1999 Ford Contour SE - 4 Cylinder - 68,898 Miles Driven by an older gentleman who can no longer drive. Motor and Tranny are strong. Car was driven 30 miles to my repair facility. The car sat for a long time and a rear brake line ruptured. We drove it using the emergency brake (which works quite well by the way). After the repair was made we found it will need front brakes and rotors to pass NY State inspection. The rotors are warped and the brake pedal shudders when applied. A rear spring is cracked, although you would not know it by driving it. The body and the interior are mint with no evidence of body repair. Paint shines under the coating of dust and dirt. AC is ice cold even after sitting over a year and a half. There is some rust underneath, but it looks worse that it is. There is a small hole in the rear axle support thingy, but it should not be a problem for years to come. Because of the brakes the tires are weak, and I had to replace the battery. Thus the onboard computer monitors are not ready - this car will not pass NY State inspection. This car is going to the highest bidder. No Reserve! No Buy It Now! Please Don't Ask! It would be a shame to junk this car, but if it does not reach the low starting bid, that's where it's going! Car has a lot of life left in it. You can drive it home, but the front brakes pulsate pretty badly upon application. Because if won't pass NY State inspection ... New York residents are unable to bid or buy unless they are a registered car dealer, registering/re-titling the vehicle out of state or are using it for “Parts Only”. When a car is sold as “Parts Only’ or “Salvage” it must pass a NY State “Salvage Inspection”. This is done to keep rebuilt wrecks that are unsafe off the road – especially vehicles with frame damage or airbag deployment. My cars are rarely rebuildable wrecks and therefore will easily pass this strict inspection process when the problem that is advertised is corrected. There are about 10 to 15 NY State salvage inspection sites in NY State – 2 or 3 are on Long Island and there are a couple in NY City. Call me for further clarification. As a registered NY State dealer I am unable to sell a car that won’t pass inspection to a NY State resident. Anyone else can bid and buy. Sorry, I don’t make the rules but as a used car dealer I must abide by them. Any questions call 516-228-1016 and leave a message if I’m not in. Please don’t wait until the last day or last few hours to contact me. Please speak clearly. I will pick you up at the airport, train or bus station. Winning bidder please leave a $300.00 non-refundable deposit in PayPal within 48 hours of the auction close. If I don't receive the deposit within the 48 hours I will relist the car. Please plan on picking this vehicle up within 15 days of the auction close unless you have made prior arrangements with me before bidding. All vehicles that run and drive are driven at least 10 to 20 miles and usually 30 to 40 miles. I try to describe these vehicles to the best of my 35 years of experience. Our familiarity with these autos is limited to the miles we drive them. Please be aware of this when bidding. As always, if the winning bidder is not happy after road test and examination, I will cancel the sale and refund $250.00 of your deposit. Attention “Phantom/No-Show” bidders – I do not entertain any second place bids and always relist the vehicle. Final sale price is what you pay! (New York residents must pay sales tax and inspection fee when applicable.) There are no extra hidden fees!!! Good luck and thanks for looking!
