My neighbor is selling his Contour. It is a '98, SE, with the 4 cyl. engine. The car has 91,500 miles. He is asking $2500.
He was the only driver; it was a fleet vehicle he bought from the company as a second car. He changed oil every 3-5000 miles. He has all the service records. Which I haven't looked through yet.
It needs inspected in 2 months including the new Pennsylvania emmissions test. Gee, EPA, when will you wake up an realize your tests cause more pollution than they save. opps., sorry.
I want it for my kids to get to summer jobs, or summer classes.
I have bought mostly GM vehicles and I know them pretty well. Ford are new to me.
QUESTION - What should I be looking for while I look the car over? I mean, is there anything the Contour is noted for that might be a possible problem?
I looked thru the forums and archives, and I don't see anything standing out as a chronic problem.
This is a great site, and you all seem pretty satisfied. I'm very happy for you all. Perhaps I will be around if I buy this car.
Thanks for any help.
