As for what I have found so far $69.95, to me, ain't cheap. That price is at Advance Auto. From what I have discovered is that the Contour/Mystique/FWD Cougar all use the same type battery. And, apparently, only them 3 cars use that style. The man at A/A said to measure the battery and maybe he can find me something cheap. Anybody know of any other battery that would fit in my Mystique? Meaning the battery group number. One reason for my cheapness is that this up and coming weekend I'll be going to the Ioala, WI car show and would like to find an old Ford or Merc to cruise in. Of course if the Gods are with me maybe there will be a '70's Ford Capri there . That would make my millineum. Later. Pepse. '95 Mystique LS Young America, Moonlight Blue, V-6 ATX, LOADED. REMEMBER: Always fasten your seatbelt as it makes it harder for the aliens to suck you out of your car.

I even ran it flat dead a few times when my alternators went out... Goin' Round Traffic Circles @ 50Km/h!!! \m/ -- 1998 E0 SVT #2119 of 6535 \m/ -- 2003 Sentra SE-R Spec V
