I have a friend looking at maybe purchasing a SVT Contour. It is a T-Red one and the guy lives in Clinton.

Just wondering if anyone knows anything about this car good or bad or if it is someone here????

I think you should sell your SVT to me and get yourself a T-Red one .

No sorry I don't know who the owner of that T-Red SVT is Laura.

How is your SVT running these days?

Mine is doing fine. I am at 378,000 ish. Give or take a few hundred. Looks horrible right now cause it is very very dirty.

Unreal, hope it makes it to the 400,000km mark .

What do you do for a living that you have 378kms on a SVT... yeesh

I hope it makes it well past the 400,000 mark.

I drive about 170KM a day to work and back, plus any extra driving I do on the weekends. It all starts to add up.

If your engine ever decided to go bye bye I have a good home for the car. A 170km a day for work that is crazy.

Actually paid attention to the odometre today and I think it may be more like 150-160. It depends on which route I take. I have been doing that drive for 11 years now. I am kinda used to it. Cannot afford to live closer to work and cannot afford a job closer to home. Don't pay enough.
So I do what I have to do.

i hear ya there! My commute is a tad lighter - 130KM round trip, it really bit my ass when gas was up around 1.20~! I think I need the annual tune up as well, my mileage is starting to go under 500KM a tank again.
