1995 Lincoln Mark VIII Base review from North America
"Old Man's Mustang"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My radiator fan went.
It needed a new thermostat and coolant flush.
The driver's side wheel bearing went.
The age of the wires cause them to fall apart durring a tune up which ended up taking 4 and a half hours.
General comments?
I love all of the electronics that are in this car. I has a computer center that tells you everything about the car.
The seats are fully powered with lumbar support. I love the air ride suspension. But if it goes I think I will have to say good bye to the car too.
I love the responsiveness this car has. It will do a brake stand no problem. I have beaten many fast cars on the highway and around town.
It gets pretty good mileage for the size of the car and the engine. And there is a pretty good after market for the car.
I love my Mark a lot, but I have to admit it has had it's share of problems in the short time I've owned it compared to my Celica. But I am glad I bought it.
I get stares from people all the time. And many of my friends are jealous of my car. Especially since I work for a dealership and I got it for $3,700.
