I'm looking at a 97 SE that I'm planning to buy. I have noticed that when driving in 1st or 2nd gear at about 3-4k rpm, when I lift the throttle, the engine lugs and the car lurches back and forth. Does anyone have any idea of what kind of problem this indicates and if it is expensive to repair?
Btw, I currently drive a 97 BMW 328i sport (that I must sell) and I am *very* impressed with the
Contour's handling. After driving one of the best handling cars around, that's saying a lot. I hope to buy this Contour, but if the repairs are too expensive, I'll look for another.
Thanks for your help.
