See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"We purchased this vehicle as a parts car for my mothers 1998 lincoln towncar. He neighbor blew the motor when he was trying to jump it from his truck. The extra power somehow damaged a bearing and the motor started knocking. Its a great shape and could easily be repaired. It needs a new block and cylenders. I am not a mechanic have no desire to deal with it. We listed her white towncar (excellent shape) a few days ago. this vheicle has been sitting on my lot for over 3 years and I just want it GONE ASAP!It has ALOT of good parts.- Alternator- Brakes- Rotors- AC System- Heater Core - Switches Window- Everything on the vehicle works EXCEPT the engine. It could be replaced for less than $1000 if you know what your doing or if you have a mechanic thats reasonable. Its fairly easy to do.The car has new airbags and all new front suspention. The former owner spent a ton on it."

Everything works but the Engine itself. It will run but not drivable with the engine knocking so hard. It would be a good fixer up er since the exterior and interior are in good shape (See Pic) The engines can be bought used for less than $500 bucks and can be installed for about 500 as well. For $1000 bucks in repair it would make an awsome car. Drives like new (when the engine wasnt knocking!!)

YOU WILL HAVE TO TOW IT HOME. IT CANNOT BE DRIVEN.

Consumer Reports says these are the worst new cars of 2014

Thu, 27 Feb 2014

Consumer Reports has announced its annual list of worst vehicles, a cringe-inducing contrast to its list of top vehicles. Ignominiously leading the way in 2014 is Chrysler, which has a staggering seven models listed.
Jeep nearly sweeps the small SUV segment by itself, with its Compass, Patriot and 2.4-liter version of the new Cherokee, while the only midsize sedans listed by CR were the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger. The new Dodge Dart and the Dodge Journey round out CR's condemnation of Chrysler.
Ford is taking heat as well, with the Taurus, Edge and their counterparts from Lincoln all listed as the worst vehicles in their respective segments. Toyota doesn't fare much better, with its Lexus IS, Scion iQ and tC also making the list.

Lincoln to resurrect old nameplates for China?

Wed, 04 Dec 2013

Judging by the success that many luxury automakers are currently experiencing in China, it's no surprise that Lincoln plans to take advantage of the situation by peddling its wares across the Pacific. Lincoln will open its first Chinese dealership next year, but potential buyers there won't be mucking through the same alphabet soup of car names found in American showrooms. USA Today reports that Ford's luxury car division could revert back to legacy names (like Continental and Zephyr) in China while keeping the MK_ names here in North America.
In speaking to Ford exec Jim Farley during the LA Auto Show, USA Today says that Lincoln could switch its naming structure as models are refreshed. Farley didn't confirm that the naming revamp would be a China-only decision, but article leaves little hope that American buyers will get to see the return of classic names anytime soon.
Why would Ford rehash old Lincoln names for China only? Buyers there seem to have a better historical associations with the nameplates than in the US. Chinese also still hold Lincoln in high regard, associating the marque with use by prominent government officials.

Why Lincoln says it's loving Ellen and Conan MKC ad spoofs [w/videos]

Mon, 13 Oct 2014

You would think that commercial being ridiculed across the Internet would be an advertising executive's worst nightmare, but that's not necessarily the case. At least not when it comes to Lincoln and its latest campaign to promote the new MKC.
The campaign features Matthew McConaughey channeling his characters from True Detective and The Lincoln Lawyer, and was quickly spoofed by both Conan O'Brien and Ellen DeGeneres. But instead of shaking their heads in dismay at the comedy talk-show hosts' take on their ad, Lincoln and its advertising firm Hudson Rouge welcome the free publicity.
"We're flattered. Just to get out into the public mind with parodies says you've achieved a certain amount of notoriety," Hudson Rouge CCO Jon Pearce told Automotive News. "It's hard to put a dollar amount on earned media. We couldn't ask for better."
