Offered is my originally purchased 2007 Lincoln Designer Town Car which is smoke and pet free. Options on car: Cashmere Paint, WSW Tires, 6 CD Radio, Power Moon Roof, HID Headlamps and California Emissions. Many standard items on this car including 17" chrome wheels, fog lights, upgraded leather, adjustable rear headrests, heated front seats, dual-zone auto climate control, adjustable brake/gas pedals, full power open/close trunk lid + many more. Car was never involved in any accident or had paint work done to it nor smoked in. The paint is 100% original except for a few very minor touch ups. This is a turn key car meaning there are no known problems. This car has NEVER been exposed to rock salt, snow or ice, therefore there is no rot. Interior and trunk lighting has been upgraded to white LEDs. This can revert back to factory style lighting easily. There is an external transmission FL1 oil filter installed to make sure the transmission  fluid is clean. I used Mobil 1 engine oil from day one. When I changed/flushed the transmission fluid, I used Mobil 1 synthetic transmission fluid. I kept this car under a severe usage maintenance schedule due to some dust in my area.  Most likely that was not required but I wanted to be sure. The air filter was changed every 10,000 miles--far earlier than the usual 30,000 miles. I have included my maintenance records to show what and when service was done. The great thing is that I did NOT purchase my car with a factory installed navigation system! Ford/ Lincoln no longer supports that system, meaning NO MAP UPDATES are available. Beware of these cars with the navigation systems as they only have old maps. If you have question about this car, ask me a question as I am the original owner. *****You can make arrangements and pay for a professional to inspect this car as I have nothing to hide. Since I did some road trips, I installed a full size spare tire--it's on a non chrome Town Car wheel. The factory donut spare tire is also present and all tires are filled with nitrogen. Interior windows were tinted and rear windows had vent covers on them--easy to remove if you don't like them. No personal items that are visible in photos are included. I can store car at my location for a few weeks if paid in full. For out of State purchaser, arrangements can be made for your pick up at the SkyHarbor, Phoenix AZ Airport. You must have a PayPal account to bid on this vehicle. Just added two photos of a new replacement driver's lower seat cushion cover that will become part of this offer. Back in 2007 I ordered a new seat cover as the driver's seat bottom usually receives the most wear. Right now it doesn't pay to replace it, but in the future it might be required. The value of this cover was $250 in 2007 and is no longer available. Due to a question asked about the paint being shiny, I added the last four photos. There is no damage to the car as the photos were taken to show reflections in the shiny paint. There are two ways to answer that question, #1 with added photos and my description with photos or #2 hire a professional to inspect the car. I've been an eBay seller for over ten years with a 100% feedback rating. A 2007 Designer Town Car being sold by the only/original owner with posted maintenance records is hard to find.

Cabin Air Filter--non factory

When the windshield was replaced, I noticed a tray/area for an intake cabin air filter. You must remove the passenger side vent covering in the engine compartment . There are two long plastic screws. I used a filter for the 1999-2010 Jeep Cherokee, it had to be cut down length wise to fit in the 3" X 13" tray. I over cut it first to see how it would fit. You must take a little more off the forward edge. The following filters work: Fram CF10363, WIX 24903 or NAPA 4903 which I was able to locate.

Mulally wanted to kill Lincoln as late as last year, Fields vows to turn it around

Mon, 30 Jun 2014

Lincoln fans might want to give incoming Ford CEO Mark Fields a pat on the back for having a hand in saving the brand from the chopping block last year. He's among the people spearheading the rejuvenation of the division away from its stodgy image to appeal to younger customers.
According to two unnamed sources speaking to Bloomberg, CEO Alan Mulally was ready to kill Lincoln last year. Following the slow production ramp-up of the MKZ combined a with a costly ad campaign, Mulally was frustrated and openly suggested dropping the brand. However, Fields and Jim Farley, Ford's marketing boss, convinced the CEO that the brand was worth saving. They also created a plan to prevent similar problems for new models in the future.
It seems that one part of the strategy may involve waiting until new models are at dealers before starting a big ad campaign for them. Lincoln global director, Matt VanDyke, recently told Autoblog that the division is holding off on a full marketing push behind the new MKC crossover to prevent the supply problems that plagued the MKZ last year. Its big offensive begins in the fall when the CUVs are at all of the dealers and consumers are at home watching more TV. VanDyke also told Bloomberg that Fields, Farley and Joe Hinrichs, Ford president of the Americas, have more direct oversight over new product launches now.

