Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General General 2.5 Engine and MTX tranny expectancy

My car is a 1995 Mystique that I picked up cheap at 84,000K and had to replace the flywheel on it. I now have 117,000K on it and still running good. I am deciding if I should unload it, or drive it to the ground? Anyone have the 2.5 auto all original without having to do a tranny rebuild or the engine blow up? Whats the expectancy with fairly good maintenance on these?

search around many have high miles without much trouble, others have had trouble. if you keep up on maintenence and replair and replace parts before there is a problem you will have a long life from your car

also the valve is so small it might not be worth selling unless you really want a new car, best bet in that case is to find a dealer that say is offereing a minumum of 4k on a trade in that is in any shape and go for a deal like that
