Ironically, I had alot of dealers that said, "I'm not going to insult you by telling you how much I'll offer for your car".

** LittleFishie, PM me about the car, maybe we can work something out.

I'm not dying to sell the car, so if I don't sell the car, I'll probably just end up driving it until the wheels fall off. It's sad that my $23K performance sedan will become my beater. frown

But this really opened up my eyes. If a dealer is looking for a Mustang, they're going to go with the 5-spd, and pass on the automatic. But because the Contour is considered a grocery getter, the 5-spd is the mark of death. Makes me wonder how the resale on IS300 5-speeds will be in a few years.. Right now, they command a $2000 premium over an identical ATX.
