1990 Mercury Cougar

Mercury Cougar (1990)
for sale

Price: US $200.00

Description:

I have owned this car for over 15 years. It has been a fantastic car. I still drive it daily, over 150 miles a day, and have no issues with it. But it is time to move on for me, so I have to let it go.
As you can expect the car has wear, it is a daily driver after all. But truly over all the car is in good shape. It will cruise along at 75 mph all day without an issue. Gets around 22-24 mpg on the highway still. I took great care of this car. It was always garaged parked until I moved here to Chicago 2 years ago. That's when little signs of surface rust started showing up. But it is only surface rust, no real rust to speak of. There is a crack about 12 inches in length on the passenger side of the windshield. And the belt molding on the passenger side front fender is also missing now as well (It is present in the pics). Everything else is there. There is also a v shaped crack in the dash. I have a really nice Kenwood radio installed, with HD Radio, Bluetooth, and a CD player. I still have the original radio which will go with the car. The only thing I never really fixed on the car was the cruise control. It stopped working a few years ago, and I never really used it so I never explored why it is not working. But everything else on this car I repaired when it needed it. It gets regular oil changes. The head gaskets were replaced about 6-7 years ago I believe and a new water pump was install last year. It has a new battery and fairly new tires. Like I said I drive this car almost 150 miles a day for work, so I know it is very reliable. It is a smoke free car, never been smoked in. Car does not burn any oil. It does have a transmission fluid leak, but it is very slow. I think I have to add a quart about every 3 months. I believe it is coming from the trans cooler lines. Once again not that big of a deal so I have not repaired it.
The car is nearing 200K miles and it still is strong. It is in need of some struts and shocks since they have not been replaced in 2 years and almost 40K miles, but you can start driving this car as soon as you get it, no problem.
If you are interested I will gladly answer any questions you may have or send any pictures you like.

Used
“Car is in great shape for its age. It is missing one belt molding on the front passenger side fender. There is signs of surface rust in places, but not real rust to speak of. The interior shows very little signs of wear, just slight wear on the edge of the drivers seat. The steering wheel has some wear as well. AS you expect for a daily driver car for its age, it has wear. The cruise control is also not working currently and the AC blows cold air only on cooler days. Everything else works as it should. There is a crack in the windshield on the passenger side.”