Ford and Lincoln recall roundup: Explorer, F-350 Super Duty, Aviator

Fri, Jul 16 2021

Ford and Lincoln released information on a flurry of recalls this morning. There are three in total, and they span different models and separate issues. Those models include the 2013-17 Ford Explorer, 2020-21 Lincoln Aviator and 2020-21 Ford F-350 Super Duty. We’ll organize these three in order of most cars recalled. 2013-17 Ford Explorer This recall includes a substantial 774,696 vehicles, of which 676,152 are in North America. Why? Ford says these vehicles “may experience a seized cross-axis ball joint that may cause a fractured rear suspension toe link.” The diminished steering control that would follow could increase the likelihood of a crash, Ford states. Only vehicles that spent time in high corrosion states should be affected, Ford says. That means places that lay salt down, experience cold weather and high humidity. Owners of these vehicles will need to take their car into the dealership, where it will be inspected to determine if it needs work. If so, Ford will replace the cross-axis ball joint/knuckle, then replace the toe links with a newly-designed part. Notifications to owners of these vehicles are scheduled to be sent out the week of August 23.  WeÂ’ll note that Ford is reporting six “allegations of injury” related to this issue. For those who donÂ’t live in the high-corrosion states/their car was never registered in those states, Ford is offering a customer satisfaction program in case you were interested in having the work done anyway. 2020-21 Lincoln Aviator Lincoln is pulling back 40,995 new Aviators due to an improperly secured battery cable wire harness. This recall applies to gasoline-only versions of the Aviator, so Grand Touring PHEV buyers neednÂ’t worry. The wire harness may contact the AC compressor pulley due to it being secured improperly. Ford says that over time, the pulley could rub through the wire harnessÂ’ insulation, resulting in a short circuit and ultimately a fire. However, Ford is not currently aware of any injuries or fires related to this concern as of now. When you bring your car in, the dealer will inspect all the parts to determine what needs to be done. Fixes range from a basic tie strap to keep the harness away from the pulley (if it hasnÂ’t made contact yet), to replacement of the wire harness and AC belt if the contact has caused damage. Owners should expect to be notified the week of July 30 if their Aviator is involved in the recall.

12 best hybrid SUVs for 2022

Tue, Jun 15 2021

If you're searching for the best hybrid SUV, the truth is there actually aren't that many choices. While there's an endless sea of those powered solely by gasoline, those that add batteries and superior fuel economy to the mix are few and far between. The very good news, however, is that the choices you have are actually excellent. The top-selling and top-rated Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4 are not only available as hybrids, for instance, but are actually at their most appealing as hybrids.  Luxury hybrid SUVs are a different story. While Lexus offers each of its crossover SUVs as a conventional hybrid, those of other brands are by and large plug-in hybrids that provide a relatively brief amount of all-electric propulsion, superior fuel economy and higher prices that are somewhat countered by EV tax rebates. We include both conventional hybrids and plug-in hybrids in the below list of best hybrid SUVs. All are listed alphabetically within each category. Best small hybrid SUVs   |   Best midsize hybrid SUVs Best luxury hybrid SUVs   |   Best luxury plug-in hybrid SUVs Best small hybrid SUVs Honda CR-V Hybrid Why it stands out: Best-in-class back seat space; hybrid's distinctive EV-like power delivery; middle lower LATCH anchorCould be better: Antiquated and glitchy tech interface; a bit dull Hybrid fuel economy: 38 mpg combined (AWD only) Read our 2022 Honda CR-V Review Consider the CR-V the baseline for any compact SUV search. Objectively speaking, it's tough to beat due to its massive cargo capacity, voluminous back seat, well-balanced driving dynamics, competitive pricing and features, strong safety ratings and well-regarded reliability. In terms of its hybridness, we like that Honda's distinctive hybrid system sees most of its propulsion handled by the electric motor (the engine rarely powers the wheels directly), resulting in a more EV-like, torque-rich power delivery and a less obtrusive gas engine. For the vast majority of compact SUV buyers, and especially families, the CR-V Hybrid checks every box.    Hyundai Tucson Hybrid Why it stands out: Beautiful interior; excellent infotainment and safety technology; traditional automatic transmissionCould be better: No spare tire; styling a tad outrageous Hybrid fuel economy: 37-38 mpg combined (AWD only) Plug-in hybrid electric range: 33 miles Plug-in hybrid fuel economy: 80 MPGe Read our 2022 Hyundai Tucson Review The Tucson is the new kid in town and it's made quite an entrance.
