In my opinion your post should not have been locked, however the title is misleading. A more appropriate title would have been: "Trade in Contour for '98 Mystique?"
As to whether or not you should do the trade, you should be prepared for unexpected repairs to come up with any used car. And if the price seems too good, be cautious of that as well. That said, if you've always wanted a V6/mtx, this could be a good opportunity to make the switch.
'98 GL V6/MTX (Plenty of mods... in my basement)
