98 GL V6 MTX with 144,000 miles and counting. Replaced waterpump at 80K or so, only time the Contour has broke down on me. Well it didn't really break down, I just stopped to avoid baking my engine.
Also replaced the parking brake cable, brakes (at 100,000+ miles, I know I replaced the rear ones, not sure about front ones), still on the original clutch. Also had to get the fuel filler flapper thing fixed. That's about it.
Still gets ~300 miles a tank, so I guess the engine is in good shape. I do regular oil changes with 5w30 at 3000-4000 miles. I changed the plugs and wires at 80k, probably due again. I also had the radiator flushed at 100k or so. I've had the PCV valve replaced a few times, and I've ran a few bottles of fuel injector cleaner through it.

I have 330,600ish KM on my car which converts to around 200,000 miles or so. I own a 98 SVT Contour. Any problems I have had with the car were just regular maintenance items or things that just wore out. I still love it and look forward to another 300,000 KM.
