The Ford Contour for buyers
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the Ford Contour for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Thinking about the Ford Contour? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.
A buyer's checks
Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. 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.
Specs, explained
No fuel-use rating is published for this model year, so we leave those figures out.
Inside and out
As a compact car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight.
Who the Contour suits
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent the Contour first, and buy only if it fits your life. Rent the Contour for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Drive the Contour on your commute before you commit to it.
Money matters
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
Narrowing it down
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. The years table on this page shows where the Contour changed. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.

Tell us the car you are considering, and we will help where we can.
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.
