so the lady I rent from has a 90 lincoln mark 7 with the 5.0..

I just made an offer on the car since I took a job in hollywood working security and the roads up there are very shitty, and I dont want to drive the mercedes up there.

by parking the mercedes and driving the lincoln I would save 272 dollars every 6 months from insurance.

amistupid?

You need help sir.

Ford products are FTL, at least after 1973 anyway. Hope that thing doesn't have airbag suspension. My mom had a 90s Lincoln that was stock bagged and it was such a POS

Constant electrical issues. fans not turning on when supposed to, or not turning off, killing the battery. starter solenoid was sketchy, as with most Ford made cars. Worked whenever it felt like it. The bags had a slow leak and were EXTREMELY expensive to replace. Numerous things.

I'm with Tanya. Avoid that car for the air ride suspension alone. They are tough looking cars but electrical and suspension gremlins haunt this car. I used to work for Enterprise Rent a Car many many many years ago, and these spent a lot of time in the shop.

:barf::slap::runaway:

this thing????? i've never even seen one before do they have them in the US? where are you I don't recognize the flag.

It reminds me of the really shitty slow fat cars you sometimes get stuck stealing in San Andreas.

i think you can do better. i dont know ANYTHING about those cars but i dont think it looks good. its like a thunderbird...but...worse.

Man I saw one of those downtown the other day, painted a bright purple, with bright green shag carpet interior.... And like 80 speakers and subs...

:barf:

If you want a older Ford get a SHO. But those Lincolns are pretty much just bad luck...

Oh, and did I mention that there were several cases of these cars catching on fire in garages overnight? Seriously. I heard about that and BEGGED my mom to get rid of her bucket.

If it has air ride that shit is going to fail a lot. My dad used to have a 89' continental and he had to replace the shocks a few times before he gave in a upgraded to a new car. We also had issues with the doors failing to open because i think the motor that controls the locks broke a few times.

Get the body style after that. My grandpa has had one since new with absolutely no issues at all. 4.6L... I think it might even be the same motor as 94-98 Cobra.
