2000 Ford Contour SE review from North America
"Great car, just keep up with the maintenance as with anything in life"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
CODE (PO708) Range Sensor Switch, dealer replaced it at no additional cost to me, A'men.
I hear a little noise when I press the brakes, took it to the mechanic he said, "Don't worry, brakes are fine, that's just dust that gets into the system." But, overall the brakes do work. I believe if he was lying he would have replaced something just to make some extra money, right?
General comments?
Great car for its price; bought it for $3400 cash deal including, (Tags, Taxes, you know). I went to this other dealership down my way and they wanted over $8000 for the same model and year, mileage, etc. I researched the trade in value was at almost $6,000. Only had one owner (fleet), I guess they take care of the maintenance and wear down of their cars, they are a rental company, I guess my statement is true.
I love this car, wife also. Great for basic driving on city streets. Took it for a 100 mile drive to Atlantic City, drove it at 90 mph, to open it up, as they say to do, but; remained at 65 mph, drove great, I really enjoyed the drive.
I plan on keeping up with the maintenance and never ever selling it. Not to get off topic, trust in the Lord, for he controls everything, Amen, bye.
