THIS TOWN CAR SPEAKS FOR ITSELF, THERE IS TRULY NO "PERFECT" CAR IN THE USED CAR WORLD, BUT MINE IS EXTREMELY CLOSE!!

I am selling my one-owner '96 Cartier Town Car, finished in Silver Frost Metallic with contrasting Light Graphite (grey) leather interior. It has 93,700 miles, averaging 5,500 miles per year. This is a west coast snowbird car, having traveled back and forth between Vancouver, WA and Phoenix. The car has been serviced every 5,000 miles since new. This Town Car is in impeccable condition....the paint is beautiful, there are no dents (really), and the perfect leather interior is sumptuous for five full size passengers. All electric windows work flawlessly and the glass is excellent all around. The windows are all tinted and the tint is in great shape. The rubber seals/weatherstripping around the doors and windows are in fine condition. The A/C blows strong and cold, and all instruments, cruise control, and lights work properly, including the rear ceiling-mounted vanity mirrors/lights available only on the Cartier. This Town Car comes with heated front seats, upgraded JBL 9 speaker sound system, keyless entry, perfect headliner, and the 3 door Homelink garage door system. The upgraded 16" Lincoln alloy wheels have no curb rash and feature a matched set of Michelin Symmetry tires. The original Cartier embossed floor and trunk mats are in phenomenal condition as they have been covered with a second set of floor mats that also come with the car. Most Town Cars of this age have pitted/peeling chrome moldings...not this car...the chrome is perfect all around. The secret to the Town Car ride is the rear air suspension. The self-leveling suspension positions the body to sit level under varying loads, and has no air-bag/compressor issues or air leaks. Speaking of leaks, this Cartier's undercarriage is completely dry...no fluid leaks of any kind. As you would expect of a car of this quality; the owner's manual, original window sticker ($42,750), three keys/two remotes, jack, spare tire (donut), and tools are all part of the package. This is a non-smoker, no kids, no pets car that needs nothing. This Town Car has never been in an accident and has a perfect Carfax available for your inspection. If you are looking for an elegant, comfortable vehicle that gets great mileage for its size (17/25mpg on regular gas) and can accommodate several sets of golf clubs in its very large trunk, then this may be the car for you. The VIN is: 1LNLM83W3TY734875 and I have a clean and notarized Arizona title on hand. The car is priced a little higher than some on the market, but you will see the value when see/drive the car. Cadillac stopped building large luxury rear-wheel drive cars (Fleetwood Brougham) in 1996, while Lincoln continued producing the Town Car until 2011. They really don't build them like this anymore. This is truly a "needs nothing" Cartier.

Dodge Dart falls short of Consumer Reports Recommended, Caddy XTS and Lincoln MKS, too

Thu, 22 Nov 2012

The Dodge Dart, Cadillac XTS and Lincoln MKS all failed to earn a "Recommended" rating from Consumer Reports. When it came to the compact Dart, the organization's testers thought the vehicle offered a quiet cabin, solid-feeling chassis and nimble suspension, but the new model ultimately fell short of the coveted rating due to powertrain issues. The institute's reviewers found the base 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine to be underpowered and noted "drivability issues" when the available turbocharged 1.4-liter four was paired with the optional dual-clutch transmission (some of our editors disliked it paired with the six-speed manual). CR also dinged the latter powerplant for sounding "raspy." For what it's worth, we think the forced-induction engine offers an excellent and playful exhaust note, but that's just us.
As for the XTS, CR lauded the car for its luxurious cabin, but the vehicle's experience was dulled by its finicky CUE infotainment interface. Overall, the big Cadillac scored much higher than its cross-town rival from Lincoln. While testers found the American luxury sedan to offer a quiet ride and quality fit and finish, they felt the MKS delivered a "cramped driving position, ungainly handling, uncomposed ride, and limited visibility." Ouch. At the end of the day, both cars fell short of rivals from Japan, Germany and Korea. Check out the full press release below with more details, along with CR's musings on the Chevrolet Spark and Lexus ES.

