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.

Lincoln Aviator backup camera failure spurs recall
Fri, Apr 2 2021Ford Motor Company has announced a recall of certain Lincoln Aviator SUVs to fix faulty rearview cameras. The recall is for 2020 and 2021 model-year Aviators. A total of 34,975 vehicles in the U.S. and another 3,053 in Canada and 379 in Mexico are affected. The image processing module can fail, resulting in the loss of the camera feed when in reverse. Ford says it knows of no accidents or injuries related to the defect. Owners of the affected Aviators will be notified beginning May 19. Dealers will update the software in the modules. In the meantime, Autoblog reminds drivers that if they experience backup camera failure, they can revert to the old-fashioned method of turning in their seat and looking out the back window when reversing.

Ford is recalling more Takata airbag-equipped Ford and Lincoln models
Thu, Mar 2 2017The Basics: Takata, the beleaguered airbag supplier at the root of the largest recall in automotive history, has informed Ford of a problem with the airbags in just over 30,000 Ford and Lincoln models. The problem is not related to the non-desiccated ammonium nitrate airbag inflators that plague the other airbags ( including many Fords), meaning there isn't a risk of shrapnel flying out from the units in this particular recall. The Problem: In the event of an accident, the front airbags may only partially inflate, and the airbag may become detached from the module because of misaligned parts. The problem affects 2016 and 2017 Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX models built at the Oakville Assembly Plant. The issue also affects 2017 Lincoln Continentals that were built at the Flat Rock Assembly Plant. Injuries/Deaths: In a release, Ford stated that it is not aware of any accidents, injuries, or deaths related to the airbag issue. The Fix: Dealers will replace the driver-side front airbag module at no cost. If You Own One: Sit tight and wait for Ford to notify owners. When that happens, take your car to the dealer for a replacement. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

Lincoln MKC spied in final form
Mon, 14 Oct 2013When the Lincoln MKC Concept debuted back in January, it received fairly positive feedback from both Autoblog editors and readers alike, and this bodes well for the production version of the luxury crossover judging by these latest spy shots. Reader Ivan Lo captured a few pictures of some MKC prototypes driving around with minimal camouflage, which gives us our best look yet at the design of this new Escape-based Lincoln.
Based on the spy shots from back in May, we already knew that the production MKC would sport some real door handles, a little side cladding and bigger door mirrors, but these latest shots also show us that the rear quarter windows have been enlarged and the integrated dual exhaust outlets have been replaced by round pipes. This means that the MKC will retain the concept's narrow headlights and what is arguably Lincoln's best execution of its split-wing grille. Even better, the rear view confirms the stylish horizontal taillights will remain intact, as well as the Audi-like wraparound liftgate. Since the entire taillight assembly rises along with the liftgate, redundant lights were also added into the rear fascia.
Unfortunately, the low angle of these spy shots leaves us without a view of the interior, but based on its looks alone, the MKC is shaping up to be a promising vehicle for a brand that so badly needs some fresh metal.
