they do vary in conditions ALOT. i have seen some true minters that drive like dogs and some dailys that drive superbly but are covered in road rash.

check carefully for rust too, they are 10 years old now and rust like most old fords do

rear arches, front wings where they meet the bumper, underneath door mirrors, near the boot trim handle. the undersides do tend to scab up a little but nothing structural suffiers like on the old escorts/sierras.

trim wears really well, aside from a little bobbling on the alcantara, and the fact i ahve retrimmed the steering wheel you would never tll mine has done 110k, they eat up the miles, mine still runs original turbo, gearbox, if you service them (with belts) they will go on forever. mine had a new clutch around 60k and 100k.

drove it to work today and it puts a smile on my face everytime, also pulls like a train with the 4-1 manifold.
