look for old brochures on ebay..I saw a few yesterday. The SE model changed in 98 and screwed up the whole "easy to recognize" look of the pre 98's. The pre 98 was a given...alloy wheels..V6, rear spoiler and power accessories. I couldnt believe how crappy they made post 98 SE's ..hubcaps and 4 bangers standard. Yea they had the SVT..but for lower models it was a laugh trying to keep things straight



exactly... everyone ran around screaming 4 banger! but it was fully loaded except for traction control, and alloy wheels...

6cyl, auto, abs, pwr lock/win etc



I got one of the "tweeners". 1999 SE according to the build sheet, and vin decoder, and other thingies, but the Ford web site tells me I have an LX. I don't care, the springs are nice & firm, she handles well, & is lots of fun.

Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.
