Looking to clear up some driveway space so my Contour is unfortunately on the chopping block. Looking to get $1200 for it if anyone is interested. Owned since 2005/50k miles. Currently has 202k, 98.5 SE, no sunroof, no abs, factory rear disc brakes.

Mods include but not limited to:

SVT Body Kit(crack in rear near driver side exhaust)
Stazi 1.5 front grill, stock rear(have stock bumper grill as well)
Professionally painted front oval, unprofessionally painted rear chrome strip that could use a touch up.
Knauberized

Koni Sport Kit Springs and Struts
SVT Front swaybar
Aussie 24mm hollow rear sway bar with PRT Endlinks, greasable polyurethane bushings, reinforced subframe
Boxed rear control arms that could use a replacing.

SVT Front Brakes

MSDS Headers, SVT Cat, True Borla exhaust.
Steeda Tri-Ax/F shifter with riser plate and Black Voodoo Shift knob

Dyed black SVT Leather seats
Wheelskins wrapped Steering wheel.
Mondeo Aluminum Gauge Trim Rings

dealer installed Ford Accessories Alarm kit.
Kenwood aftermarket headunit powering pioneer rear speakers.
Kenwood 4 channel amp powering front pioneer premium speakers and tweeters and two channels bridged powering 8" Tang Band Sub in rear parcel shelf.
Sirius XM antenna and receiver.
Power Antenna.
Hella sidemarkers

Red LED interior conversion. HVAC lighting needs rework.

Choice of 16" E0 SVT wheels with altimax arctic snow tires with less than 1000 miles on them or 5 Spoke SVT Focus wheels with general G-MAX AS-03's with 30k miles on them, still lots of good tread.

Amsoil Synthetic since purchase at 50k/2005. Currently a small oil leak from somewhere, I think oil pan but AC Condenser always has oil on it, maybe oil pressure sending unit? Changed every 10k(last one slipped to 15, always made sure it was topped off). Passenger side rocker panel was rusty so it was recently cut out, coated remains in por15, and new rocker pop riveted over. Not great but it cleaned it up and holds a sideskirt. CEL twice a year that goes away within 20 miles of driving. I think its an O2 Sensor. Shift cables need a little adjusting. Body has its share of dings and chips. paint is fading on roof. Never raced or anything like that. Just driven to school and work for the past 11 years.

Will include extra parts like EBrake cables(current ones freeze in the winter), driver side control arm that i didn't get a chance to replace. Rear strut Mounts.
