1997 Lincoln Mark VIII. Evergreen Pearl with gray leather interior. Built at the Wixom, Michigan assembly plant, and sold new in Marietta, Georgia, this car has been in Georgia its whole life. 140k miles. Power windows, power door locks, power seats, power tilt and telescopic steering column, cruise control, cold A/C, rear defogger, air ride suspension, moon roof, AM/FM Cassette with 6 Disc CD changer in trunk. The radio quit working. I still have CDs in the changer I can't get out. 
Car has the 4.6 liter all aluminum 4 cam 32 valve V8 rated at 280 horsepower, and the 4R70W automatic transmission. Four wheel independent suspension and four wheel disc brakes. Car averages mid 20 mpg highway. 
I have replaced both upper and lower control arms with ball joints. The nifty neon trunk mounted tail/brake light works, and is a rather pricey item all by itself. 
Car is currently being driven on an average of 50 miles per day currently. 
 
Car is 18 years old and does need some work:

* The blend door that opens to allow the heater to work is stuck shut. No heat until you either manually open it, or fix it. Air conditioning will freeze you out.

* Car has cosmetic damage to right front fender, door, and bottom of right quarter panel ahead of the wheel. I have another door, and fender that go with the car for the asking price. 

* Good tires. It does need a four wheel alignment since the control arms were replaced and it isn't in check now. 

* The air ride suspension will leak down in the front after being parked for a few hours. It will pump back up after starting the car up, and rides very nicely afterwards. 

* The moon roof does not open. And on a positive not, it does not leak either. 

* Drivers side seat motor isn't working. Seat back will tilt back and front, but the seat itself will not move forward, or rearward. 

* Interior "A"-pillar molding on drivers side is tan, not gray like the rest of the interior. 

* Drivers seat will not move forward or backward. It will recline, and the bottom moves up and down. 

Priced far below the Kelley Blue Book price in "Fair' condition, and car is way nicer than "Fair".

 Car is located in the coastal town of Darien, Georgia (about one hour south of Savannah right off of I-95). Car can be driven home as is. Vehicle must be paid in full within ten days of the auctions end. Car can be stored up to 30 days unless you and I make prior arrangements.

Ford to add Android Auto and CarPlay to 2016 SYNC 3 cars via update

Fri, May 19 2017

Ford is updating a large number of 2016 model year cars equipped with SYNC 3 infotainment software, adding Android Auto and CarPlay to the vehicles with a free, over-the-air update via Wi-Fi, or using either USB or going through their dealer. The upgrade will be available for around 800,000 vehicles in total, giving a huge number of Ford car owners the chance to get big infotainment improvements without having to buy a newer model car. The OTA update option is also a big step for Ford – it's the company's first for software ever, and it's one of the major reasons that Ford recently hired around 400 new mobile smartphone engineers, the company tells me. For CarPlay, users will still also need to upgrade their vehicle's USB hub to make this work (which will also incur a dealer visit and a cost), but for those on Android, all that's required is a simple software installation. The USB install method is also faster, but the Wi-Fi update option is the start of the company's efforts to really increase its OTA update program, which will be used for security improvements as well as infotainment bumps. Even with a dealer visit and hardware upgrade for CarPlay, this sounds like a worthwhile thing for 2016 vehicle owners to do. CarPlay and Android Auto are huge upgrades vs. most in-car software, offering navigation and entertainment options that follow you from your phone to your car. Retroactively offering this kind of thing to car owners is a definite change in tone for carmakers, since they typically use these kinds of things as incentives to get people interested in vehicle model updates. But as data becomes increasingly important to automakers as a business, it makes sense to encourage greater in-car use of devices.Written by Darrell Etherington for TechCrunchRelated Video: Auto News Ford Lincoln Technology Infotainment android

Ford applies to trademark term 'Lincoln eGlide'

Thu, Apr 30 2020

There's an epilogue to Ford's recent announcement that it's giving up on a battery-electric Lincoln co-developed with Rivian. The MachEClub forum discovered that just a week ago, Ford applied with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to trademark the term "Lincoln eGlide." The goods and services category details use for "Motor vehicles, namely, passenger automobiles, sport utility vehicles, electric vehicles and structural parts and fittings; electric vehicles, namely, passenger automobiles, sport utility vehicles, and structural parts and fittings." Living in an age where a small "e" is shorthand for "electric," and Ford having specified electric vehicles in the patent, the go-to guess is that this is for an electric vehicle. The inclusion of non-electric motor vehicles injects a little fuzziness. Tesla's trademark on the Model S specifies "electric automobiles" only, whereas Rivian's trademark for the R1T seeks coverage for "land vehicles" and just about every part found in or on a land vehicle.   Since Ford must have known about the end of the Rivian effort when it applied for the trademark, we suppose Lincoln has got some kind of eGlide coming no matter what. Lincoln refers to the theme of its latest cabin designs, as in the Aviator and Corsair, "Quiet Flight," and the road-scanning adaptive suspension on the Lincoln Aviator is called "Air Glide," neither term being trademarked. This leads our suspicions to eGlide becoming a vehicle component that could potentially serve a model with any powertrain, not necessarily battery-electric only, and eGlide won't be the name of the Lincoln EV that Ford says is still on the way. Another clue is that Ford included the word "Lincoln" in the term. Trademarked vehicle names such as Aviator and Corsair don't include the make, but services for vehicles do, such as the trademarks for Lincoln Connect and Lincoln Co-Pilot 360. We'll admit that a little bit of hope informs this line of thinking as well. Ford having done Lincoln the fabulous service of giving Lincolns terrific names, we'd be aghast if the Corsair and Navigator had to share showroom space with an eGlide. We've no choice but to wait for a retail product to provide answers. In the meantime, if we could just get to the bottom of this "Fastor Charge" trademark, and what's this bit about "Vandemonium?"   Related Video:        

McConaughey stars in new round of Lincoln ads

Thu, Aug 20 2015

Matthew McConaughey's ruminative commercial work with the Lincoln MKC, MKZ, and MKZ Hybrid showed us a side of Lincoln we didn't know existed, and a bunch of spoofs made us laugh about it. Most importantly, though, the partnership worked, leading to a double-digit increase in sales and millions of hits in brand exposure. That's why the actor and the automaker are back together, McConaughey scheduled to return in a new commercial campaign launching September 2 for the 2016 Lincoln MKX. He'll give up the air of cosmopolitan sage, because these ads "dial up the swagger factor" according to Lincoln's group marketing manager John Emmert. Introduced earlier this year at the Detroit Motor Show, the brand put a lot of work into the all-new model, said to be "much improved in how it rides, steers, brakes and looks," offering a more powerful engine, and at least 36 new features including adaptive lighting. Ford's first production implementation of adaptive steering, and Harman's first automobile application of Revel audio will bow with the mid-sized crossover. On top of all that, it's also got that lower price. Emmert said the McConaughey ads will point out "the technology and the beauty of the vehicle." Lincoln will buy time during NFL games as part of the campaign. We have no doubt the anticipation from YouTube and a few celebrity rascals is already high. Related Video:
