And there was no LX in 2000, so you really don't know it all. You are getting the 2001-02 four door Escort mixed up with the fleet only Contour.




i love saying this YOUR WRONG AND IGNORANT YOU FOOL!

A simple search for 2002 ford contoru fleet manual on google will bring you to this link from ford's fleet car web site.
Link for my ignorant friend.

Also maybe you should read what I typed above. ahh yes here it is.

Where does it say they made an LX for the public? tick tock, tick tock, tick tock. times up. NOWHERE.

Sad.

This has been discussed on ceg several times. Just cause something is stopped being publicly sold doesn't mean its not sold or made anymore.




Your proof doesn't mean anything. Did you actaully read that link? That link is to a general maintanance guide book. It's for fleet customers who may bought a leftover 2000 Contour for their fleet. No where does it say anything that proves that there were 2001-2002 Contours.

Some leftovers can sit on a dealer lot for up to two years, doesn't mean it is suddenly a 2001 or 2002, thats illegal.

The internet is not the "be all end all" Mr. or Ms. Newbie. teenager. IN fact as Bill Mahr says "The internet is a bathroom wall".

Ask any Ford dealer, look in Kelly Blue Book, Edmunds, Cars.com, etc. Don't just think one little book page is "it".

If you can find a 2001 or 2002 Contour, with the 10th digit in the VIN # a "1" or a "2" and take some real pictures with a factory build sheet, I will personally give you $500.

Where does it say they made an LX for the public? CEG, Edmunds, Cars.com, KBB, Ford Motor Co brochures. 1995-1999.

As your grade school teacher would say "Do your homework".
