That's just it. It is a hell of a deal. The contour is imo the best deal out there. Even the VW guys have said many times that you cannot get better performance/fun for the dollar than a Contour SVT. A car is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it, and unfortunately the general public tends to stick with what the magazines and appraisers say. Don't hate your contour because of its value as it has nothing to do with what kbb says. Hate your contour if it is a pos. If you didn't research what these magazines and appraisers said about resale value before you bought, then you must blame yourself.

I for one knew about the bad resale value and bought the car anyway because it outright kicks ass!
