hmmmm
how did a car from NYC get on an AZ lot

I have never seen a Carfax report that has ever listed an accident or anything bad about a car.

Thanks Adam

Th car is in New York/New Jersey, thats where I am originally from. I bought it for my gf and needed to check the ownership history. She actually bought it already but its taking too long for the title exchange to be completed and suspected a leinholder on the vehicle (looks like there is). If it cant be straighten out very soon Im gonna have her return the car and get her/my money back.

well do not forget to add the performance speed rated tires for those hot AZ roads and a cooler to keep emergency water and put asside money to repaint the car regularly .

The car is going to stay in NJ. (at least thats the plan now) And its not THAT bad out here my contour has held up pretty good. I bought it in phoenix and the guy kept it garaged. The past 3 years i owned it the paint has held up ok and i only have end spot covered parking, and bakes in the sun while im at work. No cooling prob expect for when my serp belt broke and on my 2nd set of tires in 50K miles.

A bigger concern is takin' car of windshield cracks right away because the heat makes them spread pretty fast.

Would you mind doing two for me too

If someone has an active CARFAX account, I'd also appreciate having 2 vehicles run for a friend of mine. PM-ing the info to me would be great. Thanks!

I'd tried to talk my friend into getting a Zetec 5-Speed Contique, but none are for sale in the local area.
