Sorry this is kinda long, but i thought you guys here could help. Thanks in advance.
My dad's friend from work is selling his 96 Contour SE. Its loaded with every option, and has the auto trans. It has 115k miles on it and he's asking $2,000 for it. I think it would perfect for my girlfriend. I have heard horror stories about the Ford Duratec V6 once they have over 100k on them. This guy is a pretty good friend, has had the car since new and has had all maintence done on time. He doesnt want to sell the car but he now needs a truck or SUV to tow his boat. Do you think it would be a good choice to buy the car or forget about it and get something else. I am not a mechanic, but do my own maintance on my cars and have rebuilt the engine in 2 of them, but i dont want another project car. Just something that she can drive and that will be reliable and not cost an arm and leg to repair. Any special maintance that needs to be done at 100k. Sorry for all the questions, but any and all comments would be great.
