I had a 99 Mustang GT and that car squeeked and rattled 100 times worse then the csvt. The door panel was just one giant solid plastic shell and the seats were terrible!
If you want good resale value get a Honda, the 99-00 civic si's have ridiculous resale value. With average mileage I have seen them go from $12-15k in my area, yet the car only cost $17k brand new!! An 02 Focus sold close to $20k fully equiped, and now you can get one for $14k, what does that say about there resale. Percentage wise I bet its worse then the contour!
