Raleigh, North Carolina, United States

For Sale:
1993 Lincoln Mark VIII 2dr Coupe. Aluminum 4.6L DOHC 32 valve 4 cam aluminum Cobra Motor, 4R70W Heavy Duty 4 speed automatic trans, aluminum drive shaft, 4 wheel disc brakes, posi-traction, independent front and rear suspension, front and rear stabilizer bars, and dual exhaust. Equipment includes JBL stereo system with 8 speakers, power antennae, p/seats, p/windows, p/mirrors, auto dim rearview, p/trunk release, p/fuel door, p/moon roof, climate control, onboard computer, leather interior, bucket seats with console and floor shift and more. I purchased this car from the estate of a deceased gentleman. It was parked for 2 years. I performed the following to get it road ready: Flushed the gas tank, replaced the fuel pump, changed/flushed all fluids and filters, including 12 quarts and filter for trans, replaced every hose, belt, sensor, EGR valve, plugs and wires, intake gaskets, valve cover gaskets, battery, starter, alternator, wiper motor, climate control head, rearview mirror assembly, power antennae motor. I then replaced the driver's power seat motor, added a nice Kenwood CD player, and Safelight put in a brand new windshield. With the car running perfectly, and the trans shifting like brand new, I completely removed the troublesome air-suspension, and replaced it with a Strut Masters conversion kit. All control arms, shocks, springs, ball joints, tie rods ends and sway bar links and steering components are new. I then spent $2000.00 on the wheels and tires you see pictured. I have over $9000.00 invested in this car. The motor and trans are great. No noise, no smoke, no leaks of any kind, great oil pressure, runs cool. Trans shifts like is brand new, when I pulled the valve covers to change the gaskets, the heads were unusually clean; the factory dual exhaust is tight and quiet. The odometer shows 155K. The car is very responsive, and I don't recommend it for a brand new driver. The blue leather interior is nice, no rips or excessive wear, no cracks on the dash. All the lights work. Lifelong North Carolina car, absolutely rust free. Everything other than what is listed below, works. A/C probably needs a charge, Cruise control needs fuse or relay, bad ground on fuel gauge. Needs to be driven. It has been sitting for a long time. All listed repairs and additions have taken place within the last 100 miles, but over a period of 2 years. It was regularly started, and I have put a few miles on it recently. It has some dings, scratches and the clear coat is peeling off the roof. The ABS light is on, but the brakes are fine. (I was told this is common when converting the suspension). Airbag light also flashes once in a while. Nice car you can drive as-is while you finish restoring, or use the very desirable drive train for a swap project. I have done a lot of work on this car, and have described it to the best of my ability. Needs some minor TLC from someone who loves cars. Clear title in hand, vehicle is not registered, but if you can get a dealer or transporter plate, I would not hesitate to drive it away. Car is for sale locally, must sell, lost storage. $500.00 non refundable deposit due through pay pal within 72 hours of purchase, remainder upon delivery. |

Ford's Jim Farley hints at Lincoln sales rebound
Thu, 25 Apr 2013If you're a fan of Lincoln, get ready for "a really great story" come May 1. That's how Ford marketing boss Jim Farley, in a call with analysts, characterized the coming April sales report for the MKZ. At the moment, there are probably few things that the executive VP could want more than a happy ending for the ballyhooed sedan that has made people cry boo-hoo for the past six months.
The massive glass roof of the MKZ is trying to support a burden that would make Atlas tap out, and it hasn't shattered, but it has shown a few cracks. The car we called "a big step in the right direction," the embodiment of the reinvention of the brand and a test of Lincoln's commitment to a new rear-wheel drive offering was given an $8-million dollar Super Bowl ad spend earlier this year, then quality control issues during its assembly scuttled deliveries. Lincoln got over that and kept up the ad blitz, now it just wants the good work to take hold.
If Farley's not leading us on, April could be the month. He said the results (so far) show "the product is being very well-received," inventory is finally where it should be and the MKZ Hybrid is doing better than expected. It bears noting that Lincoln is offering some aggressive incentive programs at the moment, including 0.9-percent APR and $1,000 off for conquest buyers stepping out of competitors' vehicles.
Lincoln Navigator facelift only has to last until 2016 replacement
Thu, 21 Aug 2014The Navigator is not only Lincoln's longest-serving nameplate - dating back to 1998 when the final Town Car was introduced - but it's also the oldest model still in the brand's portfolio. The current Navigator arrived on the market in 2007, and underwent a refresh just a few months ago for the 2015 model year. The updates were subtle, but if you're waiting for an all-new model, it's just a couple of years down the road.
According to Automotive News, Lincoln is already working on an all-new replacement for the current, long-serving Navigator, which will be revealed two years from now in the middle of 2016 as a 2017 model. At that point, we're expecting it could switch (alongside the Expedition) to the new aluminum architecture introduced on the Ford F-150, seeing as how the current model is based on the old F-150.
In the meantime, the refreshed Navigator ditches the big 5.4-liter Triton V8 in favor of a more economical 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6, and wages war in two wheelbase lengths against the V8-powered competition in the form of the Cadillac Escalade (and Escalade ESV), the Land Cruiser-based Lexus LX and the Infiniti QX80, which is based on the overseas Nissan Patrol.
Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes
Thu, 10 May 2012When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.
