SE SVT on ebay lol - CEG Archives

The guy has 0 feedback. I wouldn't buy anything from him.

Sadly, he hasn't responded to my email. I feel left out.

I like this one the most, "optional SVT engine"

i sent him my thoughts as well as well as the link to this post.

I think he gets the point.

Car sold for $3950, buyer has no clue either.

"Factory rims"? No Focus rims, swapped.

Dealers will say anything to sell a car.

I hope who ever buys that car does not join this forum

LOL, looks like he just scrapped together some parts and made some sort of hybrid Contour called the SE-SVT

In my response to his email I sent him pics of the SVT engine as well.
I ALSO SENT A EMAIL TO THE WINNING BIDDER!! as well as a couple of the bidders last night before it ended.
I just sent him this email to "follow up"

What, no response to my previous emails? knowing now that I am affiliated with the largest wealth of info and shared knowledge on both the contour and the SVT contour? I dont need to do much homework when I own and know the book by heart. Kind of shoots down your comment of me claiming something I dont even know about doesn't it.
You should think twice before boasting your poor knowlege on the topic and claiming to run a "A QUALITY TRUTHFUL USED CAR FAMILY BUISNESS".
Yours truely,

Looks like it has dash warp too. Poor, poor buyer.

Not necessarily. The pre-98 SE's had the Duratec standard and the post-98 SE's had it as an option. My SE has the Duratec.

SE was available with the V6 engine only until 2000 when the SE became the only model besides the SVT. A Zetec SE did not exist until 2000.

I have a Zetec SE, and its a 98.5

I used to own a '98 Contour SE with the zetec. I believe that it was originally part of a rental fleet or something.

True about the 2000 model, sorry about that

(The 2000 SE was a rental fleet model; the SE Sport came with the V6 although I believe the V6 was standard with the Sport for 2000), but after 1998.5 the V6 was only an option on the SE; it came with the Zetec otherwise.

I sent him an E-mail as well.

By now you must have been told that the car you auctioned off is not an SVT and does not have an SVT engine. Many at the Contour Enthusiast Group have viewed the auction and you are the laughing stock of the forum.

I suggest that you correct this fraud with the buyer and make apologies to us at CEG. We intend to make sure the the buyer is aware that this car is not as represented.

If you respond to this, let me know which state and community you live in so that I can contact your DMV and district attorney. You may think this is funny, but it is not.

This is probably correct. It may have happened before 2000. I'm certain that it did not happen before 1998.5 and even then it was probably very uncommon until 2000.

I owned a '98 Ford Contour SE, with 2.0L 16 valve zetec engine and auto tranny for 4 years.

FIRST OF ALL YOU CLOWNS THAT HAVE THESE SVT'S ARE JUST PISSED OFF BECAUSE I HAVE A CAR WITH THE SAME ENGINE AS YOURS EXCLUDING THE BADGES AND A FEW OTHER OPTIONS ON THE ENGINE THAT THEY DID NOT INSTALL BECAUSE THE CAR WAS A SE AND STILL IS BUT HAS THE SVT 200HP ENGINE WHICH IS NOT VERY MUCH MORE POWERFUL THEN THE NORMAL 170 HP THE REGULAR 2.5 PUTS OUT, SO ANYWAY YOU SVT FREAKS ARE JUST PISSED OFF BECAUSE I PAID THOUSANDS LESS THEN YOU GUYS DID AND HAVE THE SAME HP AS YOU , ALL IT TAKES IS WHO YOU KNOW AND ALITTLE BRAINS AND $$ & YOU CAN GET ANY OPTION OR NON OPTION YOU WANT IN ANY CAR.

Well of course, case in point. What a [censored] MORON. I just hope that the buyer will listen to our emails, yes, I did email him/her too. This seller is obviously living in NeverNever Land with Michael Jackson.

more insight from our favorite used car salesmen:

