1998 GL Sport V6/MTX
I'm selling my daily driver as I've moved overseas and couldn't take it with me. This car has been my baby since I purchased it in '99 and it really pains me to have to sell it. If anyone is looking for a reliable, well-maintained Contour then this car may be the one for you. Please read on for the details.
Main features
Duratec V6, manual transmission (hence 4-wheel disc brakes), black in colour. Approximately 180k (km) on the odometer (I can get the exact reading if you want). It has the sports package, which means foglights, rear spoiler, tilt steering, leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, and power everything except for the driver's seat. I purchased this car second-hand at the end of '99 and I am the second owner.
Non-stock items (mods)
-Clarion CD headunit. It's one of the nicer ones with the metal faceplate and remote
-KKM intake
-Spiral-flow sport muffler (nice sound without being obnoxious - doesn't attract the cops)
-Audi A6 side marker lights - these were installed without having to do any drilling or filing of the body panels
-16" Cougar polished aluminum (chrome-look) wheels with Kuhmo Ecsta 225-width tires. The front tires are brand new (see below). Looks and handles great, and there is no rubbing!
Maintenance history
All oil changes after I bought it were done using Mobil 1 synthetic oil. I've done a couple of transmission fluid changes, most recently using ATF+3 for improved shifting. The battery was replaced 4 years ago, new front brake rotors and pads about 3 years ago. The spring recall was performed in March of '07 - the two front tires are brand new because of this (literally less than 200km on the pair). The front suspension control arms were replaced under extended warranty a few years ago due to worn bushings (common problem), so this car drives a lot better than your typical used Contour. Also has had the front wheel bearings replaced as well as the water pump and serpentine belt (now has a metal impeller, so you won't have to worry about that again). I should also mention that it's never had problems passing the emissions test.
Known problems
-AC no longer blows cold
-Rear parking brake is currently inoperative. The parking brake cables snapped a year ago from corrosion, and when my mechanic had a look he also found that the parking brake calipers were seized. I was quoted around $350 to replace the parking brake cables and calipers but I elected not to do the repair at the time. My mechanic disconnected the parking brake mechanism so that it wouldn't drag on the rear wheels. My driveway is sloped and I park it by leaving it in 1st gear - it hasn't gone anywhere. But I have a feeling you'll need to get this fixed in order to pass the safety inspection. And to clarify, it's just the parking brake that isn't working - the regular brakes are fine!
-small crack (approx 3-4") in right corner of the front bumper
This car has been sitting for a while, so the battery will need a jump (I'll include a set of jumper cables).
There's also approx. 80lbs of free weights (including curl bars) in the car which you can have as well.
So there you have it. This is a great car that has many more years left. I really do regret having to sell it, especially with it running so well with all the new parts. If I could've taken it with me, I would've. But I couldn't and now the car's got to go so I've priced it low for a quick sale!
By the way, I should mention that the car is in Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. If you have any questions, just send me a PM.
