i don't think people think the Contour is 'unreliable' - my car was absolutely wonderful - i still miss it to be honest, but i am not the type of person to sink 2/3rds of the value of a car just to keep it running - if i had been putting in a supercharger or turbo then YES i think it's a valid point if that's what someone is after...
if my ABS/Hydraulic unit went out in my Mazda6 and it would cost me $14K (roughly 2/3rds of the cars value) to make it 'normal' again - do you think i'd do it? heck no!
to be honest brian - i think what you're doing is perfectly fine - i'm all about saving money and there's nothing wrong with keeping the tour going! enjoy the heck out of the car - that's why were here!
