i gotta say...26,2xx miles i've put on mine since purchase and i've loved almost every minute of it....
after i bought the car i found out that the drivers door window switch wont let up the rear left window and currently wont do anything for the passenger front window
and i replaced the battery after about a month having the car
i read before buying about most of the quirks built into the car...the 2 day fillups at the pump and the sticking parking brake...so i havent really had many surprises
i did replace the waterpump thermostat and atx in feb but only spent a little over 800 outta pocket thanks to warranty i purchased with the car...cost 1500 and repair bill was over 4000 total
now i need to get a leak somewhere around the powersteering pump fixed...it managed to coat my alternator in a nice coat of oil so now my alternators slowly dying...and i have a leaky valve cover gasket on the rear bank
and i'd still like to get my 3.0 to have installed
other than that brakes tires and struts...routine maintainence items for the most part....
after all is said and done i am VERY happy with my contour....i hate ford service practices tho
