I need some advice about buying a 1999 Contour SVT from a private party. It has most of the options, including what he says is an ESP Maintenace Package for life that is transferable to me. It is in excellent condition, and he is a non-smoker. The kelly Blue Book says the car is worth 14,890, and that is what he is asking. He told me he still owes about 12 thousand on it. Are these cars really going that high? How low do you think I should ask him to go? Is the maintenance package really transferable, if so how long is life? Any help anyone can give me would be GREAT! thanks in advance.
