Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Branches California Keep it or sell it?

Hi guys,

I'm trying to decide whether to keep, sell or trade in my 98 SVT Contour. It's got 151,000 (I drove the hell out of it!), needs brakes, is popping out of first gear, needs tires and who knows what else. The service advisor said his experience with Contour's is that around 150K major things start failing..I have replaced the water pump and lots of emissions equipment (mass air flow sensor, etc). Is the transmission getting ready to bite the dust? Thing is I love this car and just paid it off a year ago.

Opinions?

Thanks!
