FS: 98 Contour SVT $4000 OBO
117,000 miles ( all miles i have put on it are highway i drive 80 miles roundtrip each day to work and it has been to dallas and back before also)
Feel free to contact me here, E-mail is [email protected] or AIM name is INSANEFO2, or my numbers are 502-299-9493 or 502-295-7032
This is a great car and it has actually been the funnest car ive ever owned. However we need more room for a family and pets, and i want a truck. It comes with a new water pump, that was given to me when i purchased the car, a haynes contour manuel, and a binder of the aftermarket parts that are on it.
Has been maintaned well full synthetic oil changes every 5000 miles (never burns hardly any). Rebuilt tranny and new clutch withen last year.
Leather interior
Dimming Rearview mirror w/ temp & compass
Heat and AC work awesome, had AC work done last summer.
Mods:
BAT Technologies Struts and Springs (lowering it appx. 2")
Steeda Short Shifter
Borla Exhaust
17" Ford Mondeo Rims Tires in good shape
Cerwin Vega 5"x7" Speakers in Doors
It will ave a CD player in it, i am keeping the one currently in it, but will replace for the buyer.
The Bad (well bad to some):
The check engine light is on, however ive had it to 2 mechanics (Goins Auto in mount washington & Jay @ Bluegrass Muffler) and they know what code its throwing but cannot tell me exactly what will fix it. HOWEVER, i have noticed no change in the performance or driving of the car. It runs and drives perfectly, gets up and goes when you want it to no problem. So I see it as not a huge problem.
Also the front bumper is cracked below the fog light due to a parking block in a parking lot owning me in the winter.
I will provide a carfax to the buyer upon request however this is the carfax i got when i bought the car and there have been no wrecks what-so-ever while ive had it:
