I drove her off the lot back in '99. Mind its only a LX 4cylinder with power nothing but I bought it all by myself. I wish I had the $$$ to buy the SVT back then. No big problems with 77,5XX miles on it.

2nd owner, bought my 98.5 svt in 2002 with only 18,500k. The thing still had original tires, un modded, still smelled new on the inside, guy traded it in so he could buy an LS v8 with the six speed.
It came with original window sticker as well

Second owner. My sister and her husband purchased it new off the show room floor late in '97 (it's a 98MY built in 9/97). I purchased it from her earlier this year with 96K miles on the clock. Base model (not even a GL) V6 ATX T.Red exterior/Prairie Tan interior. And a CEL I haven't checked out yet

Oh dang, you beat me. Ours had 12 miles when we drove it off the lot. But a couple of those was our test drive. I remember my wife chirped the tires and was sold on the V6. Still have the window sticker.
We've had no major problems, engine is still strong etc., but a lot of smaller things have been going wrong the past couple of years. It's been a bit annoying, but we love the car. These problems have sparked my interest in learning more about it and upkeeping it, etc.
We did actually own 2 black Contours at once. We had our '98 bought new, and I needed a commuter car. The dealer that sold us the '98 said we just got this one in on a trade and handed us the keys. We walked out and just laughed at a '96 Black Contour. It was a Sport with the Zetec and I drove that for several years. Finally traded it in on our van.
I still miss that driver's seat though.

Original owner, car built 12/98 and delivered to dealer all of 30 miles from the factory.
I'll probably also be the ONLY owner, when I'm done with it, it will be ready for the junkyard. Already almost at the 200K mark.
