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.

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

In Jan 08 I had my car to the garage because the power steering went out. The Power steering assist light came on. After putting it on the computer it was found (I'm quoting my bill now) "codes U1859 and C1898 was not on demand Did Pin Point. Found imtermitten concern. Replaced variable assit...

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...

I bought my 97 Conti with only about 47,000 miles on it. I now have 55,000 miles on it. 2 months ago I had to have the celanoid ( I think that what they called it) replaced for my power steering. The Power Steering Assist light came on and would not go off and I could hardly steer the car...

Steve just returned my call from Magna Donnally yesterday! I told him that some of the people on here were having problems reaching him. He said to please leave a detail message ie Name, phone number, year and make of car, and the problem you're having. He WILL return the call as soon as...

My 1997 conti did not come with any CD player. I wanted to get one with a 6 CD changer and a factory head unit. My car dealer got the changer and dash unit just like the original one would have looked like had it had one but the speakers don't hook up or something like that. Everything runs...

I'm thinking of having my windows darkened. What is the best method and does it really hold up? I live in PA and since I don't have a garage my car is out in all kinds of weather.

Where is everybody? You can't all be on vacation can you? I have been checking and there have been no new posts for a couple of days. I'm waiting to get my cd player installed in my 97 conti. I only have the "traditional" am/fm cassette player that came in the car. I am getting an actual...

Ok I saw some really neat contoured mudflaps that I think would look good on my 97 conti. but I was told by somebody that conti's never had mud flaps on them. Would I really be committing a mistake by putting them on my car? I'm always having my car washed and I hate it when dirt or mud...

I had the rear view mirror from the Donnally company installed yesterday and its perfect. All I had to do is put the defective mirror in the box the new one came in and send it back Fed Ex. (the pre-paid label was inclosed). Also when my car salesman picked up my car to take it to his lot to...

Hello, I just signed up today with this forum. About 2 months ago I purchased a 1997 conti. I love it! My rear view mirror also has the same problem that apparently a lot of others on here have. I got it touch with Magna Donnelly and they are replacing it for FREE! I guess there was a lot...
