1997 Lincoln Town Car review from North America
"Even so I Love my very gorgeous Lincoln"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
On the highway my car overheated and I took it to a Lincoln dealerdhip in Oklahoma City, for diagnostic and repair. The repair/replacement of a cracked exhaust manifold (cost:$1279.00).
When I received my car it seemly idled rough. I was going to pull back into the dealership and it began to run smoothly when I was on the street so I continued on the way back to Colorado. A friend was driving and never noticed anything amiss.
Upon arriving home I noticed my car running rough again (although much more pronounced). And again it was at a low speed, as we had stopped the car to back it into the driveway. I took it into the local Lincoln dealer for diagnostic and repair. Shock set in as I was told my engine needed replacing. I have been told that due to the crack in the manifold, the coolant probably leaked into my engine area and overheated resulting in the bent rods and crack in the head.
General comments?
Faced with a $6300.00 repair bill to replace the destroyed engine.
I do not know if I should pay this additional sum or just give the beautifully cared for and in great condition in all other areas car, away to charity.
It only has 62000 miles on the odometer.
