 This is a one owner car and yes the mileage is correct  ONLY 17,167.  I bought this car new in 1997 with the notion that I would be keeping it for a very long time as a classic.   Kids are getting older and college costs money - so sadly I must part with my beloved Cougar.

'97 was the last year Mercury made this style Cougar XR7.  It has NEVER seen a snow flake or salt and only a drop or two of rain.  I drove this car usually on sunny days to the golf course or out to dinner.  It is original, except for deep tinted windows and chrome accents over the wheels. I did have a paint-less dent removal company remove a couple dings that I did not like, but you can not tell where they were now.  This car still smells new.  I have all original paperwork, including the window sticker.  Here is the equipment:

This has been a great car for me.  There are a couple of scratches on the bumpers and the under carriage suffered a dent under the driver's side, but it has NO effect on the cars performance or outward appearance, you have to own it to know it.  If your a Cougar XR7 fan and want to experience a smooth ride and powerful acceleration in a "showroom" condition car from 1997, this is the car for you.  I don't believe there is another one like it out there for sale and in this condition with such low miles.  I also have the original sales brochure.
