I know what you mean, I love my Lincoln but my new wife and I need a house. So for now I'm selling my VTX motorcycle, my rifle and some other odds and ends to qualify with a big enough down payment.

I'm still contemplating selling all the Lincoln goodies; I would if the right price came around. I would love to have yours but I promised the wife before she was deployed that I wouldn't buy any more cars while she was gone

If you sell two you can buy one she would never have to know and stop buying

i like them, i just dont see why people arent allowed to sell them without getting all kinds of grief over the sale. like i said, its a mark VIII they come and go, like everything thing else. and i still like them, im just sick of owning them. once these two i have are gone, i'm done, unless i come across a cordovan 98 C.E with graphite interior, it will be my final mark VIII, if i never find one, i'll never own another one most likely, its the only one i havent had, i have had almost every color, every year, even a diamond anniversary 96 and a spring feature 98, so the cordovan C.E is the only thing left i havent had that i really love.

after taking apart god knows how many mark 8's I understand where Jamie might grow to not like the cars very much.

They are fun and rewarding to drive, when they work right.. when they dont, they are a PITA to fix sometimes.

yea..shuddup Jamie!

Posted by: devilchild

i did search for a long long time,... which is why i dont want to get rid of it...

and i understand where Jamie is coming from... if he took apart and fixed Rx-7's all day long im sure he'd get sick of fixing them too..

im already sick of searching for parts for mine.. which is why i started stockpiling extras...

but not even Jamie could get sick of the look or the feel of a Mark VIII..

Posted by: jamie97lsc

chicken, i searched for 8 years for this car,

this car was my dream car, and i had it all the way i wanted it, and was forced to sell it. once this car drove away, thats when my lincoln love went south. the 2 cars i have now in my eyes suck compared to my 98, i miss the car so much but it was either live out of it, or sell it and have a house. selling that car hurt, it was the nicest car i ever owned and the only car i put as much money and time into just to watch it leave. so thats why i feel the way i do now, i still like them i just cant replace the 98 so i dont want any marks now.

Your 98 looks almost exactly like mine Jaimie. 46,000 miles on mine to boot. Anyhow I am pretty made that devil is selling his right now. I saw his on here and promised myself I would buy it when he sells it. Not even 2 weeks after I get my 98 his goes up for sale...

where your 93 now?

Posted by: Staffamerica74

sitting, ready to be parted and parts sold on ebay, if anyones needs any black interior stuff besides the drivers seat let me know.

Why dont you find your beloved 98 and buy it back Jamie?

Posted by: GMAN

You know, I have to tell you everyone would be miserable if they sold their Marks. I sold my 93, but not before I bought my 97. Having two Marks for me was out of the question. I really wanted my Gen 2. Now here I was thinking of selling the Gen 2 and getting totally out of Marks. With gas prices being like they are, I know everyone is feeling the pinch in one way or another. Selling the Mark is not going to command an outrageous price that will make you smile

. So we might as well drive them and enjoy them. I fell in love with the Marks ever since I saw that commercial with the automatically lowering suspension. Being a father with two young kids it just wasn't practical. Now that I am older, and my kids are grown, I can enjoy them. Hell my son even owned and likes the Marks. I say keep your Marks. We're going to have to drive something, it may as well be a Mark.

because i'm in florida, the car is in kansas city, a young kid bought it off me and its already been through one bad hail storm. i wouldnt even be able to look at the car now, no thanks, plus i couldnt afford another one right now anyway, and like i said earlier, the only other mark i will ever consider buying in the future is a cordovan 98 collector edition, its the only mark i havent had yet!
