Yes, but, there are a few CSVT's running around with regular radiators too.. Originally posted by Buckshot77:

Shoot I know of an old time CEGer (not on here any longer) that had his 99 sitting at about 10K under his warranty expiration for a looong time (if you know what I'm getting at).

Well that owner sure likes to throw money away! That car is in amazing shape but I don't see whats the point of installing all those aftermarket mods adn only putting 1171 miles on it, thats such a waste of money IMHO. If I'm sinking that much money into my car I'm going to drive it and get my moneys worth. Just my .02cents  Aaron

The guages & bezel are correct. (I have a 98,99,and 00 SVT Contour less then 100 ft from me that I went and looked at.)

Just THINKING about it, I can see 25k come up really quickly if mechanics do EVERYTHING.

Yes, it simply means it has a clear VIN

What I am saying is that maybe the car is what it says but there's no way to know that based on the pix. I have seen the interior pix on the used SVTs and other cars that had over 100K and still looked the same. Professional detailing is the key word. Unless the really detailed pix of the "hidden places" such as wheel well linings etc published - hard to say, but looks and sounds suspicious a bit. What about the passenger's side dash panel?  With all this whitish residue - doesn't look brand new to me. The other thing is - the car got many mods that are almost unique to the CEG community. How come nobody recognized it so far?
