The following auction is for a 1997 Lincoln Continental. I am the 2nd owner of this beautiful car, Car is loaded with everything that you could have loaded in 1997 as the original sticker price was over $40,000 (see pictures). The car has 64,754 miles on it. Car starts up on the first try ever try, even in the 6 degree cold winter blast Ohio has gotten the past week. Handles great in the snow and the car drives really smooth, nice strong engine. On the highway it feels like your barely moving. There are no check engine lights on and it was just in the shop two weeks ago for a tune-up and inspection. I bought the car from an older lady who had bought a new Lincoln and was looking to sell hers, I purchased the car over a year ago knowing that the breaks and ball joints needed done. So all new ceramic pads around, all new rotors around, new break lines, and new ball joints. Other than that the car was in great shape and needed nothing else done to it. Since owning it and driving it daily I've just had the routine basic problems, The 3rd month I had it the thermastat went bad so that has been replaced and just 2 weeks ago I had a tune up done to it, all new spark plugs, fuel filter, air filter, and oil change (as the spark plugs were the original spark plugs from 1997). The exterior of the car is beautiful except for a little are of rust above the rear right tire (The local body shop gave me a quote of $120 to fix it), but other than that little area of the car is rust and dent free. On the passenger side door where the panel is there is a couple of spec's of paint missing, didn't notice any other area's were there were chips and paint missing as the car was triple coated for additional cost when it was new. The car still shines like new with that beautiful pearl white finish. The interior of the car is near perfect, the only imperfection i see is under the passenger seat there looks to have been a red crayon or something of that nature that melted on the floor, I'm sure with a little elbow grease or cleaner this can be removed, but it's under the seat far enough to wear you do not see it unless the passenger seat is moved up. The car has a 6 disc CD player, that works perfectly, the sound in this car is loud an clear as their was a JBL Audio system premium Luxury Sound system put in when purchased. For the CD Player and Sound upgrade in 1997 the cost was over $900 extra to the final price. All seats are plump and tear or hole free. Some of the trim around looks like it had began to come loose and was not put back on very well, all on driver side door, also the window control on the passenger side the plastic piece that covers it is not all the way flush. 2 very minor things that are hard to notice and see, but I want to fully describe the car the best I can. Tires are all matching and have over 60% of tread left, the wheels and rims are all matching, but the back right head cap has been replaced with a different year Lincoln head cap and the back left one was not put back on and is in the trunk for some reason? The trunk and gas release work well and all other power options do as well, seat controls, cruise control, power windows including express down driver window, power mirrors, and anything else I may have forgot. Trunk is big and also very clean. The only other minor issue with the inside of the car, the rear view mirror looks to have gotten water in it, she must have left the sun roof open and it rained in. You can see out of it fine, but it's a little streaky and discolored. I know what you all are thinking well if this car is as great as it sounds why are you selling it?? Well here's the answer, the gas is terrible It only gets 20-22 miles to the gallon which was fine when I only had 5 miles to drive to work, but now I have over 40 and I am getting a newer civic in 2 weeks so I do not need this car anymore. Another negative with the gas is you must use premium fuel only. You can put regular unleaded in, but then you will only get about 12-14 miles per gallon. Car has been a great car for me and besides the thermastat the one day it has never left me stranded. I still use it every day to drive 40+ miles one way so the actual mileage will probably be closer to 65,000 when auction ends. I have tried to describe this car to the best of my knowledge and test drives are welcome and yes you can take it to your mechanic to have it checked out. Most continental in this range of years have 200-250K miles on them so this baby is just getting started. Clean and Clear title in hand. Car is sold as is were is and there is no warranty on it. The car is located in crestline, ohio and is also for sale locally, I have started the opening bid at less than 50% of kelly blue book value and the BIN price is also less than KBB value. Car must be payed for in full within 3 days. $1500 of which is due within 48 hours of auction ending. The car comes with 3 sets of keys. If you have any questions at all feel free to shoot me an email and I will answer them to the best of my ability.

Monochromatic Package spreads to Lincoln's Corsair, Nautilus, and Aviator
Fri, Jul 10 2020Lincoln is catering to buyers seeking a mostly chrome-free SUV by making the optional Monochromatic Package available on the Corsair, the Nautilus, and the Aviator. It was inaugurated by the Navigator in 2019. Inspired by current trends in fashion and interior design, the Monochromatic Package bundles a darker grille, tinted emblems, body-colored mirrors, and darkened trim pieces all around. It also includes black 20- or 22-inch alloy wheels, depending on the model. Lincoln made no mention of modifications in the cabin. 2021 Corsair and 2021 Aviator buyers who tick the Monochromatic Package box will be asked to choose from three colors named Pristine White, Infinite Black, and Asher Gray, respectively. The Monochromatic-equipped 2020 Nautilus will exclusively be offered in Infinite Black, while the 2020 Navigator carries on with Pristine White, Ceramic Pearl, and Infinite Black as its color options when buyers add the package. Lincoln hopes expanding the Monochromatic Package's availability will allow its SUVs to keep building momentum, but pricing information hasn't been announced yet. For context, the chrome-free look costs $3,495 on the 2020 Navigator, and it's exclusively offered on the mid-range Reserve model priced at $83,665. Like parent company Ford, Lincoln is increasingly reliant on its crossovers and SUVs. It confirmed its last two sedans, the MKZ and the Continental, will retire without a replacement in sight after the 2020 model year.
