1988 Lincoln Mark Vii - One Owner- 43,000 Original Miles on 2040-cars
Staten Island, New York, United States
|
Up for consideration is a 1988 Lincoln Mark VII . I am listing this car for my friends parents. They are the original owners of this car, which has only 43,528 original miles. This car is in very nice shape for it's age, but it is not perfect. It has been garage kept for almost all its life, with the exception of the last three years. The owners just don't use it any longer, but continue to pay for the insurance and registration, and inspections. For starters the car runs and drives great. Tires are in great shape and the battery is new. The car has a large scratch and small dent on the trunk lid, & the exhaust is a bit loud, sounds like there may be a hole starting to develop. The paint and interior of the car are in very nice condition, but need to be cleaned. All the paint is original with the exception of the right front fender, which I was told was painted back in the 90's. I had my 11yr old son wash and vacuum the car for the pictures. No detailing, waxing or cleaning was done to present it any better. This car comes with every option available on the Mark VII, including the rare digital dash. Folks this is a nice car, which can be seen anytime during the auction for inspection. The owners live a few blocks from me, and you are welcome to speak with them after looking at the car, to discuss any questions you might have that I cannot answer. You can even see the original window sticker, which they still have in a glass frame on the wall. I believe they also have a new set of original mats that go with the car. |

Consumer Reports explains its disdain for infotainment
Thu, 20 Mar 2014One of the perks of reviewing all manner of cars and trucks is that we're exposed to all the different infotainment systems. Whether Cadillac's CUE, Chrysler's UConnect, BMW's iDrive or MyFord Touch, we sample each and every infotainment system on the market.
Not surprisingly, some are better than others. It seems consumers have come to a similar consensus, with Consumer Reports claiming that Ford and Lincoln, Cadillac and Honda offer the worst user infotainment experiences. Not surprisingly, you won't find much argument among the Autoblog staff.
Take a look below to see just what it is about the latest batch of infotainment systems that grinds CR's gears. After that, scroll down into Comments and let us know if you agree with the mag's views.
Farley says Lincoln learnings in China could influence brand in US
Tue, 14 May 2013Automotive News reports Lincoln is looking to Chinese luxury shoppers for customer service ideas. Those notions may eventually make their way back to the US in the form of new dealership training. Jim Farley, the executive vice president of global marketing for Ford, tells Automotive News, "In many ways, China will be a listening post for Lincoln in the United States. Soon China will be the largest luxury market in the world." Farley also said that in China, the Lincoln brand is currently where Lexus was when the Japanese brand first landed in the US.
Lincoln is slated to open its first Chinese dealerships in 2014. The brand is largely unknown in Asia, and Lincoln representatives have been visiting other luxury dealers in China for an idea of what buyers there expect. Lincoln has also studied non-automotive luxury shopping, paying special attention to high-end retail branding.
Of course, this whole song and dance feels awfully familiar. Lincoln has focused heavily on remaking the brand and recrafting its marketing here in the States, thus far without sufficient product to back the play. Lincoln is already late to the China game, and without the necessary products to lure buyers away from established bodies like Buick and Cadillac, Lincoln may be doomed to repeat its fate here in the US.
Lincoln to resurrect old nameplates for China?
Wed, 04 Dec 2013Judging 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.
