Hello - This is a rock solid car that is ready to enjoy immediately, drive anywhere, free of any concerns.  Absolutely zero mechanical issues and everything works great.

The car starts, runs, drives, turns, stops, handles...without flaw and recently completed a 530 mile trip without a whimper.

A/C is ice cold, ALL power options work perfectly:

  • Both windows go up and down quickly including the mini-vent windows
  • Same for all six directions for both seats
  • Power door locks are immediate and strong
  • Intermittent wipers work as new, so does the washer fluid pump, squirters
  • Headlight doors open and close smoothly
  • AM/FM/8-track radio is 100% functional including the 8-track player (actually sounds good!)
  • Still has the correct tri-axial power antenna that works with the factory CB radio, and it operates smoothly
  • Horn and cruise controls, all check
  • Turn signals, brake lights, hi/low beams, all good
  • Even the clock keeps perfect time

Tires are fairly new with less than 4000 miles.  Also new shocks, transmission rebuild, tune-up, battery and ignition module....much more.   Receipts for all new parts and professional maintenance and service over past 3 years add up to the asking price of $4750.

Paint on the car is a ten footer.  It still shines very nicely but has several touch-ups, scratches, couple door dings, etc...that are easy to see on close inspection.  I say drive it and enjoy as is, but if you want to show it or must have new looking paint, it would have to be done and the car is certainly worthy of it.   The only tiny specs of rust visible anywhere are in the lower left corner of the rear bumper, shown in a close-up.   No signs of collision or rust damage elsewhere.   The original Coach Roof vinyl top is perfect.

Interior shows wear and separated seams in the very lower outer corner of the driver's seat, but this is repairable, no tears, holes, etc.   The interior otherwise is excellent; carpets, original floor mats, headliner, door panels, etc..all beautiful. 

Engine compartment and undercarriage are also solid;  again, not new or show quality, but very very nice - I'd say better than average driver quality.

I am advertising in several places, will end the auction immediately if it sells locally.  We are located in Menasha, WI which is about 1.5 hour north of Milwaukee.   I have plenty more pictures; please call me at 920-205-1295 to have them sent to you.   I will happily accommodate any personal inspection of the car, and in fact strongly prefer it.   There are several services available that will do this for a reasonable fee, or maybe try to find a forum member or similar to come for a test drive.   I will drive up to an hour or so to help make this happen for you.   I've never sold a car on ebay before, always preferring to deal in person  -  I want you to be happy with the car!   Any questions, requests for more pictures, will be answered quickly.   Working on a video to post online also - have been frustrated with this so far, but still trying...

Motor on,

Perry

Lincoln MKC configurator comes alive

Tue, 21 Jan 2014

Lincoln has already announced most of the trim level and option pricing for its upcoming 2015 MKC due out this summer, and now it has launched a configurator allowing prospective buyers to get a better idea of how this new model will stack up against other compact luxury crossovers. We already knew that the MKC will have a starting price of $33,995, but now we know that its price includes a destination charge of $895.
Models equipped with the base 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine come standard with the Premiere package - $33,100 for front-wheel drive and $35,595 for all-wheel drive. Both models offer equipment upgrades from the Select and Reserve packages. The $3,230 Select package adds features like leather seats, power passenger seat, folding and heated door mirrors and painted 18-inch wheels, while the pricier $6,935 Reserve package adds in heated and cooled front seats, panoramic roof, hands-free liftgate, two-tone wheels and an embedded modem (providing features such as remote lock and unlock, vehicle finder and pre-conditioning).
Opting for the new 2.3-liter EcoBoost inline-four raises the base price to $39,965, and it comes standard with all-wheel drive and all of the equipment in the Select package; the Reserve package is still optional. All models can be further optioned up with the $2,235 Technology Package (adding adaptive cruise, active park assist and lane keeping system) and the $580 Climate Package (heated rear seats and steering wheel, auto high beams and rain-sensing wipers). Checking all the options, a fully loaded 2015 MKC with the 2.3-liter EcoBoost will have a total MSRP of $47,715.