"THAT DOESNT MEAN ANYTHING, DO YOU REALLY THINK WITH THAT BRAIN OF YOURS??? NOT ALL ENGINES HAVE TO HAVE A
BADGE OR THE SAME INTAKE ETC.. ITS HOW YOU ORDER IT, WHEN THIS WAS ORDERED THE DEALER WOULD NOT PUT THE
BADGES ON THE ENGINE AND THE INTAKE WAS ALOT MORE MONEY THEN THE NORMAL INTAKE AND IT DIDNT DO ANYTHING
FOR HP, I DONT HAVE TO TEACH YOU CONTOUR SVT FREAKS ANYMORE LESSONS FOR FREE. EMAIL ME BACK WHEN YOU GET A
REAL SPORTS CAR. THIS CAR WAS OUR GROCERY GETTER BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT IT IS. EVEN IF IT HAD LEATHER SEATS
AND 16 INCH TIRES,AND SVT BADGES. AGAIN 170 HP FOR THE NORMAL CONTOUR 6CYL, AND 200 FOR THE EXSPENSIVE
SVT. THATS A HELL OF A LAUGH , 30 HP LEATHER SEATS AND 16 IN.RIMS AND 20 $ BADGES IS WORTH 5 TO 8 THOUSAND
MORE THEN MY SE. OR ANY SE THATS A REAL LAUGH"

Ok for the 1 millionth time, the SE switched to take the place of the GL in 1998.5!!!!

Look in the FAQ in main site. Yes, Zetec SE's were sold to rental companies starting in 1998.5.

this guy is the biggest tool i have ever seen

admit defeat, rectify the situation to your buyer, and move the f*** on

Well anyone that types in all caps like that, losses credibility from the start.

Here is the reply he gave me...

I HAVE EMAILED SO MANY IDIOTS THAT ARE TELLING ME THAT THE CAR IS NOT WHAT I SAY, IT IS A SVT ENGINE, IT HAS THE SVT COMPUTER IT DOES NOT HAVE THE SVT AIRCLEANER BOX OR THE INTAKE. THE ENGINE WAS INSTALLED AT FACTORY BECAUSE THE CAR WAS BOUGHT NEW BY THE SALES MANAGER OF THE FORD DEALERSHIP, THE CAR COULD NOYT HAVE THE BADGES ON IT BECAUSE IT IS NOT AN SVT CAR JUST SE CONTOUR BUT THE INTAKE AND AIR FILTER BOX WAS ALOT MORE EXPENSIVE THEN THE REGULAR ONES THAT COME ON THE NORMAL 170 HP 2.5L'S SO THIS IS WHY THE ENGINE LOOKS UNLIKE THE SVT, IT HAS 200HP AND IS STILL A GROCERY GETTER WITH 4 DR'S ITS NOT A SPORTS CAR BY ANY MEANS IT JUST HAS GOOD PICK-UP. ASK ANY FORD TECH OR ANY TECH PERIOD ITS WHO YOU KNOW IN THE CAR BUISNESS AND HOW MUCH MONEY YOU HAVE, YOU CAN GET ANYTHING YOU WANT ANY WAY YOU WANT IT JUST COST MONEY, ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE THE CONNECTIONS. THANKS

SWEET!!! So according to him I can go to the Ford dealer and get a Focus with the "optional" Lightning engine.

I'm waiting for his excuse as to why he can't send me the dyno.

I feel so special that the dealership I got my car from went ahead and installed all the "SVT special equiptment", no wonder I love my grocery getter after 3 1/2 years and 47.7K

I told him in a follow up email that if he owns both a SVT contour and a SE contour (he claims to) he must notice the different LIM's and that the extrude honing is where the SVT gets quite a few of its 30 extra horsepower. then he sent me this... now he claims to be a Corvette, firebird, camaro SS etc...owner. what a tool.

Mmm that's a lie.

Does he have the factory build sheet to prove it? What "papers" does he have?

If he hates 4 doors why is he getting so mad?

"I'M GOING TO SUE YOU ALL" Bring it on!

What a fuggen tool. I'd love to run the vin off his engine block in front of him and then slap him across the head with a frozen Tuna until he was unconscious.

Some people are retarded, some just act that way.

He deserves the award like no one else:

HAHA! I havent been reading this topic until now, and I must say...

This thread kicks ass!!

After all, he's handicapped; he didn't even take the sign out of his window. I guess that in Connecticut, stupidity allows people to park closer to store entrances ...

So is it that you can save thousands by ordering the SVT engine...?
Or if you are willing to pay for it & you have connections this can be done...? So which is it...

Window licker...

Looks like I missed the bulk of the gangbang...

Wow. This poor sod must be frothing at the mouth, though whether it'd due to sheer stupidity or anger I don't think anyone will be able to tell, given the nature of his e-mail responses.

He has to prove that it was a "special order" with paperwork from the plant and the dealer, and I bet he aint got any. Screaming "I KNOW MORE THEN YOU AND I DRIVE A VETTE" doesn't qualify.

One thing that really doesnt add up...
He's 45 and bought the car new..
He has LED window washer nosels??

What kind of a 45 y/o puts those on his contour?

