I bought my 2000 Mercury Mystique LS 24v V6 for $15,540( including tax, title, and license )off it's $19,500 MSRP; ONCE price agreement of $15,500 was reached, the automatic Ford incentive rebate of $2000 was then applied.$13,540 total.( A salesman that day was not very happy )
Car and Driver, Motor Trend along with other automotive magazines and press praised the Mystique LS along with Contours version to be a DRIVER'S car. Which was and has become a rarity amoung it's catagory. This car out performed the Honda Accord, Nissan Altima the Toyota and other so called sport sedan's that were in its class, and a few above her own rank. Over an over again i read of her true handling capabilties.
This car was, is and still considered a drivers car. You feel a connection with the pavement. No sloppiness, no guestioning the command of suspension, tread and or steering. The handling is superb. Absolutely no give in road response. NO slack in cornered sweeps, cruises right thru sharp tight bends. I love driving my car.
