Sara is going to need to sell her Contour by June, so I am posting it on here.
1998
Silver
140xxx Miles
New clutch a few thousand miles ago.
Has some body damage from being backed into.
A few parts also need paint (a side skirt and front bumper has a small scrape)
Doesnt seem to be as powerful as it should be and has a cel on, but it has been reliable besides the possible lack of power.
o2 designs used to own this car.
Also could come with a in dash flip out DVD player (the one she bought from Nils)
Such a crappy formatted ad, but get over it.

She owes 1800 on it and I dont know how she could get some money to make that value lower, maybe after a little time it may be less. She says she is willing to go a bit below that, but obviously the loan will have to be satisfied also.

Have you checked that Secondary clip? I had trouble with that when I had it. I had a ziptie on there holding it, but the ole man made me put the expensive factory clip back on. That might have fallen off again. That robs alot of power...

Read the check engine light and I might be able to point you in the right direction on what's wrong with it. If the secondaries are still opening I would put my money on the clogged precats, did you ever get around to gutting those?

I'm extremely interested. I actually heard about this car though a friend tonight and wanna pick it up in the next week or so if possible. I'll PM you my number so you got it. But could we set up a time so I can look at it sometime this week?
