with my Lincoln.
General comments?
When I first saw my 1998 Lincoln Continental on the car lot, I was first attracted by the look of the elegant chrome grille. I always judge a car by the looks of a nice front view of a car as that is what we all see coming toward us. If a car has any style you will know it by its first look, usually coming at you.
I was also impressed by the comfort of the leather seats and the quality of the interior. It was very spacious as I was comparing it to a large Expedition I also drive.
This car was so attractive I thought it was a recent model. Maybe a 2002 or newer. I was surprised it was a 1998 model. The price was better than right, I bought it.
I was the second owner, and it was very obvious the first owner loved this car. I know when a car is well taken care of. At 64,000 miles it still had the new car smell.
If anyone loves gadgets, this car is for you. Pick your steering mode, check your direction on the rear-view mirror, it has a built in compass. The memory seats are convenient, set them and the seats automatically return to its position each time.
This car feels like it is floating through the air, it feels effortless to drive. I am impressed by the all over feel of this car. The 1998 Lincoln Continental has a 4.6 liter v-8 engine with plenty of power, acceleration, and rolls effortlessly on the express lanes. I love this car.
