Ahh...sorry - I left that out. *smacks head*
The highest I *think* I can go is about $12,000 and that may be pushing it. I just don't want a 4 cylinder engine. They are way to slow, and most don't have good acceleration.
I was looking at the Chevy Malibu's BUT I haven't heard a lot of good things about those cars. I was also looking at the Monte Carlos

or Impalas.
I would still consider another Contour if I could find a nice one. I've seen a few in papers from Dealerships, so I may give them another look.
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance
