1988 Mercury Cougar For Sale... October 06, 2007, 11:33:41 AM Hello all,My 1988 Mercury Cougar died on Thursday with blown head gaskets resulting in hydro-lock.The car was maintained extremely well. It had 84,144 Miles on it at the time the engine died. It would have cost me $3100 to get the engine rebuilt but I could not part with that much money mostly because I'm not mechanically gifted.I would love to sell this car to someone who is willing to take care of it.Specs1988 Mercury Cougar Limited Edition3.8L V6MLG: 84144Power Windows, Locks, MirrorsRed Interior with Wooden InlaysCosmetic / Misc.

1988 Mercury Cougar For Sale... Reply #4 – October 06, 2007, 02:51:33 PM Thanks. Believe me I'm upset about it because one thing I do not possess is the understanding of how cars work. I'm intimidated by them and keeping a 20 year old car is not worth the trouble I will have in the future.I love this car and want to see it end up with someone who cares about is as much as I cared about it.Please spread the word.
