The Ford Contour: before you buy
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no Ford Contour for sale by us right now. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. The Ford Contour for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.
What to check on the Contour
Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.
The numbers in plain words
No fuel-use rating is published for this model year, so we leave those figures out.
How big it is
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway.
Best uses
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits commuters, couples and business trips.
Try before you buy
Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. A test week in the Contour tells you more than any review. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.
Money matters
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Year and trim
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. The years table on this page shows where the Contour changed.
One more step
Rent it for a week, then decide: send a request with your dates.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a Ford Contour from us first.
Ask us about the Ford Contour
Tell us your budget and when you want to buy; we look for a Ford Contour for you and reply within one business day.
Buying the Ford Contour
Does CarmaCars sell the Ford Contour?
Not right now. CarmaCars rents cars; it sells one only now and then. Tell us what you want and we look for one, or rent one for a week first.
Can I rent a Ford Contour before I buy one?
Yes. Request it for a week (or longer, up to 365 days) and drive it as your own; nothing is charged until we confirm and you approve.
Where do the figures come from?
Fuel use and fuel cost from the US EPA (fueleconomy.gov), dimensions and weight from NHTSA vPIC Canadian specifications, recalls and complaints from NHTSA. We leave out any figure no free source publishes.
