Must See! 1995 Mercury Cougar Xr-7 Sedan 2-door 4.6l Special Edition on 2040-cars
Faribault, Minnesota, United States
You are bidding on a 1995 Mercury Cougar XR-7 Special Edition. Car rides and drives very smooth. A V-8 engine provides excellent power and stability when driving but the Cougar does gets surprisingly good gas mileage for a V-8 engine. With an average of 22-26 miles per gallon, I can attest this vehicle does get closer (if not above) to the higher end of this range.
Does come equipped with power windows, coded keyless entry, power locks, six way adjustable power seats with controllable lumbar air support. Has a CD player installed but missing faceplate. It was stolen by some kids. Do not know the make of the cd player but was not factory issued. Leather seats but cracked from sun exposer. Working A/C and heat. Automatic transmission, good size trunk space. (Code will be provided for the winner of this auction and code can be customized to new owner's specifications.) The car was purchased from an elderly couple who lived on a farm outside of Willmar, Minnesota. The lady rarely drove it when it was purchased by myself. I hate to part with this car because I do love it so but I have recently purchased another vehicle and there is not room. Known issues included are: Car was in an accident and was struck in the driver's side front light/bumper area. The vehicle was parked and not in operation when this happened. Did do some scratch and dent damage (not noticeable until up closer to the vehicle) u and although the light cover was taken off, both sets of the headlights still are functional. And blinkers are operational as well. Car could use a new thermostat soon. Tires are okay but newer ones should be considered at some point. Inside the switch to turn the headlights on and off has fallen off. I do have the main knob but the smaller inner part of the knob fell out so the knob won't stay on unless a small fitting or replacement part can be ordered. Check engine light is on. Was on since I bought the car and was told it was just a electrical malfunction (not serious but common electrical problem) CD player needs the faceplate to access working cd player/am/fm radio. All speakers are still in working condition Just needs a little TLC. No known transmission or engine problems. It's very stable and runs and drives very nicely. I will require a $200 non-refundable deposit within three working business days and full payment within a week thereafter. The winner of this great car must make arrangements to pick it up from Faribault, Minnesota no later than two weeks after the vehicle is paid for. Faribault, Minnesota is located about an hour south of the Twin Cities metropolitan area. (Minneapolis, MN/St. Paul, MN) Address and directions will be provided to the winner. Car can be driven to the winner's location if desired. I will accept Paypal, cashier's check, money order or personal check. NOTE: Additional time is required if paying by personal check for the check to clear successfully. Cash will also be accepted in person but deposit must not be paid in cash but by other payment mentioned above. Overall I very good car. A few tweaks will make it an exceptional vehicle. LOW RESERVE Thank you and good luck! |

Mercury rises around sexy Cougar pack
Sat, May 30 2015With a slightly larger body and a more luxurious interior, the Mercury Cougar doesn't carry quite as much cachet among pony car enthusiasts as the venerable Ford Mustang. But don't try to make that argument around Cougar super-fan Mike Brown. Since starting his Cougar collecting in 1988, Brown has become an absolute expert on the model, and he claims to have owned 400 of the Mercury pony cars in that time. Ten of them are in his collection today, not to mention a heap of spare parts in the garage. Check out some of the rarer members of Brown's fleet and allow him to tell you about them in this interesting interview from Electric Federal.
New Forza 6 car pack will let you race the Pontiac Aztek
Fri, Jan 29 2016Just in time for this weekend's Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona, the new Alpinestars Car Pack for Forza Motorsport 6 on the Xbox One lets you slip into the driver's seat of last year's winner. If you want to take something much weirder for a spin, the collection also includes a 2005 Pontiac Aztek. The download is available now for $6.99. The Ford #02 Chip Ganassi Racing Riley Mk XXVI Daytona was in a four-car battle early in last year's race, but it eventually was victorious. Forza Motorsport 6 also challenges drivers who download the car to a new Rivals event around Daytona, and the fastest people could win Alpinestars prizes. If you're nostalgic for a classic Daytona racecar, this pack includes Mercury #15 Whistler Radar Cougar XR-7. The V8-powered beast won the IMSA GTO class in the 24-hour event in 1990. It should be fun around the game's longer road courses like Road Atlanta. This collection also has an eclectic mix of vehicles that aren't racecars. The controversial Aztek and the equally-controversial 1996 Subaru SVX take their places beside a lineup that offers drivers three eras of performance cars – a 1967 Sunbeam Tiger, 1974 Toyota Corolla SR5, and 1992 Alfa Romeo Milano Quadrifoglio Verde. The video below shows all of them in action. Race to the Finish Line with the Alpinestars Car Pack for Forza Motorsport 6 By Xbox Wire Staff posted on January 27, 2016 at 8:00 am With the racing season set to kick into full gear during this weekend's Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona race, Forza fans now have a chance to get their own taste of endurance racing glory with the Alpinestars Car Pack for Forza Motorsport 6, available on Thursday, Jan. 28. Leading off the pack of seven cars is last year's 24 Hours of Daytona winner, the 2015 Ford #02 Chip Ganassi Racing Riley Mk XXVI Daytona Prototype. The prototype will be fielded in this weekend's race, which begins at 2 p.m. EST on Saturday, Jan. 30 and can be viewed live on Fox Sports 1 in the U.S. The Alpinestars Car Pack features six additional cars, each with a unique pedigree all its own. From the 1990 Mercury #15 Whistler Radar Cougar XR-7 – also a competitor in Daytona 24 Hour events of years past – to the inimitable 2005 Pontiac Aztek (famous more for its fictional owner than its performance), this pack has something for every kind of car fan. Forza Motorsport 6 is the only game where players can drive last year's Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona winner on the recently remodeled Daytona International Speedway.
