98 CSVT with ~175,000 miles on the clock. Original motor, tranny, clutch, exhaust, cats, etc. On the second set of spark plugs and brakes. I did a brake job around 95k and tune up at 120k. The original owner did no work on the car. Most expensive repair was replacing some bushings in the front suspension, $600 or so. Its on the second water pump and starter. I've done a couple wheel bearings also. Other than that it has been just regular maintenance and/or little things. It sees redline at least half a dozen times a day and I cruise at about 85 mph to and from work, except where the speed traps are  The SVT is quite tough, but it is starting to get a lot of squeaks and rattles though.

Hit 65,000 today. Got it with 30,000 in June '03. Only thing really done, besides mods and normal stuff like fluid changes, tires, brakes, etc, was a tie rod.

I've got about 88,775 miles on my ride. No issues. **knocks wood* I've done the preventive stuff like change out the waterpump, belts, tensioner, tranny fluid, brake fluid and coolant flushes. I change the oil (Mobil 1) at regular intervals also.

Hi, I was just wondering what is the current mileage on your current Ford Contour if you don't mind me asking. I am just doing a poll versus a Ponitac Grand Am (95-97). My buddy claim that Grand AMs can get to a higher mileage before they go out (without any major repairs).
Year and mileage will do just fine.
thanks. I hope that our contour last longer
Ive owned a Mystique which we all know is basicly a contour, and I own a 94 grand am se 2.3l 5spd which to be honest with you is the most unreliable chevy or gm made product i have ever owned. And to get parts for that pos you can forget it. I can find parts for a 1980 chevy monza easier then i can the crap am
97 Mystquie GS - I4 ATX died at 168K
94 Pontiac Crap AM SE - 2.3L I4 5spd
2002 Mazda Protege5 - 2.0L ATX

There's no way for either of you to "win" that argument unless you're sampling numbers in the hundreds of thousands. For the record, there are individuals here with over 250,000 miles.
Exactly. Plus you would have to consider the different engines/tranny's offered. I know with the G'am's quad 4 there were a lot of failures!
But an overall total would be cool.
Current 98' has 110,000 miles
SVT was also a 98' with 189,000 and still running with original clutch and all.
