1997 Lincoln Mark VIII. Evergreen Pearl with gray leather interior. 140k miles. Power windows, power door locks, power seats, power tilt and telescopic steering column, cruise control, cold A/C, rear defogger, air ride suspension, moon roof, AM/FM Cassette with 6 Disc CD changer in trunk. 
Car has the 4.6 liter all aluminum 4 cam 32 valve V8 rated at 280 horsepower, and the 4R70W automatic transmission. Four wheel independent suspension and four wheel disc brakes. Car averages mid 20 mpg highway. 
I have replaced both upper and lower control arms with ball joints. The nifty neon trunk mounted tail/brake light works, and is a rather pricey item all by itself. 
Car is currently being driven on an average of 50 miles per day currently. Hate to sell, but need a truck. 
 
Car is 18 years old and does need some work:

* The blend door that opens to allow the heater to work is stuck shut. No heat until you either manually open it, or fix it. Air conditioning will freeze you out.

* Car has cosmetic damage to right front fender, door, and bottom of right quarter panel ahead of the wheel. I have another door, and fender that go with the car for the asking price. 

* The car has two new rear tires, and two good front tires. It does need a four wheel alingment since the control arms were replaced and it isn't in check now. 

* The air ride suspension will leak down in the front after being parked for a few hours. It will pump back up after starting the car up, and rides very nicely afterwards. 

* The moon roof does not open. And on a positive not, it does not leak either. 

* Drivers side seat motor isn't working. Seat back will tilt back and front, but the seat itself will not move forward, or rearward. 

* Interior "A"-pillar molding on drivers sidfe is tan, not gray like the rest of the interior. 

* Drivers seat will not move forward or backward. It will recline, and the bottom moves up and down. 

Priced far below the Kelley Blue Book price in "Fair' condition, and car is way nicer than "Fair".

 Car is located in the coastal town of Darien, Georgia (about one hour south of Savannah right off of I-95). Car can be driven home as is, but would recommend a four wheel alignment before taking a long trip. Vehicle must be paid in full within ten days of the auctions end. Car can be stored up to 30 days unless you and I make prior arrangements.

NHTSA will investigate some Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ models for power steering issue

Tue, 07 Oct 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening an investigation into the 2010-2012 Ford Fusion, Fusion Hybrid and Lincoln MKZ, the 2012 MKZ Hybrid and 2011 Mercury Milan because the agency has hundreds of complaints of electric power steering failure in these models.
According to NHTSA's data, it has received 508 complaints of the power steering allegedly suddenly malfunctioning and resulting in increased effort to turn the wheel. In four incidents, these failures resulted in loss of control and crashes. According to the reports, in some cases a power steering warning message came on as the fault occurred, and other times the system restored itself by turning off and then restarting the vehicle. NHTSA said it has also received further field report data from Ford, but that information hasn't been publicly released yet.
For the moment, there isn't a recall for this failure on these models. NHTSA is just investigating them to "assess the scope, frequency and safety consequences of the alleged defect," and the agency says an estimated 938,000 vehicles could potentially be affected.

Lincoln needs a farewell address, not a new marketing plan

Tue, 09 Apr 2013


The trouble with Ford's Lincoln brand is that no one cares about it any more.
Not long after I heard that Mark LaNeve, chief operating officer of Ford agency Team Detroit, was moving to take over direct operations of the New York ad agency Hudson Rouge for Lincoln, I heard that JCPenney CEO Ron Johnson was ousted. The two events are connected.

Ford fixing 130k vehicles in three recalls

Wed, Oct 28 2015

Ford is issuing three new safety campaigns that cover a total of 130,801 vehicles in North America, but the company has no reports of accidents, injuries, or fires from any of these issues. The largest of these campaigns covers 128,823 examples of the 2009-2010 Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX that are currently registered or originally sold in rust-prone areas of North America, including 110,636 in the US. On these crossovers, "corrosion under the reinforcement brackets where the fuel tank is mounted" can potentially result in a fuel leak. To fix the issue, dealers will inspect the tank and will repair or replace it as necessary. The affected locations are: Connecticut, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, West Virginia, Wisconsin; and the Canadian provinces of New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, and Quebec. Ford is also recalling 1,906 North American examples of the 2016 Mustang, including 1,900 in the US, because of possible damage to some components during shipping to the factory. On the affected pony cars, "dealers will replace front and rear seat belt assemblies, rear seat buckle assemblies, and child tethers," the company says in its statement. Finally, the smallest campaign is for 72 units of the 2016 Ford E-Series cutaway and chassis cab in North America, including 65 in the US. On these, the trailer brakes don't activate when pressing the brake pedal, and dealers need to update the powertrain control module software.
