2000 Lincoln Continental - Awesome Daily Driver - New Trans + Ac on 2040-cars
|
I am adding this statement to address the very odd report on this car:
Hope this helps relieve any ambiguity on the car! Thanks! DETAILS BELOW. This has been my daily driver for 3 years and it was bought new from a dealer in SC by my grandmother. It was given to me when I entered graduate school so I could reduce my bills. Well I have graduated now and I am unloading the "Silver Bullet." This car has been awesome and I would drive to CA in it tomorrow with no hesitation. I am super picky about maintenance on my equipment and I have kept this car in perfect mechanical shape. 138,500 Miles, V8 4.6 L, Traction Control, Really Well Equipped, SIDE AIR BAGS -Oil changes every 3,500-4,500 miles with synthetic / conventional blend -New A/C lines, compressor and condensor within last 10,000 miles -Rebuilt Transmission by Certified MotorCraft mechanic using MotorCraft parts within 25,000 miles -Bridgestone Turanza tires with 85% tread life left (60,000 mile tires) -Sway bars on rear suspension just replaced -Transmission flushed within 10,000 miles -New Serpentine Belt within 10,000 miles I have all the receipts and will gladly send them along with the car. I am sad to see it go since it has been in my family for it's whole life. This would make a perfect daily commuter to keep miles off other vehicles or a perfect SAFE first car for your teen. It handles great, feels really solid and it has tons of power. It is a 2000 model so it does have a few little intricacies but none of them effect the reliability or comfort of the car. Like I said I am really picky about my equipment. Please let me know if you would like to see it (email preferred). I am readily available and want to see it go to a good home. Thanks for looking.

GM design boss Welburn says Lincoln isn't a Cadillac rival [w/poll]
Thu, 05 Dec 2013General Motors Vice President of Global Design, Ed Welburn, had some dismissive words for a certain cross-town luxury brand during an interview with Car and Driver. When asked about his thoughts on Lincoln, Welburn deflected, before saying, "I don't consider Lincoln to be a competitor for Cadillac."
"They're not a global luxury brand. I don't consider them a competitor. Are they a competitor for Buick? Quite possibly. But not for Cadillac," GM's head designer explained. Welburn, who's been at the helm of GM Design North America since 2003 and is the first to hold the position of VP of Global Design, has been instrumental in the styling renaissance at GM, so predictably, Car and Driver's interview with him focused on the design aspect of cars.
During the interview, Welburn explicitly denied plans for a reborn Cadillac XLR, even as a new Chevrolet Corvette is hitting the market and strides are being made with Cadillac's V-Series performance arm saying, "We have a lot of cars that we're working on for the Cadillac brand. The XLR is not one of them right now."
Is Lincoln MKC cutting into Cadillac SRX sales?
Tue, 07 Oct 2014The two big American luxury brands of Cadillac and Lincoln are on surprisingly similar paths at the moment with both divisions hoping to redefine themselves and grow popularity. They're still early in the process with no clear winner yet, but things might actually be looking up for Lincoln's latest model, according to a monthly sales analysis from The Motley Fool. It seems, at least early on, that the new MKC crossover might be taking a bite out of the Cadillac SRX's growth.
The MKC launched just a few months ago and has been getting a big marketing push from a series of oft-mocked ads starring the smooth-talking Matthew McConaughey. The luxury CUV has been the popular, new kid on the block with growing sales since its introduction. While smaller than the SRX, the Lincoln starts at a lower price and offers better fuel economy.
Through June, the SRX performed well with sales up over 20 percent on average through June, according to The Motley Fool. However, July and August saw things plummet with year-over-year drops of 7 percent and 37 percent, respectively. It still far outsold the MKC in terms of actual units in a given month, but the Caddy's continued growth has appeared to stagnate.
1955 Lincoln Indianapolis concept up for auction
Sat, 21 Sep 2013
Lincoln was never a brand known for making sports cars. In fact it hasn't offered anything with less than four doors since the demise of the Mark VIII, and that was hardly what you'd call "performance oriented". But that doesn't mean that Ford's luxury marque never toyed with the idea.
In 1955 Ford delivered a Lincoln chassis (along with a 200-horsepower V8 engine and four-speed automatic transmission) to Carrozzeria Boano, an Italian coachbuilder that had just branched off from Ghia the year before. The resulting orange coupe you see here was named after Indianapolis and was unveiled at the Turin Motor Show. And while its detailing may have been divisive, the overall shape certainly caught the eye.
