Used Ford Contour for Sale

The used vehicle I own is a 1999 Ford Contour. At the time of purchase, I was pleased to see that there was no damage on the outside. The inside was a little dirty, but it had been owned by another with children at a low price of $500. All the needed functions to operate the vehicle worked properly. I was concerned with the mileage on the odometer being over 100,000. Living in a rural area there is a need to travel long distances. There was a spare tire included. When test driving it, there were no problems at all. Which made it easier to decide to purchase the car. A dislike was that there was no heat or air working. I did like that the trunk size was big and would fit a lot of groceries for example. I mainly wanted to have a vehicle that would get me to and from work. Also, with very little to repair needed. I did not care for the color, which was maroon. It wound up being what I needed.

I generally like the way that the car performs and looks. It is a four door vehicle and while not super sporty it has a fashionable enough design and includes a spoiler on the Lx model (which I own). I have put about a hundred thousand miles on it and it may show, but the car keeps on running. It is at about one hundred and seventy thousand miles now and does kind of clunk around, but that is to be expected for an older vehicle. It gets pretty good gas mileage, but could be a little better. One serious complaint that I have about the car is the upkeep on the shocks and struts. This car seemingly destroys the things faster than any other car I have owned; for that matter people I have asked have also said that I buy the things a lot more than they do. However, this cost has been evened out by the use I have gotten from the car and the low cost of the vehicle. If I had to buy it again I would, but I might try to get a slightly better deal up front to cut costs later. I'd put it in the category of good starter vehicles or good cars for a teenager.

This was nice car. The vehicle performed well. The quality was good. It had quality parts.
