so i am no longer able to afford my 2003 dodge neon, so its time to sell that and get something cheaper


well first off, i am only getting this car to last me about 2 years, until i graduate college, so it needs to be able to last that long..

it is a 1997 Ford Contour GL sedan with 242K miles on it..

the contour has pretty much everything new except internals, it has a new battery, new tires, new alternator, new water pump, new radiator and hoses, used transmission with 80k miles on it, new tires, all power accessories work good, pretty much all the major components except for internals are new. all the miles are highway driven, as the owner has a job about 50 miles from here, so it was driving 100 miles per day, and thats it, they have another car for stuff around town. i know the owner, so they are good for their word.

i guess my question is, does the contour just have too many miles, or do you think it could last a few more years?
