What are you waiting for?
The warranty on these babies is only 36,000 miles, isn't it? he he...

The 2004 Marauder has dropped almost $5000 in price.
They also beefed up the transmission since many of the 2003 Marauders kinda BLEW THEM UP...

The GTO is a sleeper.
It's got the LTS-1 V8 engine and the Corvette 6 speed and rear.
Might not be the most comfortable for rear passengers, but it should offer trunk space comparable to the Contour.

The Mercedes is about the same size as the Contour, with a 215HP V6 and 6-speed MTX. It is also available as a 4 matic, but not in the SPORT model. Stickers for under $29,000 also without all of the interior toys...

I've alwasy driven RWD cars until my first Escort in 95.
Then I went to the Contour in Dec 97.
I will probably keep the Contour since it is only worth the tax money on a new car anyway.
I need something to fix and tinker with, that is paid for.
