I don't owe anything on mine, other than the need to sell my '95, and any money that goes into it is going to replace/improve the condition of the vehicle. I don't expect to ever get anything out of it that I don't put into it, but I'll enjoy having it. That's a liberating feeling.



I'm with you. My Contour really suits me. I love the V6 Manual, but it has a back seat, and I can carry my bicycles easily.

But I'm just worried that it will become a money pit, something it has not been until recently.

Mine is paid for as well. I guess the unrealistic part of my hope for it is that now that it is paid for I had hoped to not have to put much money into it, over gas, insurance, and oil changes. Unrealistic, I'm now realizing.

Thanks for your input.
