I always knew this day would come...I just didn't think it would be quite so soon. I had planned on driving the 'Tour through the end of summer, and replacing it when it started to get cold. I am graduating from college at the end of this month, and secured a full-time position that I am already working. As a 'reward' to myself, I decided to replace the Contour (which is running perfect after 107,000 some odd miles) with this:

A 2002 Jag X-Type!

Found it last Saturday while looking at a few Ford dealerships in the area, bought it from the same guy I bought the Contour from actually.

For an X-Type, it's middle of the road - dual power seats, automatic climatic control, autochromatic mirror, dual LED displays for climate and sound control, premium 10 speaker Alpine system w/ sub. Basically the only thing it doesn't have that I wish it did was the dual heated seats. Anyway, let me know what ya think...more pics below...I know quality isn't that good, will try to get some better ones later.

Hmm, looks like the images may not be embedded as they should be...could never figure that out for sure...anyway, click these links:

Thats a very nice car to replace a contour. Personally, the XK has me going , unfortunately its very expensive and seems under powered. For a V8 at 300 HP, that is definately not enough, but hey what is.

I'll give you props, a worthy Contour replacer.
