I think my tranny is fried, worked OK last week, but today I have no reverse, no OD, and it acts weird. 
Looking on trader for another Styque right now.

It's ok, I'm going to test drive a couple tomorrow.
Quick Q, did styque's come in MT? I always thought they were AT only.

Well, if my owner's manual is any indication, they do come in manual, though I'll be damned if I recall a time when I ever saw one in a styque.

I have a V6 MTX Mystique. I've never seen another, although I believe there are others on the forums with some.

I have seen plenty of MTX Mystiques and used to have one before it was written off. FWIW the MTX was a 4 cyl and very very good on gas.

Ah, I thought all MTX Stiques were private conversions ( saw a total of 2 so far).
I looked at one today, but considering the price and the general condition of the car, it was not worth it.
The other one I looked at was ATX, but it was a Zetec. I prefer the Duratec , really, so I guess I have to keep looking.
Wish I didn't have a Stique before, the reason I am limiting myself to stiques is because I have my new headlights.

The lights for a Contour are like $60 or something from the dealer right now --I wouldn't limit myself because of that. You could E-Bay your Mystique lights (or sell them on the classifieds here) and come out ahead, or only be down a little bit.
Edit: My error, they are $98 a piece at Campbell Ford here in Ottawa. http://www.contour.org/ceg-vb/showthread.php?t=18873

What I meant, I don't want to lose the money I put into the Styque headlights...
You don't necessarily have to. Unless you have spent a bunch of money doing projectors, et al. If they are unused, or even slightly used factory lights, you can likely sell them for not too bad of a loss.

It's all ok anyways.
I just picked up a '98 styque, so the headlights will fit.
I am so happy to be back driving a contique... The hyundai I was renting just wasn't cutting it.

I had one last year as a rental, it wasn't to bad. I beat the hell out of it and it didn't flinch. :shrug:
I almost bought a Tiburon before I went to college, but the money situation didn't line up like I hoped it would.
Meh, I'm glad I waited. I'm in love with my SVT :drool:
