Default Bought a Cougar Eibach

Hi Lads and Ladettes,

I bought a 2000 cougar eibach for my sister last week. Couldnt find too many cars with traction control and ABS for similar coin (that didnt look like a whitegood on wheels). Picked it up in Adelaide and drove it back to sydney last Friday. Not the most comfortable car, but it wasnt too bad either. Cant believe how low this car is!! Drive was good but a little noisy with a Remus exhaust on it but it does sound a treat (even set off a few alarms on other cars!).

Getting it looked over by my mech this week to sort out all the niggles it appears to have. It has 120,000kms which i hope isnt a lot for a V6. Oh and its an Auto.

Just wanted to ask the experts around here if there is anything I should check or if there are any surprises to expect with this car?

The steering at low speeds tends to shake a little so I think I need a new lower ball joint. Also, the seat heaters dont appear to be work either. Is this something that can be fixed easily or is it an expensive affair?

thanks all,

Kypez.
