The FORD COUGAR (1998-03) 3DR COUPE 2.5 V6 170 AUTO4 is a four-seat, three-door coupé: a stylish, comfortable choice rather than a practical family hatchback or everyday city car. In the UK used market it sits as an affordable older grand-tourer, pairing distinctive looks with an automatic gearbox and a smooth, lively V6 engine. mycarcheck.com has recorded 110 look-ups covering 44 different VINs, a useful sample for this ageing model. Checks show an average private-sale valuation of £600 and average recorded mileage of 83,000 miles; average annual mileage is just 1,000 miles. The typical car has had about three previous keepers, so condition and history deserve close attention. Best for couples seeking relaxed trips and distinctive style, it sacrifices rear-seat practicality and economy. Its V6 automatic feels more effortless than compact coupés, while bold styling sets it apart from the Ford Probe. Check condition closely: age and upkeep costs matter.
