$hit 80K is like brand new just off the lot.

You better take it in for it's new car inspection...

The last car I had with 80K on it was my 85 Mark VII.

Tell us when you hit 100K or 200K... LOL

Im at 152,000 thinking about selling mine to buy my friends that has 110k on it. my concern with his car is that the coolant is dissappearing (i think the radiator has a leak) and that the trans doesnt work.

i do miss the '94. sunroof, cell phone. but the '98 is so classy looking. and those arnt the stock wheels, the old man who owned it put those on because the chrome flaked off. the '94 had 128k miles and the '98 has 93k.

yeh, my mom gave me the chance to buy the '94 before she traded it. there was a lot of things wrong with it, some little, some big. i decided not to take it but now i kinda wished i had.

I've mentioned this before, I'm at 190k.

I've considered getting a newer one, but what's the point? I've done all the tough stuff and maintenance already, if I get one with 110k, I'll have to start all over.

yah.. its weird.. it seems to feel better and better .. plus i had a buddy check it out and he said shift positioning sensor(?) needs to be replaced.. and other than that it felt strong.. plus it had been sitting for a while when i got it.. maybe it just needed a workout

I was gonna say the same thing about the badges, they appear to be off of a Gen1. Maybe early 97's used the 96 badging? It could've been rear-ended, but I'd think the newer badges would be far easier to find. I've only ever seen two 95-96 LSC's in person, but it seems like practically every 97-98 I see is an LSC.

Anyway, my Mark just rolled over 76k. That's nothing for these cars!

ahh that is right. o well, the dealership is ordering a new panel because the back doesnt light up and hopefully it will come with correct badges. i dunno if its suppost to be different or not. its a '98 tho. wierd.

All I can say is Miles don't scare me with these cars...

Here's a thought... After 130K miles many parts that wear out may have been replaced... you may find the cars in better shape than many under 100K

I love mine. I've alwyas said a 150K VIII is better than a <100K. Stuff that is prone to wearing out has done so, and won't need to be touched for a while.


Here are my babies