Ford to ramp up Lincoln rollout in China in bid to catch rivals

Thu, Apr 12 2018

DETROIT/BEIJING — Ford Motor Co's premium Lincoln brand plans to build as many as five new vehicles in China by 2022, according to two U.S. sources, in a move to expand sales in the world's largest vehicle market that would also blunt the impact of trade U.S.-China trade spats. Ford has said it plans to build an all-new sport utility vehicle in China by the end of 2019, however the company has not detailed future production plans for the Lincoln brand in China beyond that. "Our localization plans to support the China market are on track and will serve to further drive Lincoln's growth in China," Lincoln spokeswoman Angie Kozleski said. "Beyond that, it would be premature to discuss our future product and production plans or timing." Sources familiar with Ford's production plans told Reuters the automaker now expects to begin building the new Lincoln Aviator in China in late 2019 or early 2020, along with replacements for the MKC compact crossover and the MKZ midsize sedan, followed in 2021 by the all-new Nautilus, which replaces the Lincoln MKX crossover. A fifth model, a small coupe-like crossover, is tentatively slated for production in China in 2022, the sources said. Ford has much to lose if the war of words over trade between China and U.S. President Donald Trump escalates into a full-blown tariff war. Last year, it shipped about 80,000 vehicles to China from North America, more than half of them Lincolns to support the brand's growth. All Lincoln vehicles that Ford now sells in China are brought in from North America. Even if China does reduce its 25 percent tariff on imported vehicles - as Chinese President Xi Jinping promised on Tuesday - it is not clear that would mean a big, long-term increase in Fords and Lincolns made in U.S. factories heading to Chinese showrooms. Ford is pursuing long-range plans to build more vehicles in China to serve a market that is now roughly 60 percent larger than the U.S. market, and projected to keep growing. But it is playing catch up to hometown rival General Motors Co and German luxury brands including Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz, which have invested heavily in Chinese production in recent years as a form of insurance against trade, political and currency gyrations and to lower price points for their premium cars.

Autoblog's Editors' Picks: Our complete list of the best new vehicles

Mon, May 13 2024

It's not easy to earn an “EditorsÂ’ Picks” at Autoblog as part of the rating and review process that every new vehicle goes through. Our editors have been at it a long time, which means weÂ’ve driven and reviewed virtually every new car you can go buy on the dealer lot. There are disagreements, of course, and all vehicles have their strengths and weaknesses, but this list features what we think are the best new vehicles chosen by Autoblog editors. We started this formal review process back in 2018, so there's quite of few of them now. So what does it mean to be an EditorsÂ’ Pick? In short, it means itÂ’s a car that we can highly recommend purchasing. There may be one, multiple, or even zero vehicles in any given segment that we give the green light to. What really matters is that itÂ’s a vehicle that weÂ’d tell a friend or family member to go buy if theyÂ’re considering it, because itÂ’s a very good car. The best way to use this list is is with the navigation links below. Click on a segment, and you'll quickly arrive at the top rated pickup truck or SUV, for example. Use the back button to return to these links and search in another segment, like sedans. If youÂ’ve been keeping up with our monthly series of the latest vehicles to earn EditorsÂ’ Pick status, youÂ’re likely going to be familiar with this list already. If not, welcome to the complete list that weÂ’ll be keeping updated as vehicles enter (and others perhaps exit) the good graces of our editorial team. We rate a new car — giving it a numerical score out of 10 — every time thereÂ’s a significant refresh or if it happens to be an all-new model. Any given vehicle may be impressive on a first drive, but we wait until itÂ’s in the hands of our editors to put it through the same type of testing as every other vehicle that rolls through our test fleet before giving it the EditorsÂ’ Pick badge. This ensures consistency and allows more voices to be heard on each individual model. And just so you donÂ’t think weÂ’ve skipped trims or variants of a model, we hand out the EditorsÂ’ Pick based on the overarching model to keep things consistent. So, when you read that the 3 Series is an EditorsÂ’ Pick, yes, that includes the 330i to the M3 and all the variants in between. If thereÂ’s a particular version of that car we vehemently disagree with, we make sure to call that out.
