1988 Mercury Cougar GS WITH XR-7 FEATURES!

Hey Guys,

  I have a friend who needs his car sold, he has a brand new 4 cylinder y thing lol, and wants to get rid of it.  I never saw a cougar like this one before without being a RX-7...


Miles: 97, 600
Shape: Used
Engine: v8 5.0L
Ext: White
Int: Grey
Options:
AOD Floor Shifter, Full Consule, RX-7 Seats, Drivers side power seating, Lighted outside key cylinders, buttstuffog Cluster, Cruise Control , Powered Windows, Power Mirrors, Cougar Sport Wheel, Factory EQ, Automatic Temp Climate Control, Also Prem. Sound.

Recent Work:
Just got new cooling hoses and a new alternator.


Car works great I never drove a 88 before and the floor shifter was so cool to have * CAN'T Wait to install mine *.  Also I never knew the 88 had a key lock my friend was like WTF thought u knew about these cars.  The Inside of the car is mint, I wanted to steal his whole inside lol and switch it with mine, but I love my blue int :D  Also the body was taken care of I looked under it and found no rust.  Very shocked about how nice this car was lol, I was like where the hell did you get this.  Right now he has it sitting at his work which is a gas station * Gonna hot wire it man and bring it home :D SEAT transfer *


He was Asking 3,500 but I got him to drop it to 2,100 dollars because thats all he needs to pay off his small dep.

This is because he hot-linked. He's got the images hosted off another server (assuming it's his). He didn't upload the pictures to this message board as attachments, which has a 3 image attachment restriction.

Agreed about the quality. Sorry, but those are some of the worst pictures I've seen in a long time. Initially thought it was a camera phone (although resolution is large for one). Looks like he is using an Hewelett Packard M307. Needs to practice holding the camera more steady in low-light, among other things.

Its not a RX-7 it has RX-7 features :S The seats, wheels, also I deleted the pictures, go on look at it thru the URL, it gives u a better view.  And I didn't use a cam phone he only had a old like the first year digital cams came out.

Cut back on the caffine before you take pics...geez.  Taking pics isn't that hard...AND most cameras give you a review of what you just took....so if it looks like  on the camera...it will look like more  when it's blown up.

And yes, XR-7..NOT RX-7.

That's an '88 XR-7.

The XR-7 c-pillar emblems were dropped after the '87 models - so even the '88 XR-7s had the regular c-pillar emblems.
The trunklid should be wearing an XR-7 badge after the 'COUGAR', but it's missing.
Nice car, though. I would love to have it.

If the Vin is 1MEBM62F it is an XR-7
If the Vin is 1MEBM60F it is an LS.

It definitely is an XR-7
