9,425 miles?! For $2,900, I'd consider that a bargain and a half.

Just about every option but moonroof and leather.

Different seats and wheels and you'd be sitting pretty.

I think it's still under warranty.

I do wonder why the new brakes and exhaust system..... anyone?  anyone?

Probably because it sat and they rusted:D .

If I had the $$$ it would be mine by now:D

Well did anyone notice that it has a floor shifter?  I did not think anything but an XR7 came with a floor shifter?

One question about the LS... does it have the same suspension and rear end as the XR-7 in 1988?

NO.  If it's an 88 XR7 it will have an 8.8 rear  LS has 7.5

Also, according to Coolcats, the console was an option on the LS in '88.  I doubt there are very many that came like that.

According to Eric's write up, and LS with the 5.0L was an XR7 with different wheels and trim.  That was in the 1988 info.  Looking at the rear end tech info, it says 88 XR7 was the only Cougar that used the 8.8.  So this car does not.
