1998 Ford Contour 4 Door Manual Trans Stick 135k Blue - Recent Inspection 4 Cyl on 2040-cars
Nicholson, Pennsylvania, United States
This is a auction with no reserve. 1st bid means it sells. This blue books for much more than the starting price, but I want this sold asap. No outside ebay back door deals. Bid on it here, buy it here.
This car is available to look at in the Wilkes-Barre Scranton area. It is currently at my mechanic's parking lot. Please contact me for details. This is my girlfriends car and I'm selling it for her. The car could use a good detailing inside, but all in all is a good buy. She took care of it and put a ton of money in it to make it run reliably. NOTE: This is a manual transmission. If you were looking for an automatic only, this is not the car for you. The clutch functions perfect, and frankly is really easy to drive. Sorry the pics aren't the best. The parking lot was crowded and it was pouring rain when I took them. If you need to see something specific, let me know and I will try to accommodate. It's a little 4 cylinder, and gets great mileage. Contact me if you have any specific questions or if you want to arrange to take a look at it. Inspection reads 3/15 5709542066 |

Ford builds Lightweight Concept with Fusion shell [w/video]
Wed, 04 Jun 2014It's a fairly well known fact that removing weight from a car is essentially a panacea for many of the modern automobiles problems. Does it handle like crap? Remove weight. Underpowered? Don't add power; trim the fat. Need to improve fuel economy? It's diet time.
Actually executing a major weight reduction program, though, much like with human beings, is no easy task. Unlike you or I, where motivation is the issue, the prohibitive measure in trimming a car's waistline is money. Lightweight materials are expensive, with carbon fiber and carbon-fiber reinforced plastic still primarily in the domain of higher end vehicles. Even aluminum construction, pioneered on a mass-produced level by Audi and Jaguar, is only now starting to make its way into the mainstream, thanks to the upcoming Ford F-150.
With this concept, though, Ford is attempting to show that a mass-produced, lightweight vehicle isn't too far off. This is the Lightweight Concept, and while it may look like a Fusion, it weighs as much as a Fiesta. For reference, the lightest Fusion available to the public is the 3,323-pound, 2.5-liter model with a manual transmission. A manually equipped, 1.6-liter Fiesta, meanwhile, is just 2,537 pounds.
Detroit automakers mulling helping DIA avoid bankruptcy looting
Tue, 13 May 2014It's not really a secret that the city of Detroit is in lots and lots of trouble. Even with an emergency manager working to guide it through bankruptcy, a number of the city's institutions remain in very serious danger. One of the most notable is the Detroit Institute of Arts, a 658,000-square-foot behemoth of art that counts works from Van Gogh, Picasso, Gauguin and Rembrandt (not to mention a version of Rodin's iconic "The Thinker," shown above) as part of its permanent collection.
Throughout the bankruptcy, the DIA has been under threat, with art enthusiasts, historians and fans of the museum concerned that its expansive collection - valued between $454 and $867 million by Christie's - could be sold by the city to help square its $18.5-billion debt.
Now, though, Detroit's hometown automakers could be set to step up and help save the renowned museum. According to a report from The Detroit News, the charitable arms of General Motors, Ford and Chrysler could be set to donate $25 million as part of a DIA-initiated campaign, called the "grand bargain." As part of the deal, the DIA would seek $100 million in corporate donations as part of a larger attempt at putting together an $816-million package that would be paid to city pension funds over 20 years. Such a move would protect the city's art collection from being sold off.
