Used 1998 Ford Contour for Sale near Corvallis, OR

This car was a last chance for transportation my last option.... And it has treated me fairly well Suspension has issues @ 138,000 miles any car will stiff suspension holds corners well but you can feel each pebble on the road's surface.... mediocre fuel mileage 19-26-ish mpg 0-60 around 9-ish seconds.... manual tranny "sporty gear ratios" means it revs like crazy but burns gas just as fast i started out hating it but have grown used to it's annoying problems like the squeeks rattles pops and snaps and the doors stick open and the locks stick closed 170bhp isn't too bad for a 2.5L v6 I'd say if it is in your price range and runs good get it..... but only with 4 wheel disk brakes the drums are horrible on the base models

Overhead light fell out twice because the plastic clips became brittle. The manual window cranks broke off on both the driver's side and the passenger side. Acceleration is ok for a 4 cylinder. Fuel economy is great. It isn't the most fun car in the world.

It is good for ford, but it is not in production any more. Not many around. Some wiring problems but maybe that is just my specific car.

The car still runs good after 209k miles and 16+ years of ownership, have performed all the maintenance work myself to save the labor costs over the years. This includes; brakes, shocks, struts, bearings, bushings, alternator, belts, hoses, plus tune-ups.
