Intake manifold cracked--known engineering problem with the car--cost me $900.
Shocks replaced.
Upper and lower ball joints replaced--factory parts are junk, use aftermarket replacements.
Tires, the factory Michelins are outstanding and have a whitewall!
Transmission flaking out--common to need a new transmission at 125k-150k.
The most luxurious car on the market. I've owned Benzes, a 93 Town Car, and my family members own trucks and other sedans. The Town Car is the hands down winner for comfort, the most space, and the easiest to drive/park.
Engine speed is decent considering the weight and size of the car. I added an aftermarket engine computer chip and it dramatically improved the acceleration of the car (+10hp/+22lbsft). A number of engineering problems Ford has let slip through and recalled only on Taxi/Fleet/Limo-type vehicles. If I buy another Lincoln, it will be on one of those programs to ensure proper warranty service.
All in all, with a few faults that every car has, it's one of the best cars on the road today!

My Uncle just aquired a 1996 Town Car Signature this week. He replaced a 1990 version (He is a Lincoln guy.) As a GM guy my self, I must give FO.MO.CO. credit for retaining the last real American Luxury Car format. I am a HUGE fan of the old "sqaure style" (1980-1992) Cadillac Broughams. Caddy restyled the RWD cars in '93 as a reaction to the '90 Town Car, But The Lincoln was simply better styled. (As was Buick's Roadmaster.) The 1996 version's interior is a nice update. For those who like the more modern styling (inside & out) But demand a REAL rear wheel drive & full-sized car The 1990-1997 Town Cars, and The 1992-1995 Buick Roadmasters are it. Long Live Luxus Americanus!
Take a 95-97 Town Car Cartier or a 94-96 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham and you will have a real car.
93 Fleetwood didn't have the Corvette engine. I think if my memory serves me, the fleetwood is 224-inches long, which is about 6-inches longer then the Town Car.
I think I'd get the Town Car because of the steering wheel controls.
The Fleetwood is a heavy 4447-lbs of safety while the town car is around 4200-lbs.
Best cars ever built..
Hi, I've got a 1995 Lincoln town-car that been modified to protect you. It has armored and bulletproof windows and body. I got the car new with only 987 miles on the dash, and this has been a great car to me and my girlfriend.
