So why did Ford stop making Contours anyway?
They should have gotten rid of the Taurus. I have a 96 and its a big piece O' junk for the most part. I replaced all the engine mounts because the engine jumps foward when you put it in drive or go around corners. Turns out it was the subframe bushings which were like 30 bucks. I had to replace the camshaft because the sensor melted and tore up the tip. I could go on...
As far as getting a deal on my Contour, its not broken. It was maintained,well. I spent a few weeks looking at used cars. Most people find a problem with their car and try to sell it off before it gets totally messed up.
