My VIN claims to be of Mexican decent, but the sticker on my back window says KC. So figure.



Look at the inside of the driver's door jamb, it will tell you.

Oddly enough, general consensus around here (based on previous debates way back in the day) is that the Mexican-built Contours are more reliable than the KC-built ones. I've had a few problems with my Mexican-built one but it's never ever left me stranded on the side of the road and I don't experience any random rattles or squeaks often complained about on here (a sign of good build quality).
