they dont run any hotter than any other car. the needle just sits higher than what is expected. if your temp needle is sitting higher than you would like just replace the coolant temp sending unit.
mine runs no hotter than 210F even with the turbo. oddly enough i have never even seen my intake temps get over 100 with the turbo even with the air filter under hood:shrug: i guess my intercooler works that well.

I just run my A/C to lower the temp. 
But it is always a good idea to flush once in awhile, preventing rust buildup.
I hear ya. I've put at least twice the amount paid for this car($2500, 2.5 years ago.) As long as the repairs are easy and dont come all at once, I'm keeping the car FOREVER.
Oh and striker, you need to bring that baby down here so I ride that ride.

Only major problem so far with my ZETEC was that the teeth stripped off of the timing belt at 78k miles.

send them an email asking which one you should get (they may not have released the one for the contour yet though as mine is a beta version for testing)
