mileage I got my '95 in December '10 with 94,400 miles, it now has 101,220. It's a daily driver.

This is somewhat related, when I bought a used '95 MKVIII, it had no trunk key. The indoor button works, and the door button works. A replacement key, at the lowest cost so far, was $45.00. I'll just keep pushing the buttons.

Sometimes, when I'm driving down a freeway, I notice a tanker truck, usually a gasoline tanker, and I try to pull in behind it. The tanker trailer end is like a circumfrence mirror, and I see the reflection of my car right in the middle. I love the view of my grill in that reflection.

Replaced Antenna & Remote I replaced the original Motor Antenna with a Manual one since my radio won't turn off, and it didn't work. It was unplugged when I bought the car, and when I hooked it up and tried the radio control, the motor hummed but no movement. Maybe the nylon teeth are...

All the chrome looked good. I like the chrome grill, and the strip around the sides all looked good. The trunk has the "Mark VIII" emblem, but not the "LSC" . Did any Mark VIII's come with the chrome over each wheel fender, or is that custom? I will need a new center wheel cover for the...

This is it. It looked good to me!

Hi, I've been reading this column for about 2 months now, and I feel lucky. I bought a 1995 Mark VIII from a dealer on Dec 21, 2010, because I had a 92 Cougar with about 175,000 miles on it,and I wanted a new car. The dealer wanted $3250 for it, and it advertised 94,000 miles and the suspension...
