1989 Lincoln Continental Signature Series review from North America
"A sofa car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The ABS motor broke.
I replaced 2 inners and 1 bearing, and the idle controller.
General comments?
It is a good car that doesn't cost much to repair, it's a 3.8 just like the Windstar. Except the ABS system and the suspension...
The ABS motor for an example at the dealer cost $3000 Can. It is a sophisticated system. I have nothing bad to say, except for that, for the Lincoln Continental. The other things, everything is normal (brake pads, alternator...)
