its good to know it wasnt anything serious. to give you my honest opinion... i wouldnt buy a SE.. save up and get something better. a svt would be cool. be open to other options. there are a lot nicer cars out there than a contour.

99 svt contour
-its fast. period.
91 mustang gt
-its faster. period.
86 Buick Grand National
- its way faster, double period!
