1991 Mercury Cougar LS review from North America
"I think my car was worth it... until about 50,000 miles"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Got the car with 66,000 miles.
Front brakes replaced 100% at 67,000 miles.
Water-pump, throttle, alternator and computer chip replaced at 67,000 miles.
Ran amazing until I passed 68,500 miles. I now have a major engine knock.
General comments?
I got the car so I could travel from home, to school, to work, but now find myself wanting to get rid of this car, because the 3.8L V6 isn't a very reliable motor. So I'm going to drive the car to the ground. It's great on gas for a V6, but I've put to much time and money into it.
Bought it for $1100.00.
Put about $1000.00 into it.
I'm sick of it. I'm gonna fix my truck, and sell it for $500.
I figure it's gonna make it another year, then I'll trash it.
Here I come DEMOLITION DERBY!!! :)
