Depends on the weather, does not go out in the snow. My 26 mile commute is through the country.
I like the style. Also like going to a local show or cruise and I'll have the only M7 there.
There's always something needing your $$$ thrown at it.

What I like best about this Mark VII - The styling, comfort, looks on other peoples faces as they try to figure out what it is.

Rating - 5 It's my baby, I've been working on it since I was 14.

Year and Model - 1989 Mark VII LSC
Sex and Age - Male 17

What I like best about this Mark VII - The styling, comfort, uniqueness, low miles
What I like least about this Mark VII - Not driven hard enough to have weak points.

- Male 22
- 15 to 25 mpd
- Sport and luxury combined, currently a truly unique looking car you don't see that often.
- I dislike the suspension problems this car is plagued with, the deterioration of the bucket seating. The seats aren't a problem in my current LSC(alternate factory seating option installed) but was a problem in my brothers 89 LSC. And from what I can tell a big problem for A LOT of owners.

-I drive it 5k miles a year or so on combined highway and city. It's taken off the road in winter so it is a 3 season car at best. I'm usually a fast and aggressive driver.
-I love the styling, handling, sport/luxury balance. I also love the air suspension, ABS, and all the other gadgets everyone else wants to rip out.
-Thin leather, E6 heads, lack of rear seat head and leg room, and lack of trunk space.
-5 Stars

Like best about the MarkVII === Better milage than my 79 Town Car
...........................................(17 city /24 highway) vs (10 city 16 highway)

............................................The MkVII REALLY Handles

I love my Mark VII

I have had it for about two months now. My mom liked is so much she bought one as well.

Mine badly needs front and rear control arm bushings, the driver side window and sunroof deosn't work, the heater core is dying, and the ABS light just came on. I am missing some of the interior and exterior plastic trim and the headliner could use refreshing.

BUT Despite all of this

-Like best? Love the look, the style, the color (dark metallic blue w. blue interior.) Love the ride. And owning a unique classic car, I never see any.
-Like least? Trying to fix the air ride.
-Rating. *****! No doubt!

All my previous vehicles were something practical to use with my jobs, like trucks and vans. When I finally decided to buy a car just to ride and just to own something I really like, I bought a Mark VII. Learning how to fix it hasn't been easy, but i'm gitting it.

Polling Mark VII Owners

Year / Model: 1986 Lincoln Mark VII -- Bill Blass

Gender: Female 29

Miles Per Day: Commute car. About 40 round trip, freeway.

What I like best about Mark VII: My attitude.

The car was a Christmas present. I hated it and wondered how I would be able to dump it on someone else. It was ugly! It had rat droppings on the floor, dead wasps on the back sill, and cob webs everywhere. Dirty, disgusting, filthy, wreck from neglect. The paint peeling off the hood, roof, and trunk lid. Also, the upholstery cracked and chunks missing. Headiner, back window silll, and quarter panels gone. Steering wheel, plastic trims, and door panels, looked like a greese monkey had run amok throughout the car.

I pulled the seats out, installed a new covering for the back window, quarter panels and head liner. Steam cleaned carpets. Cleaned and polished the outside.

Now, I look at her and smile because she is a class act with subtle lines, long snout, gleaming chrome. I enjoy the smooth and comfortable ride. It is like floating on a marshmellow. I also like the quiet motor with strong accerllation.

What I don't like about my Mark VII: Money pit to restore. Difficult finding replacement parts. Too many problems and too difficult to diagnose and fix.

-Female / 50 + six days (time for a tattoo!)
-20+/- city, depending on what a kid needs
-It matches the Matchbox (r?) version I found in the dirt about 14 years ago...LOVE that body style!
-It seems to be nearly as expensive to maintain as teenagers
-When I bought it, 2 years ago, a High 5. Now, I'm not so sure...but, my Dad loves it and if all goes well, he'll be the happy owner by Father's Day!
