt ons to a escort you can make them super fast, not to mention they have the same EXACT ENGINE as a focus. They have 120hp but equal toruque unlike a honduh. Ford seriously detunes there cars but they do have alot of power. If my escort was a stick Id of been racing it instead of my 240. They are cheaper, lighter and easier to make faster. I love 240s and i love escorts. Its funny to me how everywhere else in the world, escorts are a seriously fast sports compact. Oh well such is life.

The US Escort is a Mazda 323, completely unrelated to the car outside the US.
