My friend also has a Contour:
1) Year, model, engine type, and tranny type
'98 Contour (pretty gold car)
2.0 Four
auto
2) Mileage on odometer.
100,000 miles
3) Major repairs (motor overhaul or tranny rebuild and mileage when these repairs were needed).
Total tranny failure at 100,000 miles
4) Note on how well-maintained your vehicle was (or wasn't).
She bought the car used about 17,000 miles ago (1 year) from local Ford dealer and has no idea of its history. Car was very clean and in like-new external condition. She is a little old lady and did not abuse this vehicle. Tranny just suddenly failed at 100,000 miles under ordinary driving conditions. Cost of replacement: $2500.
