take the 96. It will last longe rconsidering old people don't normally abuse cars. Also you will have 70k more miles before it catches up to your car.
12k x 6 years equals 72k. In 6 years and less you will have that car to drive. Take that car. Place your contour under theft and fire warranty and keep it for a extra vehicle. Fire and theft is 50.00 and less. That is what i would do.
