I will quote you on it anyways... and say not always... my friend nick's brother has a 99 contour with a Zetec in it and he wrapped it around a tree and they fixed the B piller and the frame too and a number of other things on it it was close to being totaled but it wasn't it's a 99 and the accident was in 2000... BTW he will be at our meet on the 3rd at my place. and you can see that the car doesn't even look like it has been in a accident.

Even if you don't have the answer, you certainly have to admire the problem.

Sorry, Hector, I didn't get to reply till now, let me think about it, I saw a few older Z's on lots.
Also, the SE-R may be in the running too, depends on what my cousin wants for it and what it needs.
But, have to see what the results of investigation are.

He he I had a feeling it was a joke. Anyway, I saw a few older Contiques for $4-5000, that I may look at if I'm totaled. My favoite would be a 1997 Mytstique I saw on wwwheels.com. Tilt wheel, old look, and nicer seats, $3600. I'd get one like that and just drive it a year, then get newer car to keep longer.
