Mercury Cougar

This was my first car and I love it. However I am currently selling in because I bought a newer car with less miles. The cougar was my first love, the 4.6l engine provided enough power to smoke the tires. I loved driving it in the wet weather. As far as the Comfort of the vehicle goes, this is unmistakably the most comfortable car i have ever driven. I once feel asleep in the Drivers seat for 7 hours and woke up nice and refreshed. The most surprising thing about the car is the craftsmanship this car is so solid when I put 2 12inch subs in the back the hardly made any vibration noise from the subs.

I like the ride, and the handling. Over all good performance. Lots of aftermarket add on parts that will work on this car from the Mustang. Better to insure then a Mustang.

It is a classic muscle car of the late sixties. It has style and performance chrome and body lines that the cars of today do not have.

Great car, perfectly restored. I have owned a similar car like this 1970 Cougar back in 1981. This car is like new. I love it.

It was the last of the rear wheel drive independantly sprung sport coupes from Ford. I've always liked the styling of the car and the 4.6 liter V8 moves it nicely down the road. It is a fun daily driver for me. Overall I'm very pleased with the vehicle

The car was in the shape as described by the seller besides a couple of surprises that really would not affected my purchase. I am pleased with the purchase and hope to resore this car to a show finish.

This vechile was sold to us by a dishonest seller,transmission bad,torque bad,belts dryrotted,never had fluid levels changed,which caused the current situation.Crome on side was bent out where it can easily cut someone.Door on driver side hard to open,passenger side cannot open only threw the driver side.This car has a whole lot of problems.Seller sold to us and in listing said excellent inside and out.And then seller lied said we were happy with the car,yeah right.The undercarriage was dragging.We thought this seller was a dealer trying to get passed a bad car on ebay.Ebay motors refunded our money on the car.This car is ready for the junk yard.There is nothing good about this car.I would say buyer beware.

Had a 1991 Mercury Cougar in High School and this was basically a nostalgia purchase. I'm not going to drive it regularly. I'm just going to fix it up. That said, anyone considering this generation of Cougar or Thunderbird would be well advised to get the 5.0 V8. It's a very solid engine and frankly more reliable than the 4.6 that replaced it in 1994. (I have a 2008 Mustang GT as my daily driver. The 4.6 in it is flawless but early 4.6s had some issues.) The 3.8 V6 isn't bad it's just anemic and this is a really heavy car. Get an XR7 if possible. They came with a lot more standard equiment. Most notably antilock brakes. These cars will last just about forever if properly maintained. I bought mine in San Diego and drove it to Charleston without any issues. Thank God the A/C worked. The only issue with mine is that the fog lights don't work. Haven't diagnosed it yet, but I think both bulbs are burned out. Anyway, the rear drive midsize non-luxury branded coupe is a dead breed now and I think the 90's cougars and t-birds are among the best examples especially when equipped with the V8. Cougars in particular had some obscure equipment available including: air conditioned glove box (standard on XR7), auto dimming mirror (common now, rare 20 years ago), auto dimming high beams, auto ride control (XR7 only) and JBL stereo with cassette and CD (nothing special by modern standards, but world class at the time). Be careful if you buy one with a sunroof as the weather stripping frequently gave out after about 10 years. Also common rust spots include the lower part of the door skins and the rocker panels. The weather stripping around the back window tended to shrink and expose the edge of the glass although weirdly none I've ever seen with this issue actually leaked. The power antennas tended to crap out around 90k and are INCREDIBLY difficult to get to to repair. The transmissions were spotty if not looked after carefully (especially 94's and 95's. To check it, floor it from a stop and let off the gas suddenly around 35. If the entire car jerks hard shifting into second, you got a bad one.) Don't buy one with cracked rear side windows. This peice of glass can run over $1000 if you have a model with the factory copper tint. Those are the major things to look for but I bought mine with 180k on the clock and drove it across the country so as you can see I'm confident in them.
