This is my wife's 1998 Lincoln Mark VIII LSC Collectors Series.It is a sporty and fast 2 door coupe that seats 5. We are the second owners. We bought it from our neighbor in 2008. My wife likes it but wanted a 4-door since the children are older and don't like climbing in. Not included in option list above is heated driver and passenger seats, both work fine. Car has automatic climate control and the A/C blows cold. There are NO engine or transmission issues at all and NO leaks of anything.


I changed the air ride system to the coil and shock refit. The lower and upper control arms were all replaced and aligned in Nov 2012. There were too many components to the air ride that seemed to always need some attention. It runs great and rides well. Most of our miles were highway since the children's school was 23 miles one way. She gets around 23 miles a gallon on the road.

These cars are notorious for the linkage breaking that controls the heater door that directs hot air into the car. Mine did break. $5 dollar part and $350 in labor. I did it myself using instructions from the Lincoln Owners Group (free to join and extremely helpful). Per suggestions from the group I placed a brass sleeve over the part to make sure it never broke again and also modified the linkage arm to prevent excessive pressure.

You can see in the pictures that the car isn't perfect. Paint is great with NO clearcoat peeling. There are some spots on the door trim where paint has come off the edges as well as the drivers side mirror at the base. The interior is beige. The seats show some wear but there is no holes or tears in the leather.

The LSC  has a few nice options like larger intake ports and no speed restrictor like the other Mark VIII's. There are a couple other differences that I forgot.

There are 7 known problems with this car, other than tires I feel they are minor issues. We tried the police interceptor tires on it. Mistake, made the ride too hard for my liking. They need to be replaced very soon. 2, The fuel door release at the drivers seat doesn't always release. You can hear it actuate but not always enough to open the door. There is a pull release in the trunk. 3, the fan motor is sometimes intermittent. The connector may be loose. 4, the rear view mirror is in position but is loose. 5, the computer that monitors the cars systems alerts an air ride error because the system is bypassed. 6, the drivers seat control panel is loose. 7, the chrome covers on the window controls on the drivers door came off but the switches work. just fine.

Included in the sale is an extra pair of rims, one right and one left. A friend parted out a wrecked Mark VII with the same wheels so I bought them just in case. I'm told they retail for $800 each from Lincoln. Also bought from him was a drivers airbag and 4 or 5 cylinder coils.

This is a fine and solid car, NO rust and NO rattles. Always been a southern car bought here in Lawrenceburg and always owned here. I feel you could drive this car anywhere without mechanical issues BUT it is used and is being sold as-is and no warranty.

Feel free to ask questions. I will check my messages every evening.

One more Lincoln MKX concept teaser drops before Beijing

Fri, 18 Apr 2014

If the teaser video for Lincoln's launch of a new concept at the 2014 Beijing Motor Show wasn't enough for you, the company has now released a shadowy new image on its Twitter page. The vehicle may be a concept for the next-generation MKX, and its launch in China is part of the huge rollout to sell the brand's models there.
The latest photo shows off the concept's lighting, including LED running lights and lit sideview mirrors. The sharp edges of the lights give some hints to its shape. However, Other than clearly being a crossover, not much else is known.
The concept's launch supports Lincoln breaking into the Chinese market. It will begin selling the MKZ and MKC there this fall, as well as a midsize luxury SUV. A fullsize luxury sedan and the Navigator will come later. The company will also build luxury showrooms for the models that will look more like high-end hotel lobbies than car dealers. Scroll down to watch the teaser video.

Lincoln Chauffeur service will drive you around and do your shopping

Wed, Apr 12 2017

Lincoln is launching a unique service in Miami this year called Lincoln Chauffeur, and it does exactly what you'd expect. Any Lincoln owner can request someone via an app to come to their house and drive him or her wherever they'd like. That driver will then drive the car back. Lincoln pointed out this will allow other household members to use the car, and even helps avoid having to pay for parking when going to the airport. A representative said that a driver could be sent to a bar or restaurant to pick up a car left in favor of a cab after drinking. In addition to driving you to a location, the driver can also go and fill up your Lincoln with fuel and run other errands. Need some groceries? Your Lincoln driver can do that. And the Lincoln drivers are employed and vetted by Lincoln. If you find a driver you like, you can also request that person and Lincoln will try to accommodate your request. The service is currently in the pilot stage and only available in Miami. The next city that will get access to the service is San Diego. However, the plan is to continue expanding. It's also available for all Lincoln owners, new and old, not just members of Lincoln Black Label. Buyers of any new Lincoln will be given the equivalent of eight hours free in the service. This is a significant perk, since Lincoln said the estimated cost is $30 per hour of use at the current pilot pricing. Related Video:

2013 Lincoln MKZ [w/video]

Fri, 07 Dec 2012

Rebranding When Reinvention Is Requisite
Lincoln - pardon us, the Lincoln Motor Company - assures us that Ford is committed to its success. The awkwardness of the statement (which feels vaguely like your mother telling you that she loves and supports you regardless of what everyone else thinks) was hard to escape when we recently spent a few days with the all-new second-generation 2013 Lincoln MKZ.
Launched earlier this year at the 2012 New York Auto Show, the MKZ is a midsize premium sedan that shares platforms with the Ford Fusion (also all-new for 2013). The sedan's primary competitors, according to Lincoln, include the Audi A6, BMW 5 Series, Cadillac CTS and Lexus ES Series sedans - each an established, accomplished player.