I feel bad for whoever bought it, I went to www.fordfleet.com to find out the VIN, that failed, so I tried Carfax.com,
1999 FORD CONTOUR SE/COMFORT/SPORT
2.5L V6 PFI 24V DOHC
I guess the Fordfleet website is down, I have used it before... Someone should have shoved that in that seller's face.
Saying its an SE SVT is like saying I have a 95 Contour 4 Cyl 6 Cyl... And you can see on the picture, the perfect lighting to make the back end look all blurry, though only think you see is the Ford Logo, i dont see Contour/SVT anywhere, Also if it was Special ordered, the VIN wouldnt register it as a SE......

ROTFLMAO!! I havent laughed that hard in a long time!!

I threw my 2 cents at him. As stated below, it really reminded me of the "SE SVT Indiglo" guages for sale on eBay for the longest time. They only went up to 130. Missing 30 MPH, according to my SVT.

"Umm... that's not an SVT. Last time I checked, Roush made the camshafts on the SVT engines, and that's a very very big difference. Why else would people upgrading to the 3.0L Duratec specifically take the camshafts off the engine? And you've got Focus wheels. All I'm sayin is that ain't right. Kinda seems a little shady. At least it's not like those supposed indiglo "SE SVT" guages on eBay. The se guages go up to 130, and the SVT guages go up to 160. But I'm sure you knew that, cause you're an omnipotent superbeing. And engine doesn't make the car. There is a lot more to it. You should know being a used car salesman. I congratulate you on getting one of the limited SEs with a manual & V6, but that doesn't make it a SVT. Sorry, it doesn't matter how you slice it. They are two very distinct trims. Hey, I'll tell you what. If you really want people to stop bothering you in your supposedly limited spare time, just reply to this and say "sorry" and I'll post it for all to see and this will be over. But that just takes a matter of you swallowing your foolish pride... Trust me, it's not that bad, I do it every day when I'm wrong. Good luck."

Damn right. Get em' with niceness... and good english, too.

Reminds me of Moser Gill

I want to laugh too. Is "window licker" a coloquial term or something?

I don't get it - mind you, remember I'm a foreigner, so I am not 100% "down" with all your Yanky slang, but I'm slowly getting there.

LOL..too funny..

Bought it brand new eh? Directly from the factory?? Thats why OASIS says it had 895 miles @ time of sale?! Yep.. right off the line..

OASIS also shows that the car did not have the SVT engine..

What a tool..

Maybe our education system in the US is that bad, besides even if he did get the car dynoed.....I highly doubt he can read it. Craziness!

Sorry...window licker is someone who would ride the "short-bus". You may come across one at a stoplight...notice all the saliva on the windows

Truly no offense intended, unless you were to sell an SE SVT on ebay...Hey, I have an SE w/ SVT body parts, hhhmmmm

Woo Hoo! I've been quoted!...

His response to me and my response to his response.

Well, you didn't do your homework on this one.

Ford did not have an option for the SVT engine on a non SVT Contour.

The Ford shop manual provides the information that you should have researched. The SVT engine has a different VIN code.

The SVT engine has a different intake manifold, a different throttle body, and most noticable in your photo of the engine, a different air intake with a round Mustang style air filter.

I suggest you fix your mistake. I noticed that you did not give me your community or state so that I can notify your DMV and district attorney. If you are correct, you have nothing to worry about. Since you don't want to face those authorities I can easily assume that you know you are wrong.

By the way, I'm a Ford Service Manager as well as a Contour SVT owner. Just fix it and grow up.

he talks about these so called dyno tests and paper work he has to prove it, but why is it that no one has seen any of it?? anyone ask bout the "focus wheels package" he also had put on as another option?? lol wonder what he would have to say about that. i'd love to find out where in Connecticut this guys dealership is. maybe meet him face to face and him not knowin i'm an SVT owner, i could see the [censored] he would try to make up about it.

I think he was trying to hurt your feelings by calling you a girl.

My second comment in this thread mentioned the Focus wheels.

He is why used car dealers have such a bad reputation.

raise your hand if you would feel like an idiot if you had a forum full of people calling out your lie and every thing you say to back yourself up falls through.

*raises hand*

p.s.
don't SVTs show up at the svt headquarters stock and then get all the add ons there, or am i wrong?

I always thought they were fully assembled in KC, but then again I could be wrong. The only car that I know of that was assembled like that, was the Mazdaspeed Protege.

SVT's were fully built in Kansas City. No special SVT plants LOL.

The clown is hopeless.
