Bought my contour back in October of 2003 (hentz the reg date). I am the 3rd owner (I think), Car had 100669 miles on it when I picked it up... As of yesterday the car rolled over to 119K miles. I love the car to death, but its been expensive to keep on the road. When I got it, the thing ran great... Shortly down the road It needed timing belt, brakes, AC Clutch and bearings, 2 new ignition coils, new muffler... And now I think I need a new hub bearing on my driver side. But still trying to figure out that grinding noise.
