 This is a NO RESERVE AUCTION. Please, I ask that you not bid unless you fully intend on purchasing this vehicle.

I acquired this car in July of this year with 65,200 miles. Since then, it has traveled 5300 miles with ZERO mechanical problems. There are a couple of issues that I will go over later in this post. Lets start now with the positives!

  • I am the second owner of this Lincoln. The first owner resided in PA.
  • The air suspension is original, along with all front end components. It's tight as a drum on the highway and there is ZERO play in the steering. When I had a set of 18' polished Bullitts, this car handled like it was on rails! Truly remarkable what a set of tires could do for handling performance of such a large car! Not once has the suspension been a concern. It has stayed up for weeks on end while in the garage. It also lowers as it should on the highway when you are cruising at speeds in excess of 60 MPH, and raises itself when back onto local road speeds.
  • Air conditioning is in great working order as well. The car remained comfortably COOL even in temps reaching 115 degrees. YES, YOU READ CORRECTLY! We did have temps that reached 115 in NYC this past summer
  • Interior door panels, switches, CUP HOLDERS (I know lots of people ask about this one all the time), and other items look and work as they should.


Does it qualify for classic insurance?

  • YES IT DOES! I currently pay $120 a year for full coverage at $7000 in agreed value. I will refer you to the company that I do business with if you wish. I have 3 Lincolns currently with them! 

What needs attention:

  • Tilt steering recently decided it wanted to work, then didn't want to work again. It is stuck in the downward position...This really didn't bother me because thats where I like it any time I drive. My fiance drove the car recently and we discovered it was not working. . THE TELESCOPIC PORTION DOES WORK!
  • The blend door actuator will need to be replaced in order to get heat. There is a work around for it I am told. However, I am FAR FROM HANDY so I have never attempted to fix it. It never really bothered me since I drive the car when the weather permits anyhow. 
  • Chrome on the grille is peeling
  • Mechanic stated that the lower control arm bushings need to be done


This is a very clean original driver that you can enjoy without worrying about driving it anywhere. I've taken it a few times to Mohegan sun, and to Atlantic city. Wherever the car goes, it usually tends to get compliments!

In closing, I encourage you to see the car for yourself prior to bidding, and I am more than willing to go to any mechanics that are local. There is nothing for me to hide, she is a fantastic car!!!! We are selling this because we need to lease a new SUV for our baby coming up in May. We are excited, and unfortunately, toys need to go!

Please contact me at 718-865-7599 with any questions at all =)

Thanks, and happy bidding!!!!

Tesla offered nuclear plant in France, and more | Autoblog Minute

Fri, Apr 8 2016

Longtime GM design chief Ed Welburn retires, Lincoln says it has high customer interest in Continental, and could Tesla build the Model 3 in France? Senior Editor Greg Migliore reports on this edition of Autoblog Minute. Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] General Motors' long time Vice President of design, Ed Welburn, announced his retirement this week. He joined GM in 1972 and he's just the sixth design chief in GM's 108 years. He's being replaced by Michael Simcoe who is Vice President of design for GM's international operations. Now Ed Welburn's time at GM dates back to when he was 11 years old. He wrote a letter to the company saying he wanted to be a designer. [00:00:30] Someone at General Motors got back to him and the rest is history. Lincoln already has 40,000 hand raisers for the new Continental. Now those aren't Tesla figures but it's still a very healthy number and shows a lot of interest for its new flagship sedan. The Continental will replace the MKS in Lincoln's lineup. Continental will be in showrooms this fall and it will offer a 3.0L V6 twin-turbo with 400 HP. Lincoln President Kumar Galhotra said, "No other Lincoln vehicle has [00:01:00] generated this much interest in this little time." This week in Tesla news, Reuters reports that a French government official has offered Elon Musk the site of a an old nuclear reactor to build a car factory. The reactor, which is located in the Alsace region of France, is set to close at the end of this year. Now this notion is not that far fetched. Musk says that he would consider it. Meanwhile demand for the Model 3 continues to be strong and has attracted hundreds of thousands of hand raisers. [00:01:30] Those are the highlights form the week that was.

Lincoln previews new Navigator with illuminated grille, new interior

Tue, Aug 13 2024

While it's not the best-selling Lincoln, the Navigator stands proud as the company's flagship and one of its most important models in terms of image. The current-generation SUV made its debut for 2018, and it will soon receive what sounds like a round of far-reaching updates. Full details about the new-look Navigator aren't available yet, but a short preview video published by Lincoln gives us several hints. We already know that the front end gets a redesigned grille that's seemingly wider, and the teaser confirms that the central slat and the Lincoln emblem will be illuminated. Earlier spy shots suggest that the big SUV's overall proportions won't significantly change, however. Another detail revealed by the video is that the updated Navigator receives a redesigned interior. In the current model, the ignition button is located on the right side of the steering column (near where you'd expect to find the ignition barrel in an older car) and the buttons used to shift the transmission into gear are below the air vents on the center stack. In the updated SUV, the ignition button and the piano key-like shift buttons are on the center console. The steering wheel gets a cleaner-looking design, and it looks like the dashboard is new as well. There's no word on what's under the hood. For 2024, the Navigator comes with a 3.5-liter V6 that's twin-turbocharged to 440 horsepower and 510 pound-feet of torque. It spins the four wheels via a 10-speed automatic transmission. Rear-wheel-drive is no longer offered. An unverified report claims a hybrid system will join the portfolio; the 10-speed automatic was developed with electrification in mind, after all. Lincoln will unveil the Navigator on August 15, and the model should land on dealer lots for the 2025 model year. The Ford Expedition that the Navigator is closely related to is expected to receive a major round of visual and tech updates for the 2025 model year as well.

Lincoln MKC will be renamed the Corsair in 2021, probably

Mon, Jun 18 2018

Lincoln will be renaming its MKC crossover, calling it the Corsair instead. Automotive News is reporting that the recently trademarked, yet storied Ford model name Corsair will be affixed on the 2021 model year crossover. The report says Ford has already told its U.S. dealers about the name at an Orlando meeting last month. Ford has a long history with the Corsair nameplate in the States and abroad: Most recently, it has been in use in Australia in the early 1990s, in the UK in the 1960s, and before that Ford offered an Edsel Corsair in the late 1950s. Even if an Edsel connection might not be the best possible thing for a Ford product, let alone a Lincoln, it might serve the crossover well as Ford moves to ditch the MK naming convention it's used for Lincoln for the past decade. Still, the manufacturer is said to have cautioned dealers it might opt out of using the Corsair name before production time. At the same meeting, Ford reportedly showed the next-generation Escape, the Explorer, a battery electric crossover dubbed the Mach 1, a yet-unnamed small SUV (which might be the Bronco) , and a new Lincoln Continental complete with suicide doors. The MKC will still receive a refresh for next year, retaining its letters-name for a couple of years before the bigger redesign for 2021. Currently, the MKC is the strongest-selling Lincoln product in China, and it brings in numerous new Lincoln customers there. In the U.S. it's outsold by the MKX crossover and is neck-and-neck with the MKZ sedan.
