Alias, you'd be best off staying with the Contour. It's paid off, I'm assuming? Any repairs are going to be less than another car, and you're familiar with it. Why buy someone else's problems, to find out that they were more of a headache than your Contour? Every post of yours says how you can't afford this or that, so why give yourself a car payment on a car that will need repairs on top of that? Start saving your pennies to replace the clutch if it's necessary. As for the suspension, roll that sh!t into the ground! I've driven dozens of cars with 150k mile suspensions, and none of them have caused me to crash, burn, flip, slide, or skid.
