In my humble opinion, the lincoln town car is the finest car on the road, period. That's why i have owned three of them. I am ready to move on to a newer one. I am the second owner of this one, bought from an elderly couple with extremely low miles, and i have racked up a lot of my own easy driving miles on it over the years. The engine/transmission give me no concern whatsoever. These cars go hundreds of thousands of miles without major repairs if driven gently. All cars burn oil, even new ones. Neither does it leak anything. No puddles of any kind in driveway. Had a routine front end alignment less than a year ago and needed no parts replaced. Window actuators (which inevitably go out on these cars) have all been replaced. The driver side door panel needs plastic retention pins replaced, which i clumsily broke when replacing the actuator on that side last summer. The air bag suspension was replaced with conventional coil springs several years ago (a common modification on used lincoln town cars when the air bags inevitably fail; results in absolutely no perceptible difference in the ride). Tires are in excellent condition. I want to emphasize that this is not one of those cars for sale that's just been sitting on the side of someone's house with expired tags for some mysterious reason known only to the seller. I have found that, more often than not, sellers of used cars are little more honest than dealers, who i rank down there with the amoeba. Be clear, this town car is not the beauty queen it once was, and also it will need some minor mechanical fixes sometime in the future. The a/c would blow icy cold if someone were to replace the actuator, which is located behind the dash and requires a pretty complete disassembly of the dash, from what i understand. Back when i used to be more inclined to work on things, i have fixed these. Repair should be very inexpensive but requires removal of the steering wheel, which i just am not inclined to do. As for appearances, the dogs and kids have taken a toll on the once-nice leather interior. I may negotiate some on the price, but i don't take kindly to anyone insulting my intelligence. Folks, i am a bit old fashioned and do not own a cell phone, so do not try to "text" me. My land line number is the best contact. I will take cash or cash. In other words, cash only -- no checks. One final thing just occurred to me. I have a huge weakness for vintage smith & wesson n-frame revolvers. Thanks for taking the time to read my ranting description. I had fun writing it.