Ford recalls over 953,000 vehicles to replace Takata airbag inflators

Fri, Jan 4 2019

DETROIT — Ford is recalling more than 953,000 vehicles worldwide to replace Takata passenger airbag inflators that can explode and hurl shrapnel. The move includes over 782,000 vehicles in the U.S. and is part of the largest series of recalls in U.S. history. Included are the 2010 Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX, the 2010 and 2011 Ford Ranger, the 2010 to 2012 Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ, the 2010 and 2011 Mercury Milan, and the 2010 to 2014 Ford Mustang. Some of the recalls may be limited to specific geographic areas of the U.S. Takata used the chemical ammonium nitrate to create an explosion to inflate airbags. But it can deteriorate over time due to heat and humidity and explode with too much force, blowing apart a metal canister designed to contain the explosion. At least 23 people have been killed worldwide and hundreds injured by the inflators. Ford says it doesn't know of any injuries in vehicles included in this recall. Dealers will replace the inflators. Ford will notify owners about the recall starting on Feb. 18, and the company has replacement parts available for dealers to order, said spokeswoman Monique Brentley. In previous Takata recalls, parts availability had been an issue. Owners can go to this Ford website and key in their vehicle identification number to see if their cars and SUVs are being recalled. The same information will be available soon at the NHTSA recall website. More than three years after the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration took over management of recalls involving Takata inflators, one third of the recalled inflators still have not been replaced, according to an annual report from the government and a court-appointed monitor. The report says 16.7 million faulty inflators out of 50 million under recall have yet to be replaced. And 10 million more inflators are scheduled to be recalled this month, including the Ford vehicles. Safety advocates said the completion rate should be far higher given the danger associated with the inflators. The recalls forced Takata of Japan to seek bankruptcy protection and sell most of its assets to pay for the fixes. The inflators grow more dangerous as they get older because ammonium nitrate deteriorates due to high humidity and cycles from hot temperatures to cold. The most dangerous inflators are in areas of the South along the Gulf of Mexico that have high humidity. Related Video:

Mixed sales results, but automaker stocks rise on need for cars in Houston

Fri, Sep 1 2017

DETROIT — The Big Three Detroit automakers on Friday reported better-than-expected August sales and issued optimistic outlooks for demand as residents of the Houston area replace flood-damaged cars and trucks after Hurricane Harvey, sending their stocks higher. General Motors, Ford and Fiat Chrysler posted mixed August U.S. sales, with GM up 7.5 percent and Ford and Fiat Chrysler down. Japanese automaker Toyota improved sales by nearly 7 percent, while Honda fell 2.4 percent. Still, analysts focused on the potential for Detroit automakers to cut inventories and stabilize used vehicle prices as residents of Houston, the fourth largest city in the United States, are forced to replace tens of thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands, of vehicles after the devastation from Hurricane Harvey. Mark LaNeve, Ford's U.S. sales chief, told analysts on Friday that following Hurricane Katrina in 2005 "we saw a very dramatic snapback" in demand. That said, Ford sales fell 2.1 percent in August. It sold 209,897 vehicles in the United States, compared with 214,482 a year earlier. Sales were down 1.9 percent in the Ford division and off 5.8 percent at Lincoln. Demand was down for cars, crossovers and SUVs. It was not clear how many vehicles in the Houston area will be scrapped, LaNeve said, saying he had seen estimates ranging from 200,000 to 400,000 to 1 million. Ford's Houston dealers may have lost fewer than 5,000 vehicles in inventory, he said. Ford is the No. 1 automaker in the Houston market, with 18 percent share, according to IHS Markit. The company plans to ship used vehicles to Houston dealers and has "every indication we would have to add some production" of new vehicles to meet demand, LaNeve said. Investor concerns about inventories of unsold vehicles and falling used car prices have weighed on Detroit automakers' shares most of this year. Now, automakers can anticipate a jolt of demand from a big market that is a stronghold for Detroit brand trucks and SUVs. "It's got to be a positive for the industry," LaNeve said. Investors appeared to agree. GM shares rose as much as 3.3 percent to their highest since early March. Ford increased 2.8 percent at $11.34, and Fiat Chrysler's U.S.-traded shares were up 5.2 percent $15.91, hitting their highest in more than five years. GM reported a 7.5 percent increase in U.S. auto sales in August, helped by robust sales of crossovers across its four brands.
