Considering I still owe 3k on a 96 Contour with 122k miles Im trading it in tomorrow morning. Im getting a 2002 Cougar. I have always liked the car and you can buy some really cool body kits. It has v6 2.5 ltr with auto. Powere everything. I posted some pics here let me know what you think. BTW i will still be on the boards cause I plan on buying a 98 contour next year straight out for cash about 3k. 2002 Cougar 32 k miles
