I have owned my Contour for the past 5 or so years, however it is just time for me to move on, so I am selling it hopefully to someone who will appreciate it. For reference, I need to move the car quickly which is why I have priced it for a quick sale. I am happy to show the car over the weekend, but will most likely not be able to show it on week days unless you are ready to buy and have cash in hand and are ready to purchase.
The car is located in Lower Westchester County, NY, for those interested. As it sits, the car has about 107,000 miles. I bought the car with roughly 80,000 back in 2009. So as you can tell, it has had limited use over the last five or so years, but has done me well. The car has been very reliable, however, I will go ahead and list out everything that I currently know that may either be worth noting or possibly fixing if you are so inclined. The good: Low mileage for the year, as listed above Mostly Original, with the only modifications being a B&M short Shifter and British American Transfer (BAT) shocks/stuts and springs (these were installed probably three or four years ago) All electrics work - windows, sunroof, all lights, CD player New Goodyear Eagle F1 all season tires installed late last year New fuel pump installed earlier this year Car has been well serviced over its lifetime The car will come with winter tires on steel wheels The car will come with ford manuals if I can grab them out of storage (I think I know where they are, but not a total promise ) The Not so Good There is a check engine light that comes on intermittently – it is due to a false reading on the o2 sensor, a known issue with these cars that does not affect drivability at all Recently, the battery has started draining when it sits – The car probably needs a new battery as its been a number of years on the current one, and the car doesn’t get driven often The drivers side light has a leak, so it has condensation in it The power antenna stopped working Some dings on the bumpers due to a year or so of city living The car runs and drives great. The clutch is fine with plenty of grab left in it. It has just been an all around great car, but at 15+ years old, you should expect somewhat tired paint and wear and tear with the mileage. However, it is a great car for the price, and would make someone happy I'm sure for many more years. Please let me know if anyone has questions, happy to answer. |

Ladies Love It: Ford Fiesta wins Womens World Car of the Year
Thu, 25 Jul 2013It's official: A panel of female automotive writers has chosen the Ford Fiesta 1.0-liter EcoBoost as the Womens World Car of the Year, and it beat tough competition like the Mazda CX-5, Range Rover and Porsche Boxster S for the overall top spot.
The CX-5 and Range Rover won the SUV and Luxury Car categories, respectively, and the Boxster S laid claim to the Sports Car category, beating the runner up Audi RS5 and third place Toyota GT86/Subaru BRZ (or Scion FR-S). The Audi Allroad was named the Family car of the year.
The panel consisted of 18 female automotive writers from around the world tasked with picking the best car in each of eight categories, including top vehicle overall, using criteria that women utilize when shopping for a car. That includes safety, value-for-money, aesthetic appearance, storage space, child-friendliness, ease-of-driving, color, sex appeal and environmental footprint.
Aluminum Ford F-150 earns five-star crash rating [w/video]
Thu, Apr 16 2015The scores are in, and the 2015 Ford F-150 has been awarded a five-star Overall Vehicle Score in the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's testing. That makes it, according to Ford, the safest F-150 ever. "The five-star safety rating is a terrific example of One Ford collaboration and innovation," Vice President of Global Product Development Raj Nair said in a statement. "Our truck team worked together for years to deliver this accomplishment, using an unprecedented combination of advanced materials throughout the all-new F-150. The 2015 model is engineered to be the safest F-150 ever, which matters to customers who depend on this truck to not only get the job done, but also get them safely home." The new F-150's aluminum and high-strength-steel construction posed some unique challenges to truck's engineers. "The team had to invent new ways to manage crash energy, because advanced materials like high-strength steel behave differently," Matt Niesluchowski, the truck's safety manager. "We found that changing certain shapes led to a weight reduction, while also improving crash performance." Beyond the structural safety features, the 2015 F-150 is loaded with additional safety features, including an adaptive steering column and Ford's inflatable seat belts, that protects drivers in the event of a collision. Beyond that, there's the usual array of active safety features meant to prevent a crash in the first place, including Curve Control and forward collision warning with brake support. Check out Ford's full press release on its five-star score, as well as video on the truck's safety features.
