I bought my 98 LX new in august of 99. It was an unsold 98 with 87 miles on the clock. There were actually two identically optioned contours. One was silver with the grey interior and the red with grey that I bought. The car has the V6 with mtx and is all manual (door locks, windows, seats) probably the reason that it took so long to sell. It is my first new car purchase. I hope to have it on the road for a long time to come. It has 59k on the clock and has been reliable (except for the waterpump going out while at an SVTOA on track event with 37k.
