Whats currently wrong with your contour?
- Thread starter CarpePoon
- Start date
-Warped rotors
-CEL (well that's been on for like 9 years...)
-A few minor scratches, a few hickory nut dents on the hood
-Bad suspension (although I've really gotten used to it, it seems to have firmed up.)
-Parking brake boot needs re-attachment
-Needs plugs and wires
Otherwise it's amazingly clean inside and out for 185,000 miles. Looks great when freshly washed or a good 5-footer otherwise.

I assume that is what he means. Yours can't be too bad though, because you have t red. Crows feet is typical on black contiques.

I call BS!!!
anybody considered changing the name of the forums to Contour Enthusiasts Lounge that would make it "CEL" for short? seems better fitting for our cars.
^ LOL!
Seriously, there is nothing wrong with my car. No CEL, no nothing.
I've only had a CEL once and it was for an 02 sensor, that was about 2 yrs ago. I've replaced the IAC when I had a very sporadic stalling issue, the suspension was changed because I wanted it lowered (not because of a problem). The WP and belts were changed shortly after I bought the car, "just because". There was nothing wrong with the WP (white impeller) and the belts were fine, I changed everything out so I could start fresh with this car. It has regular oil changes, the trans/brake/clutch fluids have all been changed as has the coolant.
I've done quite a bit to this car, mod wise, and therefore keep up with regular/preventive maintenance. Guess I should consider myself pretty lucky.
I bought it four years ago in March with 78,xxx on the clock, it now has 93,5xx and is still going strong.
CEG to CEL.
