Above average condition 1988 Lincoln Mark 7 LSC with 302 HO engine and Automatic transmission. Oxford White with Dark Blue leather interior. Original leather interior in above average condition with factory carpeting and headliner (Sale includes a set of floor mats). Factory JBL Audio System intact except for original head unit which was replaced with a Sony cassette deck that doesn’t work. Exterior paint is original with the exception of the front end which was repainted at some point. Paint on roof and deck lid thin in places as this is a single stage paint job. Some small door dings in deck lid and quarter panels but nothing major. Lower rocker accent color was recently repainted. No rust, no funky smells or cigarette reek or pet dander issues. Front fog lamps missing but all other hardware for these intact. Factory alloy wheels refinished and shod with four matching tires that have about 10K left. Power windows and mirrors all work. All weather stripping nice. New windshield and windshield wipers….wiper arms refinished. All molding around windows refinished where vinyl tape peels off over time. Original motor has never been part and recently passed California smog. New Air and oil filter, oil and spark plugs. Air cleaner silencer intake removed for better breathing. Newer alternator . Brand new radiator, hoses and coolant with complete system flush. No oil smoking, noises or engine warning light issues. Air ride system gone though and has newer Arnott bags at all four corners as well as a number of O-rings. ABS system extensively flushed and brand new accumulator installed. To be clear….NO Brake or Suspension warning light issues. Newer brake pads/shoes and strut/shocks at all four corners. Newer front ABS sensors. Air conditioning system just topped off with R12 and proper oil. Ignition switch replaced but key has not been cut to match original door pattern. Runs/ drives great, is reliable and would make an excellent daily driver. This vehicle is on the same platform as a Mustang of the same year (Fox body). The Trip Minder on these vehicles has an issue wherein it beeps on startup to warn you when the fuel level gets low. Over time the capacitors leak and it warns you even when the tank is mostly full. This car is no exception although it seems to do it intermittently of late. The unit can be sent out and repaired by a specialist –or- you can just hit the Reset button on startup and the beep is cancelled.

2020 Lincoln Navigator gets a price bump as sales stay strong

Mon, Mar 2 2020

The Lincoln Navigator is still doing the business on dealer lots, and as sales climb, so do the prices. CarsDirect reports the flagship SUV's MSRP has gone up again as of February, a letter to dealers explaining that the bump "continues to keep the Lincoln brand competitive and aggressively positioned verses [sic] our key competitors." The entry-level Navigator Standard will start at $76,185 before the $1,295 destination charge, for a total of $77,480. That's $360 more than the luxury flagship cost in January. At the high end, the Navigator L Black Series goes up to $101,630 after destination, a $365 bump. This revised pricing makes the two-wheel drive Navigator Standard $1,000 more expensive than the current, outgoing Escalade, and the Navigator L Black Series $2,040 more than the Escalade ESV Platinum 4WD. It's likely the price jumps coming with the next-generation Escalade should restore the balance.   That won't change the fact that, on the face of it, the Navigator's entry-level price has risen by roughly $3,500 since it launched for the 2018 model year, and that's after an $8,500 increase introduced with the current generation. Last year, the product planners added features and a trim reorganization along with the price increases for 2020. Buyers get convenience items such as power running boards, heated and cooled front seats, wireless phone charging, and Lincoln's Phone as Key system standard throughout the range, and every 2020 Navigator includes the CoPilot360 driver safety suite. The safety kit wasn't available on the 2019 Navigator Standard, and was a $2,640 option on the Select trim. On top of that, the Reserve trim dropped in price thanks to the addition of a two-wheel-drive version. The Navigator improved sales in 2019 by 817 units over 2018. If sales remain robust this year — and depending on where the Escalade lands on the MSRP chart — we won't be surprised at another increase before the year is out. Related Video:  

Lincoln 'not true luxury' yet, says Ford design chief

Wed, 28 Aug 2013

Lincoln is "not true luxury," according to Ford's design boss, J Mays. His statements come from a story in The Detroit News that saw candid language on the issues facing Ford's troubled premium brand. Notably, there's a need for a strong character, with Mays saying, "Every brand needs to have a DNA and a unique selling point and things in the vehicle that make you think, 'That's that particular brand.'"
With a range of rebadged Fords, it's not hard to see why that DNA is missing. Mays hinted that a full recovery for Lincoln will be a ten-year process, that's been kicked off with the MKZ sedan. While that car is still largely a Ford Fusion under its extremely pretty wrapper, it's the first Lincoln in some time to inject its own unique take both through the exterior styling and through interior features, such as the vertical, pushbutton gear selection.
Some analysts weren't so certain about Mays' 10-year estimate. Jim Hall of 2953 Analytics thinks it'll be more like 30 years before Lincoln can show a true return to form. The issue, as Hall explains it, is that, "luxury has a degree of exclusivity," that Lincoln just doesn't have. Michelle Krebs from Edmunds adds, "it's definitely a wanna-be luxury brand," comparing the troubled American brand with Infiniti and Acura, two other brands that have struggled to find their place in the luxury market.

BMW reclaims US luxury sales crown from Mercedes

Tue, Jan 6 2015

The numbers, they are in: BMW has reclaimed the luxury-sales crown from Mercedes by a margin of 9,347 cars. Mercedes donned the king's headgear in 2013 after a strong final quarter of 2013 when the new CLA and S-Class poured out of dealerships. This year, led by the 3 Series/4 Series and X5, BMW sold 339,738 units – a 9.8-percent increase year-on-year. Mercedes, led by the C-Class and M-Class, saw its sales go up by 5.7 percent to 330,391 units. We'll have to wait a bit to see if there's another registrations-vs-sales challenge as in 2012, when BMW was anointed US luxury ruler. Behind them, a dark horse named Lexus nudged closer to the leading Teutons, selling 311,389 cars. The Japanese luxury automaker also had the biggest gain among the top three, its sales rising by 13.7 percent compared to 2013. Audi had the biggest sales of anyone among the top five, though, with a 15.2-percent gain to 182,011, which moved it a spot ahead of Cadillac; the Wreath-and-Crest brand dropped 6.5 percent to 170,750. Acura (167,843), Infiniti (117,300), and Lincoln (94,474) took the final positions. Speaking of Lincoln, sales at the once-mighty luxury marque stand as the mightiest jump of any on this list, up 15.6 percent. That's the power of Matthew McConaughey... and better cars and a new crossover, sure. So now that we're back to Round One of 2015, in case no one else has said it yet: "Ok, fight!"
