First time user - site is fantastic. Bought my 96 'tour for $1.00 Cdn. 178,000 km, no rust - no one wants them up here in Alberta! I was scared to buy the car at any price, hearing about reputation of 'tours, but looking over your website changed my mind. 3 questions, if I may: starter on my V6 when first starting on cold mornings sometimes doesn't engage (but does spin), but then engages on 2nd or 3rd try. Engages fine once car has been started for the day. Suggestions? Where can I find an owners manual, the kind you find in your glove box? I bought a workshop manual, but would like to find an owners manual, condition unimportant as long as complete and readable. Lastly, where can I find more details on my particular model of Contour: it's a '96 GL, but with the V6, auto trans, and disc brakes on all four corners. The color (apparently stock) is a bright slightly metallic turquois blue-green - any ideas what this color is called? Many thanks. Will Keith
