Mods, please move this thread to the appropriate sub forum if it's not in the right one at the moment.
I am in fact looking at maybe buying a 2000 ZX3 with 130,000 km's on it for a pretty low price, and in overall good shape. The current owner still drives it daily, and they have informed me that it will need the front subframe piece replaced to pass safety again. I wonder if anyone on here has experience in replacing these, and if it's best to just get a fresh one from Ford or a find a newer one (2003-2004 that's mostly rust free). The car has low km's, 5 speed, and appears to have no surface rust. For the price the person wants to sell it for, as-is, the K-member is something worthwhile to overlook, especially when it's got fairly new brakes all the way around, and tires and everything else that will allow it to pass safety.
