Summary:
A great cross country cruiser - very comfortable
Faults:
Air Conditioning Compressor ($400.00)
Power Steering Pump ($250.00)
Speedometer Cluster is starting to fail at 165,000 miles... sometimes registers the correct speed, and other times registers 0.
General Comments:
This vehicle is very comfortable.
The gas mileage is around 15-20mpg in the city, typical for this kind of car.
Check prior maintenance records! If there aren't any, be sure to have the car carefully inspected by a trusted mechanic! Lincoln vehicles are typically higher maintenance then others, especially if they've been mistreated.
The engine was replaced at 110,000 miles, before I bought the vehicle, costing the previous owner $2500.00.
The Power Steering Pump was replaced several times (cheap Ford product) and so was the alternator.
Overall, this vehicle is reliable. If you treat it well, it will treat you well.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
