YOU ARE BIDDING ON A VEHICLE IN USED/POOR CONDITION.  IT IS A 2000 FORD CONTOUR SE 4 DOOR SEDAN 4CYL AUTOMATIC. IT HAS 210,592 MILES. 


RECENTLY HAD SPARK PLUGS CHANGED, PUT 2 TIRES ON FRONT(USED) BUT WITH GOOD TREAD, CHANGED AIR FILTER, AND HAD THE BREAK LIGHTS REPAIRED TO WHERE THEY WORK. THE CAR DOES RUN, BUT POORLY. IT HAS A WORKING A/C, DEFROSTER, HEATER, AND AFTER MARKET CD PLAYER.

THE BAD:
  • THE TAIL LIGHTS DON'T WORK, DON'T KNOW WHY.
  • DRIVER SIDE TAIL LIGHT LENS IS BROKEN SO IT IS COVER WITH RED REFLECTOR TAPER IN THE ARE THE IS BROKEN.
  • HAD A DIAGNOSTIC DONE ON THE CAR, CAME BACK THAT IT NEEDS A CATALYTIC CONVERTER, IT WAS BYPASSED BY PREVIOUS OWNER.
  • THE CAR HAS TROUBLE CHANGING GEARS, AS IF IT LOSES POWER, NOT SURE WHY, TIMING MAY BE OFF. AGAIN NOT A MECHANIC SO CAN'T GUARANTEE WHAT CAUSES IT EXACTLY.
  • THE INTERIOR IS DIRTY (CARPET AND SEATS), I PUT CAR SEAT COVERS OVER THEM. AGAIN CAR WAS IN POOR SHAPE WHEN I GOT IT FROM THE PREVIOUS OWNER.
  • THE HEAD RESTS ON BOTH FRONT SEATS HAVE HOLES CUT IN THE BACK OF THEM WHERE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD TV'S INSTALLED (CAR SEAT COVERS HIDE THE HOLES, CAN'T SEE THEM WITH COVERS ON)
  • THE DASH SHRANK AND ROLLED UP (VERY COMMON FOR THIS YEAR CONTOUR)
  • THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR SOME TIMES LOCKS ON ITS OWN AND WILL NOT UNLOCK, YOU WILL HAVE TO UNLOCK PASSENGER DOOR AND UNLOCK IT ON THAT DOOR BUTTON OR YOU CAN REACH OVER AND UNLOCK IT.
  • THERE ARE DENTS, DINGS, AND SCRATCHES HERE AND THERE ON THE BODY OF THE CAR
  • PREVIOUS OWNER HAD TINT ON THE BACK WINDOW AND TOOK IT OFF AND SO THE RESIDUE FROM THE TINT IS STILL ON THERE BUT SHOULD BE FAIRLY EASY TO SCRAPE  OFF 
  • THE VISOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE IS BROKEN OFF, STILL HAVE IT IN THE CAR, JUST NOT ATTACHED.
  • BATTERY IN THE CAR IS TOO BIG SO IT WILL NEED TO BE DOWNGRADED, KEEPS HOOD FROM CLOSING DOWN ALL THE WAY.

***THE A/C WORKS. THE DEFROSTER WORKS. THE HEATER WORKS. PREVIOUS OWNER PUT IN AN AFTER MARKET CD PLAYER THAT WORKS GOOD. THE VEHICLE DOES CRANK AND DRIVE.

THE CAR IS IN POOR CONDITION AND NEEDS A LOT OF TLC. I ONLY USED IT FOR A FEW WEEKS AS A POINT A TO POINT B CAR UNTIL I GOT MY CAR BACK. 


IF YOU CHOOSE TO PURCHASE THIS CAR, YOU WILL BE PURCHASING THE CAR I HAVE DESCRIBED TO YOU THE BEST I CAN. THIS IS AN AS IS SALE. I AM NOT A MECHANIC, I HAVE LISTED ALL THE PROBLEMS MECHANICALLY AND COSMETICALLY WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE THAT I KNOW OF. IF  YOU CHOOSE TO PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE, YOUR PURCHASE WILL BE FINAL AND AS IS WITH NO WARRANTY.

VEHICLE DOES HAVE A CLEAR TITLE.

2014 Ford Fiesta 1.0L EcoBoost to hit 45 mpg for $16,445*

Mon, 28 Oct 2013

When Ford first announced its plan to put the 1.0-liter EcoBoost three-cylinder engine under the hood of the 2014 Fiesta, it promised hybrid-like fuel economy without a hybrid-like premium. We're still waiting for official specs on this engine, but thanks to the EPA's fueleconomy.gov website and Ford's retail site, we now know what customers can expect in terms of both fuel economy and price.
All along, Ford has said that it expects the 1.0-liter EcoBoost to get more than 40 miles per gallon on the highway, and now the EPA backs this up with official ratings of 32 mpg in the city and 45 mpg on the highway. These numbers are an increase of two mpg city and four mpg hwy compared to the current fuel-sipping Fiesta (the 1.6 SFE), and it also beats other three-cylinder cars for highway mileage like the 2014 Mitsubishi Mirage (44 mpg highway) and 2014 Smart Fortwo (38 mpg highway); the Fiesta 1.0 EcoBoost is lower than both three-pot rivals, though, in city fuel economy with the Mitsubishi getting 37 mpg city and the Smart rated at 34 mpg city. This model handily beats high-volume small cars like the Honda Fit, Toyota Yaris and Chevy Spark in both city and highway numbers.
As for pricing, the 1.0-liter EcoBoost is offered on both the sedan and hatchback as a $995 option called the SE Manual EcoBoost package, which is aptly named since it's only offered on SE trim-level Fiestas equipped with a manual transmission. Along with the engine, the package also comes with 15-inch steel wheels, regenerative brakes and a decklid spoiler on the sedan. This means the four-door Fiesta 1.0 EcoBoost will start at $16,445*, or $17,045* for the hatchback (*not including $795 for destination).

Car and Driver 10Best list cracked by Tesla Model S, BMW 3 Series left off

Fri, Nov 21 2014

Car and Driver is keeping new blood pumping into its annual 10Best cars list with three new entries making it on for 2015 and a perennial favorite falling off. Among the biggest shocks this year is that the BMW 3 Series and 4 Series are no longer named, despite years of some portion of that lineup earning a mention. In another surprise, the Tesla Model S (specifically in S 60 trim to fit under the $80,000 cost cap) makes it to the 2015 roster and is the only electrically motivated member of the group. Despite the loss of the 3 Series, BMW isn't entirely shut out this year, because the M235i gets its name on the list. Car and Driver argues that the little coupe feels like a welcome throwback to the E46 chassis M3 of the early 2000s. In addition to the Model S, the final newbie to the annual group is the 2015 Ford Mustang GT. The inclusion of these new members knocks the Audi A6/A7 family and Ford Fiesta ST out from the 2014 rundown. The other seven models carry over from last year, including the Cadillac CTS, Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, Honda Accord, Mazda3, Mazda6, Porsche Boxster/Cayman and Volkswagen Golf/GTI. The 2015 10Best cars list certainly seems to have something for everyone from the hot hatch fan to the family man and even the green car driver, thanks to the addition of the Tesla. Head over to Car and Driver to read its detailed explanations for each vehicle's inclusion, but if you've got a difference of opinion or just really like the list, let us know in Comments.
