My buddy went to put on his seat belt in the back seat and when he pulled out the belt a little further it had mold all over it. Do you guys think this car is a definite stay away from or what? also the air bag cover on the passenger side was not completely flush witht the dash in the corners. Weird or normal? _ _ _ _ _ ______________ _ _ _ _ _ Stopped shopping for a Contour SVT...Ordered 2002 SVT Focus. _ _ _ _ _ ______________ _ _ _ _ _

There are plenty of Contiques that are safer buys. 1999 Contour SE Sport MTX75 T-Red/Grey Audio: Pioneer DEH-7400MP (MP3 CD), Pioneer TS-A6857 front & rear, PPI PCX-250, Infinity Perfect 10.1 Other: cup holders, cargo net, Blizzaks, Potenza RE950s
