Willowbrook, Illinois, United States

 For sale is a 1997 Lincoln Mark Viii base model. It has a 4.6L V8, RWD. Oil was changed every 2000 miles with ford synthetic blend oil. Coils and plugs were replaced at 100K. The airbag suspension on the car works. The front passenger side airbag suspension was replaced less than a year ago. The car has Michelin Hydroedge tires on it. They are 80,000 mile tires that were put on at about 100K. The car runs and drives fine, but has not been used much in the last 6 months so the idle is rough to begin, but is gone when driving.

The car does have some body issues. There is a dent from a shopping cart behind the passenger side door. There are a few dings on the passenger door as well. The drivers side door has a ding on it as well. The moonroof is no longer functional, however it is closed and has not been rained in. There is an issue with the radio at times (it will give static). The drivers side door lock only works with the key, and the passenger side door handle is broken and needs to be replaced. The latch for the hood inside the car is broken (wire snapped), that is why the hood is left open in the pictures. It does open and stay closed (you must pull the wire from the bottom side of the grill). There is some surface rust under the doors (rust inhibitor has been applied to it several times to prevent)

The xenon headlights do work without any issues! Good first car, or just looking for a car to get you around. It is still a head turner with few out there. Please ask questions!

2013 Lincoln MKZ [w/video]

Fri, 07 Dec 2012

Rebranding When Reinvention Is Requisite
Lincoln - pardon us, the Lincoln Motor Company - assures us that Ford is committed to its success. The awkwardness of the statement (which feels vaguely like your mother telling you that she loves and supports you regardless of what everyone else thinks) was hard to escape when we recently spent a few days with the all-new second-generation 2013 Lincoln MKZ.
Launched earlier this year at the 2012 New York Auto Show, the MKZ is a midsize premium sedan that shares platforms with the Ford Fusion (also all-new for 2013). The sedan's primary competitors, according to Lincoln, include the Audi A6, BMW 5 Series, Cadillac CTS and Lexus ES Series sedans - each an established, accomplished player.

Matthew McConaughey dusts off his Lincoln Lawyer jacket [w/videos]

Thu, 21 Aug 2014

Alright, alright, alright. Easygoing Texan Matthew McConaughey has enjoyed a career renaissance recently with critically acclaimed roles in Dallas Buyers Club and True Detective, and the actor has just signed a multi-year deal with Lincoln to become the luxury brand's spokesperson. The first ads starring McConaughey should hit televisions and the internet soon.
McConaughey's campaign has his pitching starting out with the company's pivotal new 2015 Lincoln MKC compact crossover. "Lincoln is an iconic, American brand and I like where they are heading with their transformation," he said in the announcement of the deal. The appears to be really throwing some money into these ads, too. Not only has it hired A-list talent in front of the camera, Nicolas Winding Refn, best known for Drive, is directing the spots.
Of course, this won't be McConaughey's first noteworthy ride in a Lincoln. Back in 2011, he starred in The Lincoln Lawyer, a legal thriller about at attorney would did business out of a 1980s Town Car. The MKC should certainly prove to be a much better driver than that.

Ford recalling 205k Edge and Lincoln MKX units for possible corrosion

Thu, 30 Oct 2014

After the horrible weather last winter, it's hard to look forward for the season to return this year. For those readers in much of the country, the snow is going to be flying soon, and with it comes salt on the roads. That means Ford's regional recall for the 2007-2008 Edge and Lincoln MKX arrives at the perfect time because they are at risk for corrosion.
The campaign covers 204,448 examples of the models in 21 states, plus the District of Columbia and some provinces of Canada. In total there are 186,024 vehicles in need of repair in the US and 18,424 in Canada.
According to Ford, it's possible for the area, "under the reinforcement brackets where the fuel tank is mounted" to corrode. If this happens, there might be a gas smell in the vehicle or even a fuel leak could develop. In fact, the automaker reports that one fire could be related to the problem but no injuries or accidents are reported.
