NO RESERVE

This 1997 Mercury Cougar XR7 has 133515 miles.This COUGAR XR7 is being as-is with NO RESERVE. The interior is in good condition.The Air Conditioning did click on the day of the listing and cycled as it should, because of the cold temperatures I could not confirm it was blowing cold, I believe it does work.The 4.6 Liter 8 cylinder starts right up, runs smooth and quiet.The Air Bag Light is ON.The body is in overall good condition with areas of rust, many seen in the photos.There are some small dents and has various areas with scratched paint.The driver’s outside door handle door is broken.It will still open the door but will need to be replaced. All power windows and doors open and close.YOU SEE IT AS WE RECEIVED IT….

The 1989 to 1997 Thunderbird and Cougar models have the highly desirable engine, transmission and rear axle assembly, sought after by car enthusiasts looking for a donor car for their COBRA kit car build or for the early Mustang and Cougar collectors looking to upgrade their classic car to a modern drive train.

Those who follow my NO RESERVE auctions, know I am always transparent when evaluating vehicles.This vehicle runs, the motor starts fast, idles smooth.The transmission shifts normal.Drive it away if you are willing to accept all the unknown risks.The tires are in poor condition.That said, as always and with any vehicle you may buy at an Ebay auction, the buyer accepts all risk whether driving it home or arranging transportation.

The vehicle is sold as-is and any and all statements made in this listing does not represent a guarantee. If and when we make statements like ‘the engine runs good and the transmission shifts as it should,’ generally we do not drive the vehicles more than three to four miles to our lot, often without the vehicles up to full operating temperatures. Vehicle will come with a REBUILT SALVAGE title.

Being sold by R and T Auto Sales located in Bedford Ohio.We are a clearing house for vehicles received in trade by a number of high-end local dealerships that only wish to display and resell high-end used cars on their lots.We buy most vehicles in bulk what they will not show on their lots and sell most to the general public in the same condition we receive them AS-IS with the savings passed along to the consumer or repair facility that purchases vehicles like this for needed used parts.

Selling AS-IS without reserve.I do my very best to describe every vehicle I sell as accurately as possible.Nothing is intentionally misrepresented nor are there any intentional omissions.In no way do we attempt to glamorize or professionally detail any of the vehicles we sell.Often the photos are taken shortly after they arrive with interiors not cleaned and carpets not vacuumed.That said I emphasize that all vehicles are listed and sold AS-IS.If you have any concerns or optimism and or you are not willing to buy this vehicle absolutely as-is please do not bid on this vehicle.I highly recommend a pre-bidding inspection.If you chose to bid without a pre-bidding inspection you do so knowing this vehicle is being sold AS-IS.If you are the high bidder… you bought it.You will be fully expected to comply with the terms of this auction and complete your purchase in a timely manner.

Sellers statement of understanding to Bidder and Buyer; as stated, we sell vehicles in the same condition we received. We have no history of records. We do not inspect the vehicles, the walk around photos show the condition as well as I can describe. We may have driven it a short distance without problems, if so I state that. We do not attempt to over glamorize any vehicle, sometimes buyers set their expectation too high and ignore this disclaimer.That said, it doesn't guarantee the car would be absolutely problem free to you or any buyer, things do wear out and break. You can expect the vehicle will need work or repairs of some kind.I make no claims of warranty on any of the vehicle we sell. The majority of buyers are looking for that diamond in the rough and that is what we hope to supply. The majority of feedback from buyers affirms that.Many of the vehicles we sell are marketed to the mechanic looking for a vehicle to repair, drive or resell.Still occasionally there is a buyer who does not comprehend the risk of buying a vehicle online with no history except for a clean title. You can see I have only one neutral feedback, from a buyer who arrived and the vehicle would not start.We refunded fully. Another buyer purchased a vehicle that we stated was unsafe to drive with significant suspension, steering and braking concerns.Still he flew here from Florida, took a risk and drove the vehicle back to Florida, fortunately for him, without mechanical breakdown.BID only if YOU understand there are risks and only if you are willing to accept those risks.Others have and the positive feedback prove that!
