Faults:

This car had the check engine light on right after I bought it.

It also was low on oil and tranny fluid.

I took the car in to be serviced and found that the EGR valve as shot. The mechanic actually told me that they take a cap off and can clean the carbon out most of the time.

Only other thing is the car had a bad spark plug wire.

Only other thing I was warned about is a loose fitting gas cap can cause a check engine warning.

I love this car!!!

It's comfortable and rides great.

I am having the little bit of damage to the fender fixed and the car painted because I am keeping this car for a long time.

The ORIGINAL ENGINE has 680,000 miles on it! It has outlasted 2 paint jobs, 3 transmissions& all the leather seats.

I change the oil every 3,000 miles(usually less). I had it until July this year when I took it to a Ford dealer to have the power steering pump replaced. The manager there was stunned at how many miles are on it, he contacted some guy in Detroit& Ford bought it back for $25,000. It made it from Phoenix to Detroit w/no problems at all.

I loved that car. The only thing I wasn't crazy about was the acceleration, and the steering and braking systems. They felt as if they were for a vehicle one size smaller. I kinda figured it accelerated slow because it's a big car.

Faults:

When I bought the car, I replaced the entire air-conditioning system. It had "black death". I shopped around and bought all brand new components for under $500.00, that's compressor, condenser, evaporator, hoses, etc. I installed them myself and the local shop pulled a vacuum and charged it with r134a for $30.00.

I also replaced the leaky air bags with coil springs and bypassed the air system. It rides as good as the air bags did for $75.00.

Recently I had to replace the egr sensor $100.00 and the fuel pump $125.00 at 105,000 miles.

I bought this one owner car for $2500.00 It is immaculate inside and out. I have put many miles on it and have been very impressed with it's performance, fuel economy and wonderful ride. I have owned other Lincolns and wouldn't give up the ride for anything.

I have been very impressed by the small V8 motor. It runs strong and has very quick acceleration for a 4.6 liter motor.

Faults:

When I first bought the car the seat motors were not working, I waited about a month and they just started working again.

The power antenna stopped going down.

I also replaced the front right hub. this was easy and cheap to fix.

General Comments:

I bought this car for $1,000.00 and expected to put a lot more into it.

I have only spent about $400.00 on this car and it's almost cherry!!!

I'm not sure if other cars would be manufactured if everyone in the world could test drive a Lincoln.
