My mother wanted him to buy something w/ a v6 and leather (like my car). <br>We Found lease on new 2001 CIVICs for 199 a month.<br>We found found Intrepids for 400 a month.<br><br>We went to ParkField Ford in Chicago, IL. WE found a BLACK 99 Contour Sport, 18k, v6, leather, sunroof, power everything, remote keyless. And we all got what we wanted. My dad monthly payment is 201.99 a month! for &gt;4&lt; years on a 99 Contor wiht 3000 down. The price we got it for 10,600 + 700 for 60k mile warranty.<br><br>Peace.

Congrats on your new car....its one awsome piece of machinery. <br><br><br><br>I will give you the same advice as everyone else...the best bet is www.contour.org. If you go to the branch link, you can find a CEG group in IL. and maybe meet up with other people who own these beautiful cars.
