Nope... Only thing you could do is Svt Upper,lower and Tb. I will say this though, Doing these three things makes a HUGH differnce.

dont forget that the body is completely different... Check around here for pics, or in my signature. SVT's have different front and rear bumpers and sideskirts.

If the salesman "misrepresented" the car you have many recourse actions at your disposal.

"SVT" is NOT a "trim level" or a "package"

It's a completely separate build (and VIN) of the same chassis. Basically a base V6 Contour that is finished with specific SVT parts and VIN code.

You can not "make" a car an SVT. Either it was built as one or it was not.


Also no SVT EVER came as a slushbox.


I'd go get ALL your money back and a VERY good deal on another car after that illegal practice they used on you. If you want to stay with the Contour/CDW-27 (we seem to like them) at least make it a manual.

welcome to the club.

You technically cannot make your car an svt, but all the parts are compatiable with the V6 non svt as far as i know. (Assuming you have the same year, fuel system, etc)

And i agree with demon. I would take some legal action and see what you could do.

Get your money back or beat that sales person to a pulp...or maybe do both. I can't believe that someone would make up such a crazy lie. The worst a dealer salesperson has told me was that some car was a sport edition when it wasn't. I quickly checked his ass and he rephrased it by saying he, "thought the car looked sporty."

If it is a legitimate dealer you should get your money back and work your way into a great deal on another car. I would recommend you get a lawyer involved. The best financial deals usually involve a good scare from a official letter.

If it is just some random used car lot, I would def. get my money back and take my business elsewhere. I don't trust little used car lots, let alone ones that have a history of lies.

Get a cheap SVT on ebay!
