Power window motor at 73000.
General Comments:
Off the line, this car is stellar. Very quick for it's weight of almost 2 tonnes. Gorgeous monochromatic black exterior gathers many stares everywhere it is seen. Excellent seats and a very strong drive train complete the car. With very few modifications, the Cougar XR-7 is more than a match for many cars. An absolute value for such a rare car.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I purchased my 1990 Cougar used with 68,000 miles. I immediately put her in the shop and went bumper to bumper.
Replaced the struts and shocks, did a complete break job, and tuned her up.
My "Betsy" went everywhere. When I traded her in for my 1997 used cougar, good old reliable Betsy had 210,000 miles.
With the exception of tune ups, oil changes, tires and an occasional bulb change this 1990 Cougar was the best.
Oh how I wish that Ford would bring back the same styling and reliabilty.
