Im In Billerica MA. The car is comming from Salem NH. (Im not going to tell you where the car is, it wont be there for me monday.) LOL
I have always been a town car guy. Bigger, roomy, thats all I have ever owned in the lincoln family. Just looking at it, and driveing it the 2 feet i did before i got it stuck, you can tell the cars last owner took care of it, and it must have been garaged. Im going to try to not drive it too much, as i just bought my 96, and i cant drive 3 cars. I dont want to get hooked, but i do want it. My dream mark would be a black 98, Loaded, I like the rear tail lights.
My buddy owned one, this is what he told me,
""I owned the final one, a '98 LSC Collector's~Edition, bought it brand new. Worst car I ever had. Constant trouble & Constant Problems! Ever hopefull, I kept it for 5 years, figuring sooner or later I'd get it all fixed! NOPE! Nobody in America would have ever purchased another Lincoln (maybe even Ford) after that mess. I did. (and) as bad as my "8" was, that is how great my T.C. is. If you buy the car to re-sell it, DO NOT DRIVE IT. Park it. Everytime one takes it out there's another problem. Some documented at NHTSA. The Air Conditioning will quit EVERY summer, yup, every summer. It's a $700.00 "fix". The brakes are defective, and EAT Rotors. New Rotorsare needed evey 4,000 miles. The driver's Seat literally rips ouuta the floor pan, shearing that floorpan with its bolts. The headlight cover leak and the condinsation blows the bulbs $300.00 each. You're good for 2 a year. The starters go every 3rd year and the radio is worthless on AM band. The neon in the taillamps breaks down and driver's side mirror had the automatic dimming and the substance that makes it work leaks out of the mirror, cause the layers of mirror seperates. The gook leaks down the drivers door and takes months to wear off. There no washing or buffing it off. The new correct replacement mirro is $700.00. The heated seats, however are great in it. They get so warm & toasty that they then burn out the wiring and no longer work at all. They have no timer, so only use them for 8 minutes. At the 10 minute level....toast is ready!!!""
