Looking for a 2000 or 2001. Took one out last night which was a pretty good deal. To be honest, a lot of them are really wrecked up. People don't seem to take care of them. Even the 2003's have curbed rims, dents etc. I guess it's one of those things that i want the new car to at least be in the condition of the old one.
The problem is, it's pretty pointless to trade in an CSVT since dealers only consider them Contours, not SVTs. (Direct quote - The CSVT is just a regular contour with extra stuff and a little more power :P ). Then he proceeded to tell me that the CSVT was comparible to a Caviler Z24. (had a chuckle at that.) How any J body can be compared to a Contour i'm not sure.
I wonder if they would say a SVT Cobra is just a Mustang with a gussied up engine as well. Meanwhile they'd turn around and sell it for $11000.
