1999 Ford Contour 4cyl automatic 125k miles

1999 Ford Contour Description

Here is a 1999 Ford Contour that could be a decent project for someone or just picked for parts.The engine runs great, but there is a problem with the trans. (only has rev, 2nd, & 4th gear), but it will still run and drive. I drove it like this for about a month, but I live in a hilly area and not having 1st gear was killing me and anyone else behind me! It does need some love to be 100% road ready.What I know it definitely needs..........
Trans repair or replacement.....Found one on ebay for $250 including shippingSerpentine belt & tensioner......I have a new belt that will be includedat least 2 tires, but I would recommend 4front brake pads and rotors......brake pulsation
Other notable items.......It does not have a stereo or speakers installeda/c works great, but leaks and has to be recharged each summer
It's definitely still in decent shape with NO sub-frame rot. It could be a cheap fixer upper for a new teen driver to learn in. Interior is in ok condition. I removed all the door panels to get my speakers out and have them sitting in the back seat.
Please do not hesitate to ask questions! I will give you honest answers as I don't want anyone to be mislead. The car is certainly priced accordingly.
