Hello everyone I just joined these forums.
I have a 1979 Lincoln Continental and it only gets like 8 mpg city and I just can't afford it. So I am selling it and I am planning on buying a 90-97 (preferably not 90-92 because of the larger headlight design) TC.
I know they generally get about 18 city mpg. Perhaps one of those economy performance chips would help?
I will run it on Mobil Synthetic, either 5W30 or 10W30? I live in Colorado.
I also plan on putting a K&N filter in, expensive but they seem well worth it, I have one in my '79.
I am going to put 20" chrome rims on.
I was originally considering a 90s Cadillac with the Northstar but decided against it due to the higher maintenance costs.
I prefer the 90-97 TC models over the newer ones because of the squarer style.
I am just interested in some rather common problems and how much they are normally to repair. Or any other info you have would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for reading and thank you for any info you may have.
