1983 Cougar for Sale July 08, 2014, 03:03:33 PM I am selling my mother's 1983 Cougar. It is located in the Quad Cities (Bettendorf, Iowa) and has 73,000 miles on it. She was the original owner. It has always been garaged and is in very good condition (yes it runs and the body/interior look great). It is slated to be included in an estate sale that will be taking place this weekend but upon learning of this forum I though I'd communicate out to this group about it's availability as well. I'm also trying to get a feel for what a reasonable price is for this vehicle and would appreciate any input that this group may have in that regard.Thank you,Kate Quote Selected

1983 Cougar for Sale Reply #10 – July 11, 2014, 04:03:24 PM Called the Taber estate sales today. They said the car was $4000.00 obo. I was under the assumption this was an auction type sale, but they must be taking offers until the 13th unless it goes for the $4000 first. Quote Selected
