Hey guys, selling one of my Tours. Here's the link to craigslist. No more room in my driveway, and I rarely drive this one...so...it's got to go! Craigslist add has full details on the vehicle and like 18 or so pictures:

Here's the text, though:


For sale is my Silverfrost 1998 Contour SVT 2.5L. Car is located in Chesapeake (Norfolk, Hampton Roads) Virginia. Has current VA registration and state inspection. Interior is in fantastic condition for being 17 years old. Exterior needs some TLC. It was a Washington DC vehicle when I bought it, so it has some nicks in the rear bumper. It has just a little bit of rust. No jack point covers. 86k on the original motor and still runs strong. Not burning or leaking anything. One of the vacuum line fittings on the upper intake manifold cracked and caused a vacuum leak. You can only find that fitting in a junk yard, which I had no luck whatsoever replacing...so I capped the fitting with some flexible sealant and had absolutely no vacuum leak issues ever since. The car has never needed the infamous "throttle hang fix", either. Has four brand new Falken Azenis ZE912 tires. It's a very good car for what it is...runs strong and handles exceptionally well. I have put only 4,000 miles on the car since I bought it two years ago. I drive it very sparingly.

List of mods:

EBC Red Stuff brake pads up front
Dimpled and slotted front rotors
ST200 struts on all corners
H&R Sport Springs
Piecemealed short ram intake
 
Was considering looking at it, esp since I love the Norfolk and Hampton roads area, but the cluster has me quite puzzled too...
 
The previous owner did that. Didn't know until sometime later when a fellow c g ' er told me about it when I asked. Sorry for not mentioning, guys.
 
Hey guys, still up for sale. I had to leave town for a while, so I couldn't get back to those who were asking to see the car. Apologize! I'm back for a while, so hit me up! I did manage to show the car to one guy who knew a few things about Contours (his buddy owned a couple). He said the car was great and wanted it...but couldn't get the money together in time. Relisted:
