FOR AUCTION 1998 FORD CONTOUR 103,000 MILES  I PLACED A VIDEO HERE FOR EVERYONE TO SEE BECAUSE THIS THING STARTS EVERY TIME.  ITS RUNNING DURING THE VIDEO.  I PURCHASED THIS FOR MY NIECE WHILE SHE COMPLETED HER INTERNSHIP.  WE CHANGED THE TIMING BELT, BATTERY AND HAD THE BRAKES DONE.  WHILE SHE HAD IT IN LONG ISLAND IT WAS HIT WHILE PARKED ON THE STREET AT NIGHT, SOMEONE TAGGED THE DOOR DRIVER SIDE MOSTLY REAR DOOR DAMAGE AND IT DOESNT IMPEDE PROPER OPERATION OF DOORS AND THE SEALS STILL HOLD WATER FINE.   THE AC NEEDS A NEW METAL TUBE IN THE REAR MOST AREA OF THE ENGINE BUT AN EASY FIX.   THE TRANNY NEEDS WORK, IT DRIVES BUT STARTS TO SLIP IN AND OUT OF GEAR AT 55 MILES PER HOUR.   ALL POWER, THE WINDOWS, DOOR LOCKS, AND POWER MIRRORS ALL OPERATE FINE.  THE ONLY OTHER ISSUE IS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT.  ITS NOT THE CAM SENSOR AND THE CAM HAS NO END PLAY, THE TIMING BELT IS ON CORRECTLY.    THESE VEHICLES ARE FAMOUS FOR THIS ISSUE AND IT CAN BE ONE OF FIVE OR SIX DIFFERENT THINGS.  SEE FORD CONTOUR WEBSITE, MY GUT INSTINCT TELLS ME ITS EITHER AN ELECTRICAL ITEM OR OXYGEN SENSOR?  THE BOTTOM LINE IS THE ENGINE RUNS STRONG.  AND WITH SOME FAIRLY MINOR WORK COULD BE A GREAT CAR FOR A COLLEGE STUDENT NEEDING TRANSPORTATION FOR THE UPCOMING FALL. BUYER RESPONSIBLE FOR PICK UP OR I CAN ARRANGE FOR A FEE. BIDDERS WITH FEEDBACK OF 10 OR LESS ARE REQUIRED TO CONTACT ME BEFORE BIDDING OR THEIR BIDS WILL BE CANCELLED. PLEASE SEE OUR OTHER ITEMS!!!
