Just bought a '98 ZX2 with 53,000 miles, CD changer in trunk, power sunroof, keyless remote and new tires. It was just traded by the original owner, I picked it up for $2800. Good deal?
Any advice. Stuff to look out for? Runs and drives new. Very happy with it. Fun car, I'm suprised.

I was wondering about the timing belt. Are these interference motors (twin cam 2.0)? How would you rate the timing belt replacement in difficulty, compared to the old SOHC 1.8's of the old Escorts(which I've done lots of)? Also I've noticed that the rear wheels seem to have a slight toe-out at the bottom. Car tracks straight and handles beautifully. Is this an alignment adjustment, or is something worn out? I remember on the old Escorts they only had one adjustable tie rod to set toe, and you had to install another to do the alignment properly. But that was for toe, this is more of a camber problem. Is it adjustable? Haven't had a chance to look under there yet. Thanks!

teh timing belt isnt hard if youve done them b4, and teh zetec is a non-interferance motor.
I dont believe it is adjustable, but im not 100% sure
