Up for sale is my 2000 Ford Contour SVT. This mint SVT is black with midnight blue leather interior. The car has 91k miles, and will remain that way as the car is in storage. I purchased this car brand new in August of 2000. This car has never been smoked in, and has been maintained thoroughly. The leather seats are in excellent condition, and are eagerly awaiting a new owner. Early in 2003, the 2.5L spun a bearing at 52k miles. At that time, I had an ASE Certified Ford technician, install a 3L engine from a 2000 Ford Taurus. The 3L block has 50k miles, 39k of them being under the Contour hood.

You'll be hard pressed to find a black SVT as nice as this! I've pampered this car with weekly car washes, and Zaino 'wax.' The car has not seen snow since 2002, as the car was a daily driver for the first two years of its life. It now comes out on nice, sunny days.
There are only minor issues with this SVT, that I must mention. The foglights are currently not working. The wiring came undone from the 'foglight mod.' Also, the reverse lights do not come on. I believe this could be the reverse switch on the transmission is either not being triggered, due to the short throw shifter, or is broken. This part is cheap, and fairly easy to replace.
I have the original SVT Certificate of authenticity, showing the build number of this SVT, along with the original manuals and window sticker. I also have a lot of paperwork and receipts for this car, including the Quaife's lifetime guarantee certificate. This car is waiting for its new owner. I'm asking $9,000.00 firm. If you're interested in the car or have any questions, please contact me via PM, or you can email me at: Knoximous(at)hotmail(dot)com. I am located in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Here are some pictures:
