Never seen a gray interior on a tan car.
That is odd! It should be mocha.
Never seen a gray interior on a tan car.
A good question to ask or look for if you see the car... Let it idle for a bit and then put it in gear and drive away, see if it smokes and then goes away. that would be the notorious valve seals. If that is the case, you can igore it. It won't do it on long drives, but will in start and stop situations.Valve seals on 94-95 4.6s are notorious, and to lesser extent the oil control rings gumming up.
Now you have...Never seen a gray interior on a tan car.
put it in gear and drive away
It worked for me!That sounds like a way to get the car for free!

If a person likes MN12s and has the money, $11k for that Cougar is a good deal. Tell me what other 2 door V8 car that clean, you can buy at that price. You'd have that much in a nice paint job of you were to restore one.
I don't anticipate this will be a popular opinion, but I can absolutely tell you how much replacing all of a car costs
I mean, it's an asking price. Nothing wrong with starting negotiations optimistically.
For me personally, the grey interior would be a deal breaker. It just doesn't work with the green exterior in my opinion.
I should have added *with that mileage.* Most of the cars you listed, in good shape and that low of mileage are $20k cars.If it’s the exact year you’d want, the exact color combo you’d want, exact powertrain configuration you want, absolutely. But that’s a very specific buyer, I’d probably pay that for a Chameleon 95 Cougar in such condition because that’s probably my favorite, but a pacific green 96 Cougar?It’s nice but it’s not my thing, I’d sooner entertain repainting the car I have in the color I truly want.
As for V8 RWD cars, C4 Vettes and even C5 Corvettes, SN95 Mustangs, Lincoln LS, 4th Gen Camaro/Firebirds, LS and GS400 Lexuses etc. Actually even the modern trio of retro V8 ponycars from the late aughts aren’t that hard to find for $11k based on what I’ve seen on marketplace. V8 RWD is a desirable commodity to enthusiasts but it’s not THAT rare. Plus factor in platforms that are easy to transplant V8s into like 90s BMWs or Miata’s or whatever and where’s the mass appeal to make that price fair market value?
I love my Cougar and the MN12 as an entity but they’ll always be niche/labor of love possessions. I won’t judge anybody for paying that price, if that’s the car they want that’s the car they want, spare no expense(I think we all mostly follow that mantra) but as for the seller thinking he “knows what he has” …yeah… ok dude, GLWS.
And the other case in point is the $650 SC below it is every bit the car it is and more for practically pocket change. The speedometer rear bumper and blower alone exceed its asking price, yet you can have all those parts and many other desirable parts of you just fix the transmission for what? a grand?
