If its worth more or not. Its all about the owner. If the owner thinks its the best thing out there. Then it is priceless. . .

:I with the top 2 the true value is in what the owner thinks.

Anyway who really cares!

I have $3,400 invested in my two I am more proud of how much car I have for $3,400 than if I paid $75k for the two new!

In 5 years a low mileage 1998 LSC will cost $5000 or less on the street.

All I know is that while "book" values on our Marks drop, parts and repair costs rise. I had my rear window shot out early Monday morning before Christmas. Of course, insurance paid for the replacement, but the glass had to be ordered from Ford. No aftermarket glass manufacturers had the part available or even make it. The list from the factory was $1,668.00!!! With installation, the bill to the insurance company was OVER $1,800.00!!! And I had to wait until the 29th to finally get it repaired. It took that long for the glass shop to get the part from the local Ford dealer. Sorry to ramble...my point is whatever its worth to you is what matters most.

:I

you think it will be remembered as a muscle car?

No, its a Lincoln. . . Also, its a little round. :rolleyes:

i dont want it remembered as a muscle car it isnt a f****n mustang its a LINCOLN if we wanted muscle cars we would have Pontiac G.T.Os this is a luxury sports car. sorry just a real petpeeve of mine making something of something it aint.

Eric

Yea But With 280hp And Quick

agreed but still a luxury sports car not a muscle car

Sports Car? Did I miss something. . .

OK -- Its a luxury car with muscle

It would be nice if we could do something to keep their value up, make getting parts easier.

The "Muscle-Car" era was as much about the times as it was about the cars. As much as I love it, I don't think that the Mark VIII was a defining car of the 90's.

it seems like older caddillac are holding there price well....mark viii were only made 3 yrs for gen 1 and 2yrs for gen 2 were i live you don't see many on the road,

Hey Mach8
Hold off on raising the value for a little while,i want to OWN an 8 first :-)

Mike

gull wing merc's?...is that not a luxo sports coupe? (last one i saw sell for was $310,000). there is and always will be a market for lsc's. but by the time the mk8 gets into that market gasolene will not be arround anymore and you couldnt drive it anyways, muchless sell it becasue of that.
