Recordable CDs in 2007 Mercury Milans
by kymmie36 on Mon Nov 10 16:29:44 PST 2008
Hello, I just purchased a 2007 Mercury Milan. My 2002 Cougar had problems with home recorded cds, even without the paper wrapping that tends to get stuck in CD players. I had to get my stereo replaced due to stuck CDs. Does anyone know if this is a problem on the 6 CD changers of milans? Thanks!

Actually, for its class, that '76-77 era Cutlass was probably the best car there was! Chrysler was having problems with Lean Burn and haphazard workmanship on its Charger S/E and Cordoba, and the old Torino Elite and '77-79 T-birds and Cougar XR-7's were nothing to write home about. Troublesome carburetors, grossly underpowered engines, etc. Even among its GM peers, the Cutlass Supreme was probably the best. The Monte Carlo's 305, 350, and 400 smallblock were kinda junky compared to the Olds 350/403. The Grand Prix 350/400 were okay, but didn't take well to emissions controls, which could make them cranky, and let's not bring up the Pontiac 301! I think the Regal from that era was decent, but I just prefer the Cutlass, and judging from sales, most buyers back then did, too. That '91-96 era Park Ave was one of GM's better efforts from that timeframe. I remember C&D or MT giving it good press when it first came out. The tagline was "America fights back...with a BUICK?!" They liked the car overall, and said its styling was faintly Jaguaresque. The 70's is a decade that was generally reviled, but I think GM actually made some of the better cars of that timeframe. Now sure, a Vega or Chevette was crap, but so was a Rabbit, Accord, or Corolla back then. They weren't crap compared to a Chevette or Vega, but in the overall scheme ofthings, they were still crap! :P I'll admit that I do have a preference for some Mopars of that era. For instance, I'd tend to prefer the Dart/Valiant to the Nova, and I'd prefer something like a '79 Newport to a '79 LeSabre. I think Chrysler did compacts a bit better than GM back then, although when the Aspen/Volare came out it leveled the playing field somewhat. :blush: And with a LeSabre versus Newport, it's not that I think the Newport is a superior car, but just feels more comfortable and fits me better. With smaller engines, the Newport would probably be better. Slant six versus the Buick 231, or a 318 versus a Pontiac 301, I'd give the nod to Mopar. But with bigger engines, the field got leveled. The Mopar 360 was a good engine, but so was the Buick 350. The Olds 403 was still around in 1979, but I don't know if you could still get it in a LeSabre. It might have been Electra-only by then. The Newport also gave you some nice little details like extra gauges standard (temp, amps, oil pressure). I don't think extra gauges were even offered on the LeSabre, although they were on the Delta, Catalina/Bonneville, and Chevies. Oh, and windows that rolled down about 3/4 of the way in back, versus about half-way for the LeSabre. :P The LeSabre had better fit and finish, and was less likely to have trim parts fall off, but the Newport was more solid underneath, being based on the '71-79 intermediates rather than a whole new lightweight design, so the Newport would probably win in a demolition derby, if that's a priority for you.

I was born before the era that the pony cars came out and got to watch them grow into more than just cars from the three big companys. The Camero Mustang, Cuda, cougar,challenger, dart, Comet have made the Muscle car era a part of history that we all can look back on with a smile and a tear. These cars will never be duplicated and I don't think that would the big three are trying to do now, They are trying to give you youngers a part of what we old guys have had for 44 years (19641/2 to 2008) bragging right over the imports of todays, and muscle heads of tomorrow.

I've never known UGLY + OLD = DESIRABLE (or PRETTY, or VALAUABLE, or anything but old and ugly). I've owned a late 60s mustang and cougar and I guess that makes me a "ford guy." But I wouldn't touch that at any price. Numbers matching v-8??? Who cares, it's a Torino. And, unless I'm having a ford brain fart, it isn't a 289. After 1967, the 289 was replaced by the 302. So, it's probably a 302 (not that it makes a difference - they're both good engines, but very common.) *Wikipedia seems to indicate that it is possible a early 1968 could be a 289. By that guy's logic, a 1971 Ford Pinto is valuable because it is old. I'd actually argue a Pinto would be cooler than a torino.

Too bad that 68 wasn't one of those one year only GTEs. Super rare and fetching over $100k in excellent condition! http://www.mustangandfords.com/featuredvehicles/95438_1968_cougar_xr7_gte/index.- html http://www.theclassiccougarnetwork.com/gte/ My bud had one and let it go years back for $5000! It is in the GTE registry and is currently in SanDiego. He sure kicks himself now!
