Back in the day, there was an end-of-year sale (March 2000) at OC Welch Ford in South Carolina. They had six cars left under the sales tent. Me and mum figured out monthly payments and snapped up a white '99 Contour Sport with 61 miles on the odometer and a blue '99 Mystique GS with 4 miles on the odometer. I really wanted the white '99 Cougar V6 there, but I didn't know how to drive a manual at the time. We eventually traded the cars in on a massive lot sale at the local Kia dealer for a 2003 Optima and Sedona. The Mystique had about 30K and the Contour around 41K. They got more for the Mystique when it sold because it wasn't in any fenderbenders.
I still find it odd to this day that we found a set of NEW '99s in MY 2000.
