This is a 1998 Ford Contour LX that is for sale with NO RESERVE!!!!! Whatever the highest bid is, is what gets the car. This car is white on the outside and is black on the inside. It has optional A/C, AM/FM radio with tape player. Dual PWR Windows and it still has the factory spare tire with jack and tire iron. The Ford has just been fully detailed on the exterior and interior. This car runs and drives fine. The title is from Florida and is clean and clear. (No loans/liens, etc). To my knowledge and according to NC DMV the title will not need to be notarized if you live in NC. This is B/C Florida does not require a notary. I do not know about other states policies though. This car is located in Winston Salem, North Carolina. You can come and test drive it any time or just come on by to take a look at the car. You can call me or email me with any questions etc. at 336-602-6444 and the email is akruczk@hotmail.com. The following link is a youtube video of a full test drive of the car just click on the link or copy and paste it into your web browser: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7FM3e21mnXg Now this is not a perfect car, so if you are looking for a brand new car, go to the dealership. The car would benefit from the following (according to my mechanic): a tune up, (i.e) new spark plugs, air filter, fuel injectors cleaned etc etc. The tires on the car are in ok condition with two of them being good. The other two will need to be replaced eventually. However, you can drive the car away with the tires it has on it now. The second thing is cosmetic. Note: that is does not affect the driving of the car whatsoever. On the drivers side front fender, it looks like it had been hit in a parking lot. There are a few cracks in the fender. It is not noticable from a distance but it is there. Some bondo and paint will take care of that or a trip to the body shop.The final thing is highly recommended by my mechanic. The transmission would benefit from a service, (i.e) a transmission flush, new filter, etc. The car has over 100,000 miles and may have the original transmissionfluid in it. The battery is fairly new but since it has been sitting for a few weeks it will need to be driven for a few miles to get its full charge back. But it still starts just fine, I start it up at least twice a week. Other than those few minor things this car is great and has been a great daily driver for years to and from Florida. All highway miles! If the car gets a tune up and a transmission flush it will run like a champ. It has been a great car. Now it is a second car for me that is laying around the yard. So it is time to sell it. All and all this is a great fuel efficient car 30+ mpg city and highway combined (2.0 liter 4 cylinder engine) and it has fairly low miles for the year. It needs some routine maintenance done to but as is it can and will drive anywhere you need it to. Make sure you look at all of the pictures and watch the test drive video in the link above before bidding. If you have any question please give me a call or send me an email at 336-602-6444 or akruczk@hotmail.com Folks, I do thank you for your time and good luck bidding. (Just as a note I was looking over the pictures, The hood and trunk of the car were opened when I took the pictures so if you see a small space between the hood of the car and the trunk that is because I opened both of them before hand so I could take a picture of the inside compartments. The hood and trunk both shut fine and have a tight seal).Thanks for your understanding.On Aug-14-10 at 08:34:56 PDT, seller added the following information: I have uploaded the test drive video on youtube again. There was no sound on the first video. I dont know if there is sound on the second video or not. On my phone it plays back with sound. Sorry for any inconvenience.

The second video link is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fr2z3R_ioU4 On Aug-14-10 at 11:10:15 PDT, seller added the following information: I need to make a correction from the previous listing. In the optional section, I stated that the car has dual power windows. What I meant to say was the car has DUAL POWER MIRRORS. It has manual windows and manual door locks. Sorry about this error.On Aug-16-10 at 19:06:21 PDT, seller added the following information: Just as a note folks: I need everyone who is currently bidding on this car or anyone who is going to bid on this car to understand that the car is going to be sold as is, where is, with no warranty of any kind. I have had several questions about this so I thought I would just explain. The car has no warranty nor will I honor one. The car is sold "as is" and the buyer must sign the title and sign a bill of sale recognizing that fact. Finally the car is sold where it is right now because I have returned the tags to the Florida DMV. Everything is up to date and legally speaking everything is good, so you will have no problem getting tags from your state. Also there is no inspection of any kind in Florida so the car has not been inspected. If your state requires an inspection then you will have to get that done on your own terms. Thanks for your understanding.
