2000? Cougar 2.5 manual

Mon Sep 20, 2010 2:04 pm

So anybody want one?

I've got my old neighbors Cougar in my driveway and she wants to sell it. It's in need of some work but it runs and drives.

I'll try to post some pics later, I have no idea what it's worth but she's asking $2000.00 for it.

It's been sitting a long time and needs some brake work and it has a habit of pulling to the right when you hit the brakes.

She had wanted me to do some work on it but honestly I hate working on them myself and being as it's not my car I don't feel the urge to work on it, besides I have zero time to even work on my own car lately let alone that one.

It really could be a decent car for a person that wanted to put some effort into it.

options? Moon roof? auto locks/windows? miles? Might know someone interested. Pics would be great if you have time to snap a couple.

If it's just brakes I could do those easily.

I'll trade you a little girls' Huffy bike and my Raleigh for it.

I think he said it's got like 125k miles or so, I remember it's less than my Cougar

I think it's pretty much loaded, The wife is oing to e-mail me a couple pics here shortly.

This car does need some work, keep that in mind. I don't think she's dead set on that price but I know what she said she has into it so I know she doesn't have a lot of room at that price before she's losing money.

Edit- I just checked KBB and they put it at $1875.00 in fair condition and that's about where I'd put this car by their definition.

Fair- Some mechanical or cosmetic defects and needs servicing but is still in reasonable running condition.
Clean title history, the paint, body and/or interior need work performed by a professional.
Tires may need to be replaced.
There may be some repairable rust damage.

Sounds about like this car.

Hmm. Dunno if I'd pay 2k with that low bluebook and mismatched rims/paint. I'll pass it on to who I think may be interested.
