Maybe its been on here before. Very clean looking. 59k low miles.
Manual HVAC, weird.
There's also an equally nice 87 XR-7 on eBay right now as well.
I didn't know you could get manual HVAC in a 20th. I thought Electronic Climate Control was standard?
ATC was an option:

Will be interesting to see how much it goes for.
Hmm. Not too far from me. I could be tempted. Let's see what it goes for.
Yup, manual HVAC is the only thing obvious that they didn't order. Didn't read the whole thing, does it mention Trac-Lok?
Edit- looks like no mention. I don't recall seeing anyone post one from MD. It's rather unique in that there's no reserve and the starting bid is so low. The seller glorifies this.
They must have gotten it for absolutely nothing / inherited it.
Looking close there are a few annoying defects. Some dents visible on the rear quarters. I don't know if that's white bird poop on the roof in front of the moonroof or what. :hick:
Someone evidently screwed self-tappers into the floor through the carpet for....a GPS / mic / ??? mount ? Rep-ra-bull but..really? :(
What makes those soft vinyl armrests on door panels bow and "peel" off like the passenger side one did? Just sun exposure? Maybe parked in just the right spot so that got hit a lot? Sometimes it seems so random, in vehicles like this where almost everything is beautiful and then BAM one soft trim piece is all tweaked up.
Anyone ever notice that like EVERY single 85-88 dash cap has is bowed / has a "hump" right in front of the steering wheel?
That's where the stock dash cracks on every single one I've seen. I cut out the crack on mine in that area before I put the cap on.
Yup, it's poo. That dent on the rear wheel well will be hell for a paintless dent removal guy as well.
I can't even see a picture where this is shown? :dunno:
The very first interior picture, if you go left to right like reading a book in the image gallery, shows a little bit of the passenger door panel "armrest" and it looks peeled up to me.
Agreed, the dashes all crack right there.
As far as PDR....I worked for my cousin at his detail shop summer 2011. He has this guy Dwight. "New York Dent" is his business name, I can't find any info anywhere. I guess the guy does every high-end dealership around here and is hard to come by. This '08 black Escalade had a foot long CREASE in the passenger front door. Apparently a high-heel kicked it in. There were a couple other related dents/dings nearby. It was in the bay, and there's flourescent lights on the wall, etc. Well-lit. After this guy was done, I could not for the life of me find ANY evidence. I tried and tried and tried. I mean I've heard of what these guys can do...but seeing is believing. I was blown away. And it didn't take him too long either. I'm not sure he even took the door panel off.
Eventually I'll have him take care of like 6 dents in my red car. Hail storm that I honestly made out pretty lucky from. Twisted irony sure enough...I was driving it home from my cousin's old bodyshop when he took care of some rust. :rollin:
I have a guy I use down here who basically did the same thing on My Dodge. 8 inch long crease from a bicycle handlebar. I show people where it was and they don't believe me. THAT spot though has a lot of reinforcement behind it.
Figured I'd take a look since it is close enough. I won't be bidding on it but hopefully it ends up in good hands.
Sold for $4,002.26 today on ebay. The 26 cents must have been a tie-breaker. I think the price is correct for condition and mileage.

Um... yikes. Did anyone else here see it?
Not in my opinion. And it couldn't be test-driven until the high bidder comes to get it.
Yeah, definitely some unknowns. Any mechanical issues...nothing I can't fix but the point being that it needs work period.
Engine bay looked really nice but they didn't have undercarriage pics..
Re-listed.
[sarcasm]Shocker.[/sarcasm]
Ebay used to be a better (not best) indicator of market prices, assuming the car was not re-listed after. You knew what user ID's were bidding, and it was possible to spot shills. Now, it's 100% a mystery. Not that random people don't also bid without having the money to indeed buy the car. *sigh*.
This car was being advertised on Craigslist this week for 3300 bucks. I went to check it out and you would be best to avoid it. It is a piece of junk. It was painted poorly on the front clip and the doors recently. I think maybe hiding an accident of some sort as the core support and frame on the passenger's side look a bit wavy. The paint on the rear quarters and roof looked oxidized but appeared to have been repainted at some point in the car's life as well because there is overspray from a bad tape job around the windows. It would not stay running whan I tried to test drive it, the antifreeze looked like mud, and the interior looked like it needed a bath. Obviously, the car sold for 4 grand on Ebay and the guy went to pick up the car and told him it was not worth the winning price. I wasted my trip as the car was mis-represented. Don't make the same mistake. The owner was rude when I picked his car apart also. He seems to think he has gold. I offered him 2 grand and I was being generous.
What a shame. What caught my eye in the eBay listing is that fact that the front pass side wheel looks to be missing a lug/stud, whatever you call it.
I was hoping everyone here could read between the lines with my posts so they had a better idea on things before going to look at it. Sorry for not being detailed but I had reason for it.
Unfortunately, I read this after going to see it. But I just want to make sure nobody wastes their time.
Went back up...I remember reading "Figured I'd take a look..." and I don't know why I didn't glean that you HAD from that sentence. But you did keep it concise and neutral as intended. Too bad, poor kitty. Definitely needs a loving home to correct the wrongs.
Aaaand, it's back up again... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mercury-Cougar-LS-/171318875852?ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:US:1123
Just came here to say that myself :D
Junk.
Id pick it up for about $1k. it would be one of my nicer ones.
