2000 SVT Contour with under 100k miles, looks super clean inside and out (minus the missing headrests), and he's only asking $1,950... There's gotta be a catch.

I think the catch is that its an SVT contour. No offense to the SVT work, but its still just a 2000 Ford contour thats probably been hooned all 95ooo miles.

No catch. It's a fucking Contour.

It's a Ford Contour that has been beaten like an unwanted child for 92,000 miles. If there is anything left of any of the motor and transmission mounts I would be surprised.

Funny, I've heard nothing but good things about the Contour.

Well, to be honest, I've heard people express that they were surprised by how good the Contour was, compared to their initial expectations... which is tantamount to saying "Huh! I guess it's not total shit...

Yeah, 95k seems like low mileage at first, but then it may have sat a few years with a driveshaft, too... Whatever.

Well, Bondeos/Contours are not exactly the pinnacle of collectability.

These are not bad vehicles. The had more horsepower than the Mustang GT released the same year. There was torque steer, occasionally synchro issues in the transmission, but overall they were reliable vehicles. They also have body roll.

it has reached the age that the special tuning on an otherwise 'rental' car no longer affects price.

IIRC the SVT Contour did have an issue with oil starvation in aggressive cornering...

No they didn't. The GT engine was rated at 260 in 2000. This is rated at 200.

It was faster than something it shouldn't have been faster than, though. Hmmm. My memory is failing me.

Why is the first letter of every work capitalized?

Something European? That'd be my guess.

If I'm not mistaken, these were just v6 Mercury Cougars underneath, with 2 extra doors. and yes they are worth about that much.
