I just bought my 96 contour it had 139765 when I bought it now it is 140020. If I maintain it by tune ups, fluid changes etc. How many miles can it go? What is the highest anyone has recorded for a 96 contour and is it still going? I like the car hope it lasts awhile. Thanks for input.

As long as you do you regular fluid changes and tuneups and regular repairs. It can last up to and beyond 400,000 miles, just be good to it most people just get rid of their vehicles once they hit over 100,000 miles but the car will have several hundred more to go.
