Here is an article (large) about the Contour in a South Jersey newspaper insert. It has been about 3 years since they stopped making it, yet there are still articles about it!

"This is particularly true with the Contour SVT, although locating one of these low-volume pocket rockets.... extensive search"

I found a '99 CSVT about an hour away from my house for sale! It is at a car dealership. So, I am thinking about getting rid of my '96 SE if I can get a good deal on that SVT. It is green. How much you think i would pay for it at the dealership? Anyone live in NC and looking for a contour. It is a '96 SE V6 five-speed.

Yet I turn up a bunch every time I look..

And from a seller's perspective, can I tell you there is ZERO interest in these cars. Zip, nada, not even worth calling. I'm willing to bet it's easier to sell a '98 Escort than a '98 Contour..

That'll teach you for wanting to sell it.
