My '95 Contour SE (V6 MTX) passed 200,000 miles last week. Quite amazing.

Curious to know if anyone has passed 250,000 miles or so?

It's had most of the usual Contour issues, and still has a couple of quirks, but just keeps running. I bought it at 60,000 miles in '98 and I still love driving it. Over the winter it has studded snow tires on it and its awesome to drive in the snow - more fun than my wife's Audi A4Q even. My wife and I fight over who's going to drive it!

Great car.

congrats on the accomplishment and welcome to the site!

I agree, driving these cars in the snow is SO FUN!
It makes winter much more enjoyable, that's for sure.

Got to 220,000 on the 95 before I had to put it ti sleep.

Definitely. My Contour was my favorite snow car (short of my parents' Subarus of course). Handled fantastic in no-traction conditions, especially without ABS getting in the way.
