hi guys, i think its time to move on so I've decided to sell my contour. its a 95 ATX zetec, and i was just wondering what you guys think is a fair price for it. If anything i will give the buyer to choices: 1 take the car as it is(as well as every stock piece for it), or 2 remove all performance things and buy the car stock, and ill sell the indivudal things at my discretion.

Mods:
CTA intake
K&N Filter
UMI TB Spacer
Ford Racing Wires
Accel Coil
Autolite plugs
Zxtuner Underdrive Pulley
Zxtuner Alternator Overdrive pulley
Custom Header (Cholo Header)
2.5 flexpipe to 2.25 system
Custom Magnaflow exhuast - resonator and muffler
Cross drilled and slotted front rotors
B&M Trans Cooler

These are the things taken in option 1. I think asking for 2000 ( option 1 ), and 1500 ( option 2 ) is fair. AS stated before its a 95 ford contour zetec ATX with 130,000 miles, still runs very strong( for a zetec). Just asking for your opinion on what sounds as a fair price.

Thanks in advance

Agreed. Head onto NADA and find what the going price in your area currently is. FWIW, my Mystique is for sale right now, $2400, stock as can be, with 30K less on the clock. Go for at least $2000. Let people talk you down. If you start low, your screwed.

I got my 98 zetec with 117,000 miles for $1600.

The guy had it listed for $1800, and I talked him down. He also forgot that it was a 98, he was remembering that he bought it new 97, and forgetting that it was actually a 98. He wasn't really into cars.

I'd ask $2000 for it if I were you. If you get around that you'll be doing alright.

Remove the GOODIES. Sell them individually. Or use them to 'sweeten the deal'.....you know,"if ya buy the car at my price I'll give you the intake".
A car without 'HOT' parts is a car that has been taken care of and NOT abused.
The value of the parts as a whole is less than the parts by themselves. Add up the total $$$ you paid for the stuff. All they are worth, on the car, is 10% of the total cost.....ouch!
So the $100 intake is worth $10 - on the car.

-MY PLAN - my parts are following me from the '95 to the wife's '97 and onward to some Focus....

My thoughts exactly. Even IF I saw a car with low Kms, low $$$, "maintained" and newer, I'd prefer one that has been driven by joe blow who has done maintenance and that's it. Bodykits, performance enhancers (not the kind McGuire takes ) and personalization of a car reduce it's wanted-ness and limit the population that would consider it, for reasons ajax said.

And really, how many people think Contour when they want to go fast or look cool.
