and you'll be real lucky if you get one for 3500, not to discourage you, but you'd prob be able to find an SE that price range.
you also have to keep in mind, maybe it was selling for 3500 for a reason - accident, high miles, bad shape, etc etc.. hopefully you can work on cars to save money cause you'll most likely have to change out water pump, thermo, etc the usual quirks.
$3500 is doable for any Contour. The issue is that it is the difference between a really nice SE and a (usually) fairly beat up SVT. If on a budget, I'd stick to the SE V6 ... insurance is cheaper, gas is cheaper (87 versus premium), and certain parts are more easily found and can be cheaper too.
But the luxury of having a fully-loaded car ... so many little things the SVT has that mine doesn't (intermittent wipers, fog lights, leather, sunroof, rear split folding seats, etc. ... all except sunroof were standard on the SVT) ... I think 98+ SE V6 MTX Contours with all these options are more rare and hard to find than SVTs in themselves!
