I was looking for a cheap set of wheels to replace my Grand Marquis & wanted something more 'sporty' - like my BMW. Most of the alternatives were waaaay too expensive compared to another big Merc until I drove a Contour SE locally. Found a better deal on Ebay.
Was so happy with the SE that I got another one for my daughter to drive. Grew to love my SE so much that when totalled, I replaced it with a Mystique. IMHO, it cannot be beat for the money - if maintained well.
