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.

2015 Ford Mustang stars in bizarrely awesome '80s aerobics video

Wed, 30 Apr 2014

For reasons we can't comprehend, here's a music video starring the all-new, 2015 Ford Mustang and a number of dancers dressed and styled in the most stereotypically 1980s way possible. The dancers then take part in a male-versus-female dance off. Again, we've no idea why it exists.
It's weird, and for the second time in two weeks, we're sat at our computer wondering, "What are we watching?" That said, it does show the new Mustang from a number of angles, and it's one of the first car-related YouTube videos we've seen that's available in a 4K, ultra-high-def stream.
Take a look below, and let us know what you think in Comments.

Ford acquires Livio to bolster connectivity biz

Thu, 26 Sep 2013

Ford Motor Company has announced the acquisition of Livio, a Ferndale, MI-based software development company best known for aftermarket in-car connectivity devices, but also as a supplier of technology for proprietary systems for automakers. Livio, co-founded by Sigal and Massimo Baldini, will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Ford Global Technologies.
"With the additional expertise Livio provides us, Ford intends to continue to lead the next generation of in-car connectivity with technology advancements that give consumers more options to access their devices on the go," said Paul Mascarenas, chief technical officer and vice president, Ford Research and Innovation, in a statement.
Ford is clearly trying to beef up its in-house tech capability around telematics and device connectivity. While the Blue Oval has been a leader in these areas with SYNC and MyFord Touch in terms of getting the systems into as many cars as possible, the execution of the applications have been criticized for glitches.

Ford posts decade-best $2.1B profit in Q1 2013

Wed, 24 Apr 2013

As predicted, Ford has reported that its first quarter of 2013 was a resounding success overall, with a pretax profit of $2.1 billion ($0.41 per share), and a net income of $1.6 billion ($0.40 per share). In fact, Ford made a pretax profit of some $2.4 billion in its home North American market, with that total number being pulled down by losses in South America and Europe. That gaudy North American profit is the strongest result by the automaker since 2000.
Ford's companywide profit for Q1 was down $147 million from one year ago, while the net income number marked an increase of $215 million year over year. Overall, this is Ford's 15th-consecutive profitable quarter.
The bad news from the European market was even worst in Q1 2013 than it was last year. Pretax losses of $462 million - on revenue of $6.7 billion - represented a year-over-year change of -$313 million. In South American, the company reported a loss of $218 million, down from a slim profit of $54 million in Q1 2012. The news was better for Ford Asia Pacific Africa, where a $6 million pretax profit in 2013 showed a year-over-year gain of some $101 million when compared to losses in 2012.
