1993 Lincoln Mark VIII review from North America
"Buy it cheap, put 2 grand in it, have a incredible car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Air suspension at 98,000 miles.
Oil filter adapter gasket at 98,000 miles.
Broken drivers side door handle.
Fluid leaked from driver's side mirror, making the mirror blurry and difficult to see from.
Alternater at 75,000 miles.
Starter at 95,000 miles.
New plugs and wires at 75,000 miles.
General comments?
The car is 14 years old and it still jerks my head back everytime I hit the gas.
When I first bought this car, I thought it would be a heavy luxurious car with adequate power. Boy was I wrong, it has a lot of power.
The interior has also held up very well, no cracks in the dash.
I had to replace the climate control with a unit from a 96, because the 93 to 95 models had thin buttons that cracked.
It still has the original stereo with a factory 10 disc changer that has worked flawless since I have owned the vehicle. It even plays my burned CD's.
