1997 Lincoln Continental 32valve review from North America
"Find your self one fast!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only thing I have replaced on my car is the Brakes and Tires. Everything else has been flawless.
General comments?
My 1997 Continental has ran great for me. I did know the previous owner which always helps. It also helped knowing that she returned to get a Brand New Town Car so I really knew she must have been happy with Lincoln. My car has been all over the US. From NY, to CA, MN to TX. I put a lot of miles on my vehicles and usually am able to tell if it is a worth vehicle. I usually trade or sell off my vehicles when they hit around 100-120K, but this one has not cost me anything, but regular maintence so it is surely a keeper. I would recommend a Lincoln to anyone as this has been a very durable car. I get about 20-21 mpg on average with city and highway driving. I am only 25 and love this car. My friends usually try to make fun of me for driving a grandma vehicle until they see the luxary in it and the "power" it holds inside. As far as I can see from a 1997 to a 2004 vehicle the only "gadget" it is missing is the GPS! GREAT CAR!!
