You'll have no problems

The drivers seat is electric and can be lowered a lot, so being 6' 4" will be no problem. As other have said, no issues at all. There are plenty of good and quite cheap cougs out there. Happy Cougar hunting

going to see a cougar on ebay in york tomorrow

 

[Simon Boyes]

sold before i even got to see it

 

[D1CKL]

Don't give up hope mate, there are plenty of them out there.

 

[cougar1235]

You will find one easy enough mate I got my latest one a 2002 V6 auto off ebay 2 weeks ago.

There's lots more out there - and one of them has your name on it.

 

[Simon Boyes]

just seen one on ebay and the seller said he had replaced the subframe, claiming it to be a common problem ? is this so ?

 

[Simon Boyes]

also like the look of this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ford-Coug...3370879?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item27d26220ff

Its getting to that age now with these cars that the rear subframes are falling foul to rust and quite a few guys in the club have either done or are in the process of doing this

 

[Simon Boyes]

i suppose the thing is when buying have a good look underneath !

 

[dyg3474]

Yep and at the state of the wishbones as they are all getting to that age now as well and they are a bit pricey

 

[Simon Boyes]

i would imagine it is. and not as easy as the rear subframe.

 

[Arkady001]

The fact that it's been done recently is a good thing IMO - that'll last another ten years at least - or as long as the rest of the car will anyway...

'Pricey' is relative: if you can think of any other car of this age and spec. for under a grand that only requires a few hundred quid to bring it back to very nearly 'as new' running condition, I'd like to see it...

Any 13 year old car is going to need work doing to it... I'm glad that so many of the common items are actually so cheap.
Cheaper still if you source them carefully on the used market...
