Hello im Craig from Ohio. I just picked up my Mercury Cougar the other day. The car was bought Brand New in 2001 by my step dad. He paid around 23,000 + for it. I am buyin it from him now for $11,000 its a 2001 Mercury Cougar ZN Package with V6. Its the yellow color. The car is sharp and sticks out. Everything is stock as of now. I do love the 6 disc changer that came with it. The only thing wrong with this car is that about 4 months ago i ran at it playing around like i was gonna jump on it and i put my hand on the fender and put a dent in the car. It has sent been popped out some but still there about the size of a fist. The good thing is its not creased. I hear i can get this fixed for around 100-200 bucks. That is my first fix to get done.
The car has brand new tires all the way around. I have to check the tires to see what kind but he paid around 800 im im correct on this maybe alittle less. The car has a nice hood scoop and everything in it works greatly. It also has a top of the line electric car starter he put in it about a year or two ago. Not sure on date he paid for that around 300 + and it works up to 900 feet and goes through walls. Nice little feature.
The car only had 48,247 miles on it. Very low miles for a 2001. On a tank of gas id say i get about 485 miles to a full tank of gas. Not to bad. The rims on this car i dont believe are stock cougar rims that come on these cars i think they were a upgrade he had done. I could be wrong but there the kind you can see through and there very cool. It also has the sunroof moonroof feature.
I will have pictures soon. :)
What i want to do is maybe keep the stock radio, and add a set of 2 12"s JL Audio and then replace all the stock speakers in the car to JL and then get a nice Amp or two nice Amps. That will satisfy me greatly on the sound system.
What are some easy cheap upgrades that will make this car sharper.
1. I was thinking about gettin the windows tinted, there tinted from the factory but not sure on the tint. Maybe go with 20 %.
2. I also want to get them yellow tailight covers are them custom painted or do they come painted already? Where can i order a set?
3. Want to get the air breather set up as well.
4. Eventually upgrade to dual exhaust.
5. Get some nice neons and interior work done
The big thing is this i have no body work skills, no motor skills lol and i dont think id want to risk messing any of this up myself. Id have to have all this done by a shop or somebody that can help me.
Id like to start going to a few car shows and maybe ones i get this done up nicely show it off. We in ohio have alot of cruise spots and places to meet and hang out and that is something id like to be apart of.
Of course i want it to be a nice ride as well as good on gas and awesome in the looks department.
That nice chick picker upper lol.
Another thing what exactly is the strutt braces good for??? Do you really need them? The package i have suppose to have a heavy duty suspension on the car already. Just wondering i dont want to have to replace the strutts down the road all cause i didnt add these braces.
Any help would be great.
Sorry so long
