I would offer you my 98 Red Contour SE w/o leather for $4k and you could swap out your leather interior, buy the GB 98+ Body kit for $650, Bnoon 3.0L engine swap for $950 and have a better SVT for $5600.

I know, not what you wanted to hear.

Sold 1998 Contour LX 13.868 sec 1/4 mile time. Two years of rental cars, seriously. Holding out for 07 Cobra Mustang.
