Faults:

Replacement of the rear air-springs was required at 190,000. A suggestion to all for replacement of the "Costly replacement of the air-springs" there is a Company in Florida "Suncore Industries" who sells aftermarket new airsprings for a very reasonable amount. You can attain information on replacing them yourself from your public library in the "Mitchell" manuals I changed my rear springs in approximately 1 and a half hours, was very easy.

Have lost both power window motors.

General Comments:

I feel this is an outstanding car, It has Koni shocks and struts that were originally installed on the car, and are still in excellent condition.

Keeping your Air-suspension springs clean and lightly siliconed I feel is essential, as dirt, salt, and sand will obviously damage the rubber leading to cracks and leakage.

Faults:

I replaced the front air-bag suspension components at 100,000 miles.

Both electric window motors have been replaced.

The mufflers went bad at 95,000 miles, so I replaced the exhaust with a cross-over X-pipe going into a straight pipe exhaust out of the back.

General Comments:

Since the Lincoln Mark VII comes with a good power plant, the 302 5.0L V8, it is easy to increase horsepower with modifications.

I installed a Holley SysteMAX engine package that took my engine from a stock 225 horse power, to an awesome 355 horse power rating!

As long as the suspension in your Lincoln holds out, your ride will be silky smooth. I've ridden in a lot of cars, and I believe that only Lincoln can provide that smooth of a ride.

The Mark VII handles cornering very well, considering it is a heavy car.

The stock 225 hp can propel the car very well, especially at high speeds. I wanted an original car to take to the drag strip. People don't believe that I am in a Lincoln running in the low to mid thirteens in the quarter-mile.

Faults:

I have to replace the air suspension bags.

My electrical system has some faults and I expect a failure soon.

I had the alternator replaced at 45.000 miles.

My all exhausting system is wrecked up and I can't find a dealer to fix it with the original parts here in Romania.

High gas consumption.

General Comments:

This is one of the best cars I ever drive... The performance is way better than (most) of the BMW and Benz, considering that is an 1989 model.

The front side is very roomy.

I run the engine at 6.000 RPM and get to over 200 km/h on highways in no-time. Is a true muscle car, and, considering to the cost, I would recomend it to all horse-power freaks!

The problem is that an American car is very very very expensive to maintain here in Romania, considering that here is only one dealer and it's not even a Lincoln dealer.. Is a Ford dealer..

Overall, I consider this car a masterpiece.. Great work by Ford.

Faults:

When I bought this car, it needed:

Hood hinges.

Front panel.

Shocks.

General Comments:

This is a great car with a very nice engine. I wish to buy another Mark VII when this one is done.

I put a nice sound system into it, and all of my friends love it.

I took it to the quarter mile and it did 15.99 seconds. It's a great car for anyone.
