I'm interested in getting one of these and have driven a 2002 and a '99. The two I drove were not exactly what I was looking for, so I'm still looking. Any suggestions on these? Do most of them have problems with the sunroofs?
Avoid it,have lots of transmission problems.It uses the Ford Contour automatic transmission which is a piece of JUNK.Most transmission shop will not touch or rebuild this transmission and Ford is picky on it.The ground wires have to be in the right spot of the drum inside the automatic transmission will melt.The drum inside is plastic.The body is a modified Contour body.
So, I drove another, an '02, and I liked it quite well. I may make a low offer, as the owners seem very eager to sell. I'm hesitating, though, based on the information that you all have posted.
So, I offered $3,600 for the'02 I saw. Owners had been asking $5,500; said price was based on KBB criteria. They countered with $4,200. That's too high for me, but I may go to $3,800. I hope I don't regret it!
