Hey everyone i am new to owning/wanting a SVT but have researched to make sure this is the car I would like to buy next.I am fan of the Svt and am looking to purchase one within 500 miles of my hometown Lamar, Colorado 81052. I only ask that the car is in good condition and has less than 100,xxx miles. Thanks for the help

Damn. I'm at 106k with a bad first gear synchro, in Fort Collins. I'm always willing to sell, don't like the prospect of fixing that tranny...
Are you sure you want one? I was right there. I didn't know about all the transmission problems these cars have... I bought mine in Denver, at 91k with no problems. The synchro started grinding four months later. Now I wish I had stuck to my original plan and gotten a ZX3 for the same price. But I thought, oh, an SVT Contour! I've always wanted one! And for so cheap, who wouldn't want the performance edge over the Focus?
Eh, I donno, just me ranting... They are nice cars, if unreliable.

That is by no means what my car is worth, but thats what it would take for me to give it up. Well, I may be negotiable.

I'd probably give mine up for 8k or so. ~78K miles, good condition. I don't have any real reason other than I'd love to get a used A4. But, I have no problems with my car as it is, and I truley enjoy it. Your call, maybe I'd go less.

I would let mine go for 13k in a heart beat. Although it is hard to say b/c I am not even done with it yet. Maybe after time goes by I'd let it go for 10k.

As far as a car goes...they actually are reliable. You just need to get one that has been treated well...
It's the same with all the SVT cars.