World's dumbest carjackers livestream themselves committing crime
Thu, Oct 13 2016Warrants were issued Monday for a trio of Cleveland carjackers who, after beating up a limo driver and stealing his car, livestreamed themselves joyriding around the city in the stolen limo. According to Cleveland.com, Brandon Lynch, a limo driver and National Guardsman, drove a couple in a hired limo from New Philadelphia, Ohio to Cleveland for game one of the Indians/Red Sox AL Divisional Series last Thursday. After dropping off his passengers at Progressive Field, he drove the stretched 2001 Lincoln to a McDonalds at Carnegie Avenue and East 30th to grab a bite and wait for the game to end. After finishing his dinner in the car, Lynch stepped out for a breath of fresh air in the parking lot when he was approached by three young men on bicycles. One of them asked Lynch if he could take them through the drive-through in the limo. "I laughed at first because I thought they were kidding," Lynch told the website. "I can't just drive someone in the limo." Lynch said no, and that's when the trio jumped him. During the scuffle the three youths choked Lynch out, punched and kicked him in the head. They then rifled through his pockets and made off in the limo. The next day, a young Cleveland resident named Jessee Varner fired up Facebook live and filmed himself and his two accomplices–Ty'Juan Philpot and Norman Henry–reenacting every 90's hip-hop video ever made from inside the stolen Lincoln. During the video they drove around town, smoke some weed, drank some 40 ounce beers, stuck their heads out of the sunroof, and generally made a nuisance of themselves while posting the evidence online. Eventually they crashed the car and fled the scene. Using evidence from the video and from DNA samples collected from a bicycle at the scene of the crime, Cleveland Police issued warrants for their arrest. The three criminal masterminds, who are well known to Cleveland's law enforcement community, remain at large. Despite a bad concussion and the loss of his car, Lynch is looking on the bright side of things. "The Indians won, so it wasn't all bad!" he said.

GM and Ford quarterly sales continue to slump in China
Fri, Jul 5 2019BEIJING — General Motors and Ford announced their quarterly sales in China fell, albeit at a slower pace sequentially, as the U.S. automakers were hit by a slowing economy amid the Sino-U.S. trade war. GM's vehicle sales in China for the quarter ended June 30 dropped 12.2%, while Ford's sales slumped by 21.7%. While GM also suffered from heightened competition in its key mid-priced SUV segment, Ford was hurt by the limited new models for customers to choose from. For the first quarter of this year, Ford's sales in China tumbled 35.8 percent while GM's skid 17.5 percent. Still, the numbers from GM, the second biggest international automaker in China by sales, and Ford portend more uncertainty for the industry which is trying to rebound from a downward spiral that led to its first annual sales decline last year in more than two decades. GM delivered 1.57 million vehicles in China in the January-June period this year, while Ford delivered 290,321 vehicles. China's factory activity shrank more than expected in June, highlighting the need for more economic stimulus amid higher U.S. tariffs and weaker domestic demand. Annual car sales in China fell last year for the first time since the 1990s, and they are expected to fall this year too. Sales tumbled 16.4% in May from the same month a year prior, the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM) said. That marked the 11th consecutive month of decline and followed falls of 14.6% in April and 5.2% in March. U.S. car companies' share of total China passenger vehicles sales fell to 9.6% in the first five months of this year from 10.9% in the year-ago period, according to CAAM. Over the same period, German car makers' share has risen to 23.3% from 20.9% and Japanese auto makers' to 21.3% from 17.3%. CAAM is set to announce June sales next week, which industry analysts forecast will be negative.  New models In China, GM has a joint venture with SAIC Motor Corp, in which the Buick, Chevrolet and Cadillac are made. It also has another venture, with SAIC and GuangxiAutomobile Group, in which they make no-frills minivans and have started to make higher-end cars. Sales of GM's affordable brand Baojun dropped 31.8% for the latest quarter. But luxury brand Cadillac's sales jumped 36.6%. GM sold 3.64 million units in China last year, down from 4.04 units in 2017. Ford makes cars in China through its joint venture with Chongqing Changan Automobile Co and Jiangling Motors Corp (JMC).
