Today, I went to the Ford dealer where my contour was being worked on, the salesman worked a deal where I didn't have to cover the repair bill and got $4000 for my 99 SE Sport mtx with 67k. I got a 2002 Focus ZX3 with 23k, an extended Ford warranty to 60k, and free dealer services for two years. The ZX3 is pitch black with the zetec/mtx75 combo, and it drives quite nicely. It's a gorgeous little car, and I'm pretty happy with it. It's a nice, basic car, and I have fewer worries, as things on my contour were starting to go. The tranny was due for a rebuild, the alternator had gone, and the windshield and front end weren't quite right. It was a great car, and I'll miss it, but frankly, I think I'm better off now.

ahaha you got ass [censored], they are gonna turn and sell that car for 8000k to 8500, the work they would have to do is nothing compared to how much they would have charged you! They can do all the work for like $1000 bucks easy, (most likely) then turn a huge profit, you got [censored] man. sorry to say.



Have you checked the resale value on Contours lately? $8000, not a chance! The guy makes a big move and you try to make him feel bad about it. Shut up!
Ian, good luck with your new car!



I have seen, people recently sell their 99 se sports, go for 6500 in the paper, and the dealer at that will sell it for way more. I am just saying they screwed you. And its true. Any dealer ship would be selling it for near that price. an auto, no, but manuals are few and far between and they jack you for them.
