 This was our daily driver, which still drives (but not legally due to no lights or taillights on one side), until a little water on the pavement decided to send us into the wires that separate the lanes on the interstate...thank goodness the wires were there though.  We had only comprehensive and liability as the car has over 100k miles.  Thus, there is no insurance involvement with this auto.  What you have is a dedicated owner who wants to recoup some of the value of the automobile by providing someone with a good autobody project.  What you get is an incredibly quick and fast car with all the bells and whistles. 

Feel free to email me that you want me to call you...or just correspond via ebay's email.

The positives:

We own this car free and clear...no loan.  Thus, we have title in hand.

The tires have about 15k on them...rated at 60k if my memory serves me correctly.  (the rims on one side did get a little rash from the cable, and thus may need to be rebalanced and spiffed up)

Brakes and rotors all have less than 10k on them.

The car can still drive...we drove it 50 miles home after the accident.  Everything still seems to work fine except the air conditioning (because the condenser  located in the front of the radiator was punctured) and of course the lights and taillights broken in the crash..  So we drove it home without the air on so as to not ruin anything else related to the air conditioning.

We have owned this car for the last approximately 100,000 miles and have used nothing but synthetic oil every 4-5k miles.

The air bags did NOT go off, as the bumpers were not compressed.  Wires wrapped around above the bumpers.

The trunk closes and opens, all four doors open and close, even the hood latches.  When we drove it home we put a ratchet strap over it just in case it tried to release.

The negatives:

There are a lot of body panels injured...But,  we kept all of the pieces that we could find and they are in the trunk.

The top half of the grill in front was pushed in toward the engine, but not far enough to stop operation of the fan or any other engine mounted apparatus such as alternator. There was no interference at all.

How the demise of Lincoln's Town Car has kick-started a limo revolution

Sun, 30 Dec 2012

The deaths of the Ford Crown Victoria and the Lincoln Town Car have meant overhauls of three high-profile American fleets: police, taxi and livery car. Just as police fleets are more open to considering other options and a Nissan van is the new face of the NYC taxi, livery car companies are looking at replacements for the Town Car beyond The Blue Oval. Ford, via Lincoln, has made an MKT Town Car (pictured), but an article in the Detroit News claims "it has failed to win over most of the big limousine companies." The upstarts trying to move in include livery and limo editions of the Cadillac XTS, and livery specifications of the Toyota Avalon and Chrysler 300.
Each of those challengers, however, faces challenges. The Town Car was a workhorse, American, rear-wheel-drive sedan with plenty of rear legroom. Cadillac has been in the livery space before but with decontented models that were about selling the brand, not its luxury. It is taking the opposite approach with the XTS, pointing out that its livery edition is "contented in the upper half of the XTS range." Still, the CEO of Michigan's largest livery company says "it's quite a bit smaller than what we're used to," and he also prefers rear-wheel drive.
The Chrysler 300 is rear-wheel drive, and American, which matters to some companies, but Chrysler hasn't yet revealed the livery package for it. The livery Avalon marks Toyota's first time getting into that business in the US, a natural step after having done so well with taxi clients and with the Town Car out of the way. Still, the livery client is a different to taxi buyers, so the Avalon could face other soft-touch hurdles.

Reuss says GM diesel plans are still on pace

Fri, Oct 16 2015

General Motors is not going to let Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal ruin its plans for a new line of efficient, torquey oil-burners, the company's Executive Vice President Mark Reuss said at a recent press event. "No way," Reuss responded when asked about cancelling the upcoming diesel-powered Chevrolet Cruze and other vehicles. "The Cruze Diesel is too good not to do it." Slated for 2017, the compact is just the latest member of a diesel offensive that initially kicked off with the first Cruze Diesel and most recently saw the introduction of the oil-burning Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon. Reuss also reassured those in attendance that there was "no delay" in development of Cadillac's diesel lineup. Cadillac is working on a line of four- and six-cylinder turbodiesels for Europe. They'd make their way into the US market, too, eventually. "It's a question of timing," Reuss said, according to Car and Driver. Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal has caused automakers across the globe to at least reanalyze their diesel strategy. Jaguar Land Rover, which is preparing several diesel-powered models for the US market, went on record late last month to reaffirm its commitment to diesel.
