    Cost of Conti

    Does anyone here know what a 1997 conti sold for new? Mine doesn't have the center console with the cd player and it has no sun roof and the rear view mirror only has the directions on it. I was just curious what it cost new.

    Break Problem

    The garage where I purchased the master cylinder found a crack in the ABS valve. He was able to get just the valve from a junk car dealer and the cost is only going to be $54.00 to fix it. Much better than the $1400 for a whole new unit. I sure hope this takes care of the problem.

    Break Problem

    I have a 97conti. In November I was pulling into a parking space at a mall and I had no breaks. I bumped a Hummer. No damage to either car but scared the heck out of me. I had the car towed and a new master cylinder was put in and he bled the system. Yesterday the exact same thing happened...

    New Tires

    I need to purchase 4 new tires for my 97 conti. I live in PA and although we haven't had an excessive amount of snow the last several years, I HATE driving in any amount of snow anymore than absolutly necessary. I want a very good tire though that I can depend on in snow and rain. I have...

    No Brakes!!

    I was pulling into a handicapped parking space today at the grocery store and when I tried to stop my brake peddle went the whole way to the floor and the brakes wouldn't work. Thank God I wasn't going fast and the car in front of me was a Hummer! No damage done but could have been really...

    Low Coolant Sensor

    A couple of times now my Low Coolant light comes on and yet when I have it checked (at Firestone) they tell me its full. When I reset the light it goes off and stays off for a week or more. They said it could be the sensor but there is no way to check to see if the sensor is working. Which I...

    "Check Engine Light"

    My check engine light came on about 1 week ago. I had an appointment today to have it checked on the computer and yesterday the light went off. I called the garage and they said as long as I don't have any problems with the car (and I don't) that it would be a waste of money to put it on the...

    Back up camera

    I bought it on-line from etronics.com Its a Vialta VCBCS300 VR3 Color Back-Up System. Price $79.64 plus shipping. Its a good clear picture unless its really sunny and then its hard to see. Like I said the objects (cars or whatever) appear a lot further back than they actually are but I...

    Back up camera

    I got my back up camera installed yesterday. The camera is on the license plate and the monitor I had put on the left side of the dash. Its wired directly into the car so I can have it turned on all the time even when I'm moving forward. The only problem I see is that objects appear much...

    A New PROBLEM !

    ok maybe I'm getting screwed! The dealer just called and said it is the altenater. $537.00 + tax. Of course I have to get it fixed since its there and I certainly can't drive it anywhere else. I did call Firestone and their price would have been $80.00 less and it would have been new parts...

    A New PROBLEM !

    Last night while driving my air conditioner stopped working. Then my lights all started flashing on my dashboard and the car stopped. It wouldn't even turn over so I had it jumped and then it started only to stop as soon as the cable were taken off. So it was towed to the dealer. I'm...

    Backup camera for 97 Conti

    Thanks for the suggestions. I found one online from etronics. Its made by Vialta. I liked it because it can be wired directly to the car and I don't have to have a wire hanging down to the cigarette lighter. It was only $79.00 and I have somebody that will install it for $100.00.

    Backup camera for 97 Conti

    I use my side mirrors all the time but they don't show what's directly in back of my car. I use the handicapped parking spaces and they always have one of those yellow posts. I can never tell how close the back end of the car is to the post so I thought a camera would help.

    Backup camera for 97 Conti

    I have a 1997 Conti. I have always been very good at backing up and parking but I have found with this car I can't see any part of my car out of the back window. All that is visible is the back dashboard. It makes it difficult to back into a parking space that has one of those yellow posts at...
