Hey everyone!  Guess who is looking at getting another Contique? I am looking at getting a Mystique right now since they are more plentiful on the market right now. Looking spending under 5k and it will be for commuting. I am looking at these right now.... Option #1 Option #2 Option #3 I am leaning towards number 1 since it has hardly any miles and has the Zetec which will get me better MPG.

check out kslcars.com
there is a 98 contour v6 5spd...a guy named wade...wanted less than 3k for it. I know he is moving back to New Zealand soon so he may even go less. I have driven several around.

Thanks for the welcome back fellas. I am glad to see that you guys still remember who the true post whore is. I have put a lot of thought into it and I am really leaning towards a 99 Mystique with the Duratec and 5sp. I should get one today though. I will post pics when I get it.

Hotness! Whore away when you get a chance.
Remember, a manual is much more fun to drive and they CAN actually get better MPG over an auto. I've just never learned to keep my heavy right foot in check to know first hand
