'99 Contour LX

I'm considering purchasing a '99 with 109k miles that just came up from Florida. I don't know anything about the Contours and the 2L drivetrain package, but at $2300 it's almost impossible to turn down the deal. Are these reliable vehicles and what kind of longevity can I expect? The vehicle is very clean, has been driven by elderly folks, and the individual selling the car is the son of the previous owner and I believe that he is totally honest.
All input will be greatly appreciated!!!!!

sounds like a great deal.

zetecs are very reliable motors. They will last 220k+ easy. Of course theres common problems but what car doesn't?
