2000 Lincoln Continental - Awesome Daily Driver - New Trans + Ac on 2040-cars

US $4,400.00
Year:2000 Mileage:138500
Location:

I am adding this statement to address the very odd report on this car:  

  • I have the title in my office at home and it is free and clear of any lien.  
  • The title showing "Exceed Mechanical Limits" has to do with the older style odometer only moving to 99,999 miles and not rolling over to 100,000 miles.  This odometer is digital and it is working perfectly at ~138,500 miles.
  • The Title showing 4 owners is a little misleading.  The first was my grandmother, the second was my dad and the 3rd was me.  My dad only had it in his name because he was paying insurance on it while I was in graduate school.
Hope this helps relieve any ambiguity on the car!  Thanks! DETAILS BELOW.

Rebuilt Transmission, Excellent Maintenance History, Super Reliable as a Highway Driver or just to work and back. Details below.


This has been my daily driver for 3 years and it was bought new from a dealer in SC by my grandmother. It was given to me when I entered graduate school so I could reduce my bills. Well I have graduated now and I am unloading the "Silver Bullet."

This car has been awesome and I would drive to CA in it tomorrow with no hesitation. I am super picky about maintenance on my equipment and I have kept this car in perfect mechanical shape.

138,500 Miles, V8 4.6 L, Traction Control, Really Well Equipped, SIDE AIR BAGS

-Oil changes every 3,500-4,500 miles with synthetic / conventional blend 
-New A/C lines, compressor and condensor within last 10,000 miles
-Rebuilt Transmission by Certified MotorCraft mechanic using MotorCraft parts within 25,000 miles
-Bridgestone Turanza tires with 85% tread life left (60,000 mile tires)
-Sway bars on rear suspension just replaced
-Transmission flushed within 10,000 miles
-New Serpentine Belt within 10,000 miles

I have all the receipts and will gladly send them along with the car. I am sad to see it go since it has been in my family for it's whole life. This would make a perfect daily commuter to keep miles off other vehicles or a perfect SAFE first car for your teen. It handles great, feels really solid and it has tons of power. It is a 2000 model so it does have a few little intricacies but none of them effect the reliability or comfort of the car. Like I said I am really picky about my equipment.

Please let me know if you would like to see it (email preferred). I am readily available and want to see it go to a good home. Thanks for looking. David 434 665 5800

Lincoln May Rebadge Its MKZ As Zephyr | Autoblog Minute

Ford Motor Company applied this month to get the rights to the trademark for the word Zephyr. We think the MKZ might be rebadge as the Lincoln Zephyr.

How Lincoln could make itself special again

Tue, May 9 2017

Things are going better for the Lincoln brand — or, more properly, The Lincoln Motor Company — so far this year, and are likely to continue to do so, comparatively speaking. In the first quarter of 2017, the brand's sales are up 8.7 percent compared with the same period last year. Lincoln delivered 27,083 units in the first quarter. The Continental is certainly a boon, with 3,209 units (almost 12 percent of the total number), something Lincoln didn't have in the first quarter of 2016. Its crossovers, the MKC and MKX, were up 15 and 11.2 percent, respectively, and while the Navigator SUV was down 16.2 percent, the new 2018 model will certainly boost that nameplate. Still, there is undoubtedly a glass — or crystal — ceiling for Lincoln (as well as for Cadillac) that it's not likely to break through regarding total US sales. No matter how you look at it, the US luxury market is dominated by import brands, and there is no reason to think that's going to change. Ever. According to Autodata, for the first quarter of 2017 there were 213,817 luxury vehicles delivered, of which 170,780 were from import brands and 43,037 domestic. While there is a good likelihood that Lincoln will gain some ground, given the lineup extensions that the likes of Mercedes, Audi, BMW, and Lexus are making, as well as the creation of new brands like Genesis and the traction of Tesla, it is going to be all the more challenging for any company to get any significant growth in the luxury category. So growth for Lincoln, yes. Notable growth? No. But there is something the company could do to generate revenue separate from the car and crossover business. It may not make a lot of money in and of itself, but it can provide a distinct edge in the product segment that would cement Lincoln with a unique offering. Kumar Galhorta, president of Lincoln, frequently talks about "experiences." About how the company is working to relieve or eliminate "pain points" from its customers. About how time — or the perceived lack thereof — is something Lincoln is working to address. And it's doing so in a way that gives it a distinctiveness vis-a-vis the competitive set. Lincoln's services are creating a buzz in a way that Matthew McConaughey ads never will. Lincoln is addressing it through service. As in offering pickup and delivery for service appointments for all new 2017 Lincoln models.

Lincoln Aviator vs Cadillac XT6 | How they compare on paper

Thu, Sep 5 2019

There have been big, three-row family crossovers for quite a while now, but until recently the luxury market hasn't fully embraced them. Sure, you could literally get one with a third row, but unless you were a kid, chances are the term "dungeon-like" was going to be tossed around. Things are changing now, however, as new and redesigned entries are starting to hit the market. We've recently had a chance to get our first drives of the 2020 Lincoln Aviator and 2020 Cadillac XT6, two all-new three-row crossovers from American luxury brands. We also got a turn behind the wheel of the updated 2020 Volvo XC90. However, since none of our editors have yet to drive to drive them all, we wanted to see how they compare on paper, examining their engine specs and interior dimensions. We also included the 2020 Acura MDX, the original three-row luxury crossover, which continues to sell well despite approaching the end of its current generation. That it offers a hybrid model makes it that much more applicable given the Aviator and XC90 also offer gasoline-electric powertrains, albeit of the plug-in variety. 3 Row Luxury Crossovers Powertrains View 1 Photos Non-hybrid MDX has a 5,000-pound max tow rating. How do their performance and fuel economy compare? This one is absolutely no contest. The 400-horsepower Lincoln blows away its competitors despite having a price tag that's similar to the 310-horsepower Cadillac and in between the XC90's T5 and T6 models. At least the Acura is considerably cheaper. Besides the eye-popping output, the estimated 0-60-mph time of 5.5 seconds (gleaned from the mechanically similar Ford Explorer ST) is appreciably quicker than the others. Now, fuel economy is a bit lower, but the efficiency of Volvo's four-cylinder engines are likely more susceptible to varying due to driver differences. It should also be noted that the Cadillac gets the same combined fuel economy estimate as the Aviator despite having 90 fewer horses and 144 fewer pound-feet of torque. Just one of the ways where the XT6's prospects dim in the presence of its cross-Michigan rival. The Cadillac is also not available as a hybrid model. The others are, but are disparate. The Lincoln Aviator Grand Touring and Volvo XC90 T8 are similar in concept: range-topping models that are as much about adding performance as they are fuel economy. Their hefty price tags certainly reflect that as well.
