Vehicle Detail
This Ford Contour is being RELISTED due to a non-paying, no contact bidder! PLEASE, SERIOUS BIDDERS ONLY! If you have NO FEEDBACK, or NEGATIVE FEEDBACK, contact me before bidding, or your bid will be cancelled! This 2000 Ford Contour SE has been donated to our non profit organization. I have driven this car personally, and it seems to run and drive fine. The 2.0 liter, 4 cylinder engine runs ok, and the transmission shifts as it should. The transmission however leaks fluid badly! I don't know if it is a line, seals, or the transmission pan, but it leaks!!! The car is driveable as is, but fluid must be added often! It practically comes right out unless the car is being driven! Again, however, the transmission seems to shift ok (with fluid). The car has a BRAND NEW battery. I also noticed that the car has a tiny (pinhole) leak in the upper radiator hose. Nothing too serious, but it should be replaced. The exterior is in decent condition, but does have some rust on the rear of the rocker panels, inside bottoms of doors, and inside trunk lid (see pics). The brakes, exhaust, and glass all seem to be in good condition. The tires are older, and I think that both front tires should be replaced. The driver's side rear door will not open, and I think that the latch is messed up. The other doors open fine, but the key only works in the passenger side front door. The trunk also will only open with the interior release. The interior is in decent condition, but is VERY dirty! Deep cleaning the carpets and upholstery would make a world of difference! Also, the defrost vents on the top of the dash have been removed, leaving the top of the dash (near the windshield) messed up (see pics). The defrost seems to work fine, and the vents are in the car, so I'm not sure what the story is with this... Also, the driver's seat belt has been cut or ripped, separating it from the shoulder part of the belt. The shoulder part of the belt is still useable and latches fine. I have no idea why this would be done, but it is an easy replacement fix. I also noticed that the interior rear view mirror is missing. The mounting button is still on the windshield, so this too should be an easy replacement fix. I know that I'm emphasizing the negative aspects of the car, but I'm just trying to be as accurate as possible. The car does have potential! This 2000 Ford Contour is located in Gaithersburg Maryland, and with a little work and cleaning, will make a great, inexpensive commuter, first or second car, or small economical family car! This is a NO RESERVE auction! SERIOUS BIDDERS ONLY! If you have ZERO or NEGATIVE feedback, contact me before bidding or your bid will be cancelled! A $100 paypal deposit is due at the end of the auction! This 2000 Ford Contour is located in Gaithersburg, Maryland (20879 zip code), and is being sold as is / where is, and is available for local pickup only. I will gladly help arrange shipping at buyer's expense. If shipping the car, PLEASE get a quote before bidding! Please feel free to contact me (David) at (240) 418-8860 with any questions. Again, this 2000 Ford Contour is located in Gaithersburg, Maryland and is ready to go!!! Thanks for looking, and HAPPY BIDDING!!!
