Fun Cougar

I bought my car two months ago and have had now problems until now. For some reason the car is not getting oil pressure and it is not the oil pump and I was told that it could cost over $1000 just to have it looked at. This is the only problem i have had with my car other than the odometer not working all the time. Also some times the gauges and other electrical systems will fail, like the back up lights. other than these problems the car is great. This is an awesome car and would be great with out these problems! Just make sure that you have it checked out be a good reliable mechanic before you buy it.

Head gaskets blew on me at about 100K miles. It kind of went down hill from there w/ one minor thing after another. If you have one w/ considerable miles on it and have had no major problems yet, sell now b/c they are coming. You might end up spending more money to fix it than you can get for it.

Great Car Shame on Ford for Replacing it

1990 Mercury Cougar LS 2dr Coupe

This car is very reliable, practical, comfortable, and has decent power. It's perfect for what it used for. It's in Bergundy, but we would have had a Blue one, if my wife's Toyota Corolla didn't fail us on our wedding day. The problem was too big to want me to keep the car being a mechanic, so we went to our dealer and bought this one. Usual wear has caused the power windows and AC to require replacing when the car was 11 and 13 years old. The only problem that was a bit premature was the odomoter went out at about 500 miles, but it wasn't a big problem.

Purchased new from dealer in June 1974 and driven ever since. This vehicle is all original never wrecked and has no rust it drives just as good today as it did the day I purchased it, it only has 94,000 original miles. Very reasonable to operate and maintain all original insides and outside paint. I will never sell this vehicle again, I sold it once and after one year I bought it back from the same person that I sold it to. I have never regretted buying this vehicle back it is truley one of akind.

1991 Cougar lives on

I love my antique 31 year old “1991” Mercury Cougar!! I live in Philadelphia so had rust repaired and repainted three times in the life span,(so far), of this very reliable car! It’s amazing how much this car holds.I have used it to move things many times. It’s deceiving looking with the amount of space it has. It’s like that of a stunt clown car. Watching what comes out in one car load. I love the way it looks ,the way it drives. Can’t say enough good about it!! Would like to restore the whole car and make it new again. Engine is great!! Shame they don’t make cars like this anymore.
