Well as some or most know the 04 will be up for sale soon. So I needed a reliable DD to replace it. I found this score at a local nissan dealer ship.

2000 Ford Contour SVT
86k miles!

























Thing is quick! Handles sooooooo nice too!

 

I like it. I would rock it

 

Nice! Headlights need work lol

 

Very good condition for how old those things are! Sad to see the 04 go but gotta do what ya gotta do.

 

Not bad, looks pretty clean but the headlights need a polishing asap.
Why is the 04 going away?

 

thats pretty damn clean!

 

clean car! What's under the hood of those things anyway? Looks just like a SHO engine in there. But what do I know? nothin'. lol.

 

badass mike!

 

I've always liked those. Faster and better handling than a 325 BMW of the same years. Awesome little cars and a great sounding exhaust (especially for a V6!).

Get some new headlights and keep'r clean

Shane - 2.5L V6 in there, manual trans only and 200hp IIRC. Suspension got a good chunk of work too. They were on the short list for cars before I got into the Ranger world. Those, Mark VIII's and a few other cars got the "interesting yet reliable" badge from me.

 

Nice looking car! I always liked them.
There is someone not too far from me who put a 3.0L DOHC into one of them.... just an idea... haha

 

Nice!!!! my buddy had one back in high school with some work done to it, he would kill Honda's, people would make fun of it until they got beat lol.

 

Thanks Steve. I've always liked 'em, just didn't know a thing about them other than they're an upsized Escort and had go-fast parts. LOL.

 

nice DD. my old PE coach in high school had one and it was pretty fixed up. cool little cars.

 

Nice DD , but the ID plate calls for 215/50/16 and you have 205/55/16

J/K haha great looking contour

 

nice thats a 2.5L right?

 

Can you not read?

 

^quite the first post lol

Thanks

Yeah i'm going to see what I can do. I may just buy some new ones.

Thanks man and yeah I hate to let it go, but life happens

Having to take a lot of time off work to take care of my parents. Plus it's costing me close to 500 a month. So life will get less stressful when it's gone.

Thanks!
