Personal experiences of a ford cougar 2.5 V6?

I'm thinking of buying a V reg for £2700 from eBay with high spec but 90k motorway miles. It has a partial service history and 11 months MOT.

Anyone aware of any reliablity issues with a cougar with high mileage? Any other useful/relevant comments about the 2.5 cougar would also be welcome.

99 V 90k miles in good condition @ £2860 private sale.

Hope this helps.
I have worked on them, and am sorry to say, they are a real pain in the butt. One experience, is if you have to have the alternator replaced, it took 2 days. Cause they have it located under the motor, and no easy way to get to it. Sorry to dissappoint. Good luck.
Mercury Cougar in the USA this car is not the race car a little heavy for the output of the engine The duratech engines Here make 200 HP. and displacement is a full 4.0L I would pass this car for something like a Lotus Elise or Extrige I just could not see you looking into the shop windows in a cougar saying I look Great in this car!
too dear, these are not particularly sought after, they are thirsty and dont look so good.
check for misty headlights £300 each, overheating, and abs pump faults £1350 for new pump. they are heavy on the front tyres and the doors can be a bit scruffy from the carpark dents.
