YOU ARE BIDDING ON A VEHICLE IN USED/POOR CONDITION.  IT IS A 2000 FORD CONTOUR SE 4 DOOR SEDAN 4CYL AUTOMATIC. IT HAS 210,592 MILES. 


RECENTLY HAD SPARK PLUGS CHANGED, PUT 2 TIRES ON FRONT(USED) BUT WITH GOOD TREAD, CHANGED AIR FILTER, AND HAD THE BREAK LIGHTS REPAIRED TO WHERE THEY WORK. THE CAR DOES RUN, BUT POORLY. IT HAS A WORKING A/C, DEFROSTER, HEATER, AND AFTER MARKET CD PLAYER.

THE BAD:
  • THE TAIL LIGHTS DON'T WORK, DON'T KNOW WHY.
  • DRIVER SIDE TAIL LIGHT LENS IS BROKEN SO IT IS COVER WITH RED REFLECTOR TAPER IN THE ARE THE IS BROKEN.
  • HAD A DIAGNOSTIC DONE ON THE CAR, CAME BACK THAT IT NEEDS A CATALYTIC CONVERTER, IT WAS BYPASSED BY PREVIOUS OWNER.
  • THE CAR HAS TROUBLE CHANGING GEARS, AS IF IT LOSES POWER, NOT SURE WHY, TIMING MAY BE OFF. AGAIN NOT A MECHANIC SO CAN'T GUARANTEE WHAT CAUSES IT EXACTLY.
  • THE INTERIOR IS DIRTY (CARPET AND SEATS), I PUT CAR SEAT COVERS OVER THEM. AGAIN CAR WAS IN POOR SHAPE WHEN I GOT IT FROM THE PREVIOUS OWNER.
  • THE HEAD RESTS ON BOTH FRONT SEATS HAVE HOLES CUT IN THE BACK OF THEM WHERE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD TV'S INSTALLED (CAR SEAT COVERS HIDE THE HOLES, CAN'T SEE THEM WITH COVERS ON)
  • THE DASH SHRANK AND ROLLED UP (VERY COMMON FOR THIS YEAR CONTOUR)
  • THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR SOME TIMES LOCKS ON ITS OWN AND WILL NOT UNLOCK, YOU WILL HAVE TO UNLOCK PASSENGER DOOR AND UNLOCK IT ON THAT DOOR BUTTON OR YOU CAN REACH OVER AND UNLOCK IT.
  • THERE ARE DENTS, DINGS, AND SCRATCHES HERE AND THERE ON THE BODY OF THE CAR
  • PREVIOUS OWNER HAD TINT ON THE BACK WINDOW AND TOOK IT OFF AND SO THE RESIDUE FROM THE TINT IS STILL ON THERE BUT SHOULD BE FAIRLY EASY TO SCRAPE  OFF 
  • THE VISOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE IS BROKEN OFF, STILL HAVE IT IN THE CAR, JUST NOT ATTACHED.
  • BATTERY IN THE CAR IS TOO BIG SO IT WILL NEED TO BE DOWNGRADED, KEEPS HOOD FROM CLOSING DOWN ALL THE WAY.

***THE A/C WORKS. THE DEFROSTER WORKS. THE HEATER WORKS. PREVIOUS OWNER PUT IN AN AFTER MARKET CD PLAYER THAT WORKS GOOD. THE VEHICLE DOES CRANK AND DRIVE.

THE CAR IS IN POOR CONDITION AND NEEDS A LOT OF TLC. I ONLY USED IT FOR A FEW WEEKS AS A POINT A TO POINT B CAR UNTIL I GOT MY CAR BACK. 


IF YOU CHOOSE TO PURCHASE THIS CAR, YOU WILL BE PURCHASING THE CAR I HAVE DESCRIBED TO YOU THE BEST I CAN. THIS IS AN AS IS SALE. I AM NOT A MECHANIC, I HAVE LISTED ALL THE PROBLEMS MECHANICALLY AND COSMETICALLY WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE THAT I KNOW OF. IF  YOU CHOOSE TO PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE, YOUR PURCHASE WILL BE FINAL AND AS IS WITH NO WARRANTY.

VEHICLE DOES HAVE A CLEAR TITLE.

White House clears way for NHTSA to mandate vehicle black boxes

Fri, 07 Dec 2012

At present, over 90 percent of all new vehicles sold in the United States today are equipped with event data recorders, more commonly known as black boxes. If the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gets its way, that already high figure will swell to a full 100 percent in short order.
Such automotive black boxes have been in existence since the 1990s, and all current Ford, General Motors, Mazda and Toyota vehicles are so equipped. NHTSA has been attempting to make these data recorders mandatory for automakers, and according to The Detroit News, the White House Office of Management Budget has just finished reviewing the proposal, clearing the way. Now NHTSA is expected to draft new legislation to make the boxes a requirement.
One problem with current black boxes is that there's no set of standards for automakers to follow when creating what bits of data are recorded, and for how long or in what format it is stored. In other words, one automaker's box is probably not compatible with its competitors.

Ford will keep Escape and MKC plant open an extra week to meet demand

Thu, Jun 8 2017

Crossovers keep selling like popular pastries, and for Ford, that means it needs to keep production going. The company announced that, rather than the usual two-week shutdown, its Louisville, Ky., assembly plant will be open for one of those weeks. The plant builds the Ford Escape and Lincoln MKC, which Ford reports have had record sales. According to Ford, Escape sales through May are up 3 percent, and MKC sales are up 10 percent compared with last year. In total, the Escape has sold about 130,000 units through May, and the MKC has sold around 11,000. Keeping the Louisville plant open will allow the company to build an additional 8,500 vehicles. Ford stated that all other assembly plants will continue with the two-week shutdown as scheduled.
