You are bidding on this really sharp 1998 Lincoln Town Car MarkVIII. It has high miles, but the only affect this has on the vehicle is it gets you the car you have been wanting for a nice summer drive for a lot cheaper than what they usually go for. This thing has a lot of life left in it. It functions perfectly. Mechanically this car is really sound. It starts right up and can drive across the country if you need it to. These vehicles are designed to last and perform. This car suggests premium gasoline, so it does not gets surprisingly great Gas Mileage. I drove this from Cincinnati to Columbus Ohio for less than $40 in Gas. Let me explain how this car ended up in my possesion... My uncle owns a used car lot. I am a member of his dealership and like to sell cars on the side for a little bit of supplemental income. I have access to dealer only auctions and that's where I get these vehicles. I purchased this car from Manheim Cincinnati. I had absolutely no trouble with the vehicle driving the distance. This is probably because I only buy cars that are "Auction Guaranteed" This is in reference to the powertrain of the vehicle. (engine and transmission). I really enjoy road trips, so I would be willing to drive this car to the winning bidder for a fee a lot less than what it costs to ship vehicles these days. I got this for me to simply flip. I got a good deal and am willing to sell it cheap. I simply just want to sell it and sell it without reserve. hopefully someone can enjoy it for what it is. a very cheap but reliable classic that is discontinued. You never see these on the road. You can tell it has mechanically been well taken care of. Everything works, but The A/C blows warm air. However; the first thing I did was have my Mechanic look it over and change the oil check fluids etc etc. The tires look to be with good life left on them, but I would do an alignment and rotation, because there is a slightly annoying shake at or around 55 mph. There are no signs of this being a smoker's car. Really this thing is ready to just be picked up and driven. Please keep in mind this is an 17 year old car that was clearly garage kept. When you think of this, you can actually feel very good how well the overall shape of the vehicle is. There are no gaps between fender and hood and such things (meaning no real evidence of any body damage in its life). The four rims sparkle and all match. There are not even minor blemishes on the body. The stereo is aftermarket and works perfectly. Actually has a cool design It has AUX and USB inputs. Please bid confidently. I have 100% feedback and try my best to describe the vehicles. Any specific questions I will gladly answer. call email or text 614-271-0330
There are a few points I have to disclose. 1.The driver's side door does not open from the outside. The door handle exists but a latch from the inside seems to be unhooked. 2. There is a tear in the driver's side visor. 3. The glove compartment is missing, the panel underneath the steering wheel is missing exposing the wires (nothing dangerous or unhooked, just an eye soar if you look down. 4. The chrome trimming around the ignition area is missing

How the demise of Lincoln's Town Car has kick-started a limo revolution
Sun, 30 Dec 2012The deaths of the Ford Crown Victoria and the Lincoln Town Car have meant overhauls of three high-profile American fleets: police, taxi and livery car. Just as police fleets are more open to considering other options and a Nissan van is the new face of the NYC taxi, livery car companies are looking at replacements for the Town Car beyond The Blue Oval. Ford, via Lincoln, has made an MKT Town Car (pictured), but an article in the Detroit News claims "it has failed to win over most of the big limousine companies." The upstarts trying to move in include livery and limo editions of the Cadillac XTS, and livery specifications of the Toyota Avalon and Chrysler 300.
Each of those challengers, however, faces challenges. The Town Car was a workhorse, American, rear-wheel-drive sedan with plenty of rear legroom. Cadillac has been in the livery space before but with decontented models that were about selling the brand, not its luxury. It is taking the opposite approach with the XTS, pointing out that its livery edition is "contented in the upper half of the XTS range." Still, the CEO of Michigan's largest livery company says "it's quite a bit smaller than what we're used to," and he also prefers rear-wheel drive.
The Chrysler 300 is rear-wheel drive, and American, which matters to some companies, but Chrysler hasn't yet revealed the livery package for it. The livery Avalon marks Toyota's first time getting into that business in the US, a natural step after having done so well with taxi clients and with the Town Car out of the way. Still, the livery client is a different to taxi buyers, so the Avalon could face other soft-touch hurdles.
NHTSA will investigate some Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ models for power steering issue
Tue, 07 Oct 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening an investigation into the 2010-2012 Ford Fusion, Fusion Hybrid and Lincoln MKZ, the 2012 MKZ Hybrid and 2011 Mercury Milan because the agency has hundreds of complaints of electric power steering failure in these models.
According to NHTSA's data, it has received 508 complaints of the power steering allegedly suddenly malfunctioning and resulting in increased effort to turn the wheel. In four incidents, these failures resulted in loss of control and crashes. According to the reports, in some cases a power steering warning message came on as the fault occurred, and other times the system restored itself by turning off and then restarting the vehicle. NHTSA said it has also received further field report data from Ford, but that information hasn't been publicly released yet.
For the moment, there isn't a recall for this failure on these models. NHTSA is just investigating them to "assess the scope, frequency and safety consequences of the alleged defect," and the agency says an estimated 938,000 vehicles could potentially be affected.
Dodge Dart falls short of Consumer Reports Recommended, Caddy XTS and Lincoln MKS, too
Thu, 22 Nov 2012The Dodge Dart, Cadillac XTS and Lincoln MKS all failed to earn a "Recommended" rating from Consumer Reports. When it came to the compact Dart, the organization's testers thought the vehicle offered a quiet cabin, solid-feeling chassis and nimble suspension, but the new model ultimately fell short of the coveted rating due to powertrain issues. The institute's reviewers found the base 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine to be underpowered and noted "drivability issues" when the available turbocharged 1.4-liter four was paired with the optional dual-clutch transmission (some of our editors disliked it paired with the six-speed manual). CR also dinged the latter powerplant for sounding "raspy." For what it's worth, we think the forced-induction engine offers an excellent and playful exhaust note, but that's just us.
As for the XTS, CR lauded the car for its luxurious cabin, but the vehicle's experience was dulled by its finicky CUE infotainment interface. Overall, the big Cadillac scored much higher than its cross-town rival from Lincoln. While testers found the American luxury sedan to offer a quiet ride and quality fit and finish, they felt the MKS delivered a "cramped driving position, ungainly handling, uncomposed ride, and limited visibility." Ouch. At the end of the day, both cars fell short of rivals from Japan, Germany and Korea. Check out the full press release below with more details, along with CR's musings on the Chevrolet Spark and Lexus ES.
