Bought new, Jan 96, $19,900. It's "loaded," except for leather, but I probably still paid a bit too much.
Function before fashion.

Bought my 1999 Contour LX ATX Zetec in June 2000 with 19K miles for $9800. It was a pretty good used car buy in my opinion. It will be gone by the end of the week though.

I bought my 98Se with 29K for $6500 in 2002. Then I bought my 98 SVT for very little this past fall and had to sell it this spring. The Se just rolled 101K and the SVT was almost upto 190K when I sold it!

I purchased my SVT Contour brand new back on May 27th, 1997 with a build date of 4/2x/97. I traded in my 10 year old VW Scirocco 16V, which was purchased the same weekend, 10 years prior (it was purely coincidental). It is number 507 of all the SVT's built. I still have the original window sticker and all of the associated paperwork to go with it. The sticker was 23,xxx, which is what I paid to have the first SVT in my area. I went to four dealerships to find it, and it was at the fourth, of course!

Paid $14,000 for my 96SE with most of the bells and whistles in February of '97 and 21K on the clock. I get sick every time I think of how much I've spent on it in the last few years. Water pump, wheel bearing, tranny, ball joints, tie rod end, springs and struts, not to mention numerous CEL's. At the shop again as I write this. Must be nuts though, 'cause I love driving the car almost more than my Mazda.

I bought mine used in April of 2004 with 72K on it. The guy was asking for $6250 but I got him down to $5000 because he was desperate.

I bought mine used with 9373 miles on the clock for $17.5K, a few days before 9/11. I'd been drooling over the SVTC since reading the April '99 Car and Driver with its sport sedan comparo. I've now driven it longer than any other car I've owned, been loving it but hopefully my next car will have a blue and white propeller...  --T.J.
