1995 Lincoln Town Car Cartier review from North America
"You can easily drive one of these cars for 10-years"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At 130,000 miles the RF power window regulator went out. Motor and regulator.
At 140,000 miles the left power window went out "Regulator" broke.
At 160,000 miles the car started to kind of shutter at 35-45mph...=new torque converter and trans rebuild, but it started to do the same thing 6,000 miles later and I was told that I needed to pour 8oz of anti-friction fluid modifier in the trans... it fixed it... I wish that they had told me this before I had paid $2400 for a rebuild. The car started to consume 2-5 quarts of oil between 5,000 miles changes at 165,000-miles.
General comments?
The car is 100% comfort and safety. I got the car from a deceased grandmother who bought it new. I love the seats and back-lite radio controls on the steering wheel. Huge trunk and back seat which allows me (6.2Feet) to push my seat back and the backseaters are still with lots of knee room. It seem to be very reliable..
