Hello -
New here but been lurking for a few years because of my love for the SVT, SE 5spd Contours and Mercury Cougar.
The only Ford that I have wanted in the past 5-6 years has been the Contour, its a shame its not production for the US market anymore.
I wanted a SVT Contour since it came out, but at the time couldn't afford one.
I was bumpin around the net looking for something else and I ran into Drivetime's site. I know, I know, but they have interesting stuff every so often. I struck gold tonight!
They have a '99 SVT with only 34,000 on the clock. I'll take a close up look for myself but its the model year I wanted with 200hp.
He quoted me their usually overblown up pricing of $12,500 for the thing. Considering the its in mint condition MAYBE and with low mileage my guess its actual worth is more around $8,000. I haven't looked anywhere else for one so that's a guess at best.
Is there anything I should be aware of during my intial look at the car and test drive?
Thanks for any input...
PS -
Please don't try and "steer" me away from Drive Time. I'm fully aware of their history as "Cars Yes" and "Ugly Duckling" on sites like "Rip-off.com", not like you need to know this, but my past credit is somewhat "shaky" and to get a car like this without having to put half or more down my choices are limited. As SVT's don't even up used too often, I figure this might be the right chance to jump on something like this and deal with Drive Time until I can re-fi maybe in a year or so.
Again thanks...
