I bought a new (used) car. Ask me anything!

[Blue-Jay]

Just got a 2000 Mercury Cougar, and I absolutely love it!

1. Does it have a cassette or CD player?

Sounds like a great car!

Oh, one more: How many miles??

[Blue-Jay]

4. CD player

and the sound is excellant. No, I'm not going to be the butthole with the subs and the rattling license plate that annoys everyone, but the quality of the sound is great.

Moderate miles on it. Only about 40K.

8. Sounds great!

Drive and be happy!

2. Good gas milage?

[Blue-Jay]

5. Not great, I'm sad to say.

It's a V6, so I'm only getting about 24 MPG in the city. Luckily, I only commute about 3 miles to work. I wanted to get something with better mileage, but I fell in love with this thing when I took it for a test drive. I'll likely get a speeding ticket soon.

3. GRRRRRRR!

As a poor single mother whose 15-year-old car just died and who doesn't have the money or credit to get a car that's less than seven years old, I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT!!!!! BOO-HOO, I WANT THAT CAR!!

Ahem. End of childish rant!

6. Sorry to hear that L.H.

I've been driving the same POS car for the past ten years. It served me well, but the repair bills were becoming too frequent. When the CV joints started clicking, I decided that enough was enough.

7. I got a new radiator for my car and it is running much better now!

:party:

9. Here's what it looks like

Same color and everything.
