Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General General ready to buy, what are the trouble spots?

In the 1999 & newer you should look for dash warp. It comonly occurs near the windshield &/or around the defrost insert. I would also try to give the car a "good drive" to see if you notice a lack of power up past 4000 rpm. I have heard of many having trouble with a gas tank filter, & I personally had trouble with the IMRC failing during "spirited" driving. They are great cars & if you shop smart you can probably get one for a great price. Good luck
