For auction at LOW RESERVE is my 1983 Lincoln Mark VI, which is a California rust-free car with very low miles (>38k) and very little wear. The beautiful graphite plush leather interior is like new, soft and supple. Like sitting on a nice leather couch. The interior shows no wear. Dash, carpet, etc.  in great shape. New floor mats. The original black over silver paint is bright and shiny, as is the chrome. Vinyl roof is new condition. Only a few minor paint blemishes, you'd never guess the paint is 31 years old! I just replaced the aging pinstripes, and the new ones are sharp looking!

The car rides and drives like my new Lincoln. The A/C blows ice cold. The tires, battery, brakes are new. The car has been completely serviced (including the transmission) and runs as it should. The only weak point on these engines is the water pump, and a new one was just installed. The car instantly starts. It smoothly, and quietly, glides straight down the road. You will be pleased with the mechanical condition.

Any negatives? I ordered a new power antenna for it; the previous owner left a new one for me to install, but it did not work. Guess what-the one I ordered had motor failure also and I just sent it back. So you  can deal with it, they are inexpensive and easy to install. The right door lock is hard to lock at times, may be just an adjustment. Otherwise the Mark is good to go anywhere.

So why am I selling such a nice car that I've had only a short time? I just found and bought the muscle car of my dreams, as luck would have it, right after I bought the Mark VI. I'm out of room because I have several other classic 50's cars, and at my age (just started getting social security) I've got enough cars to keep up with. Something has to go! So I'm thinning the herd.

The car is being sold "As is-Where is", meaning you arrange for pickup and shipping at your expense. I can refer you to a local shipper who has given me excellent service on many  occasions. There are no warranties. either express or implied. A non-refundable $500 deposit through Pay Pal is required within 24 hours. Balance is due via wire transfer or cashier's check before the clear title and car is released to the buyer. The Mark VI easily passed the recent CA smog test, if that is a concern for you. Burned as clean as a new car.

Please bid responsibly and realize the RESERVE IS LOW; once you hit it, you are obligated to pay for it, so be serious! Please e-mail with questions or contact me at 714-469-9517. The car is available locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early.

Ford recalls 600,000 older-model sedans for braking issue

Fri, Dec 20 2019

Ford is recalling 600,166 older-model Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles over an issue that could affect braking and increase the risk of a crash. The safety recall covers certain Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan and Lincoln MKZ sedans from the 2006 through 2010 model years that were built at Ford’s Hermosillo Assembly Plant in Mexico between Feb. 22, 2006, and July 15, 2009. Ford says a valve that is normally closed inside the hydraulic control unit may get stuck in the open position or be slow to close, which could make it harder to engage the brakes and increase risk of a crash. Ford says itÂ’s aware of 15 reports of accidents and two injuries possibly related to the issue. Dealers will inspect the hydraulic control unit for signs of the problem and replace it, if necessary. The dealers will pressure-flush the system with brake fluid and replace the reservoir cap with a new one. Ford is also issuing a small recall of 33 of its 2020 F-150 trucks in the U.S. and 51 in Canada over potentially damaged spare tires. It says the bead area on the tires may have been damaged when it was mounted onto the wheel assembly, leaving it vulnerable to corrosion, separation of the bead wire and ultimately a rapid loss of air pressure and detachment from the wheel. Dealers will replace the spare tire. Affected vehicles were built at the Dearborn Truck Plant from Nov. 10-21 of this year.

Lincoln prepping MKZ re-launch?

Thu, 04 Apr 2013

Launching an all-new car is no easy task. Case in point is the 2013 Lincoln MKZ, introduced with the fanfare of a major nationwide marketing campaign, including expensive Super Bowl ads, just as Ford was curbing production over potential quality issues. The resulting mess was nothing short of a nightmare for any automaker - customers visiting dealerships looking for cars that hadn't been delivered yet. Disappointed buyers walked out of Lincoln retailers without new keys in their hands, or switched to a competing brand to fill empty spaces in their driveways.
The impact was painful, as Lincoln's sales in January and February of this year were among the lowest it has recorded in more than a quarter century. Even though March looked a bit brighter, with the supply crisis reportedly over (there are 3,000 units in transit and production is approaching 200 units per day) the automaker is reportedly studying the feasibility of giving its pivotal MKZ the launch it originally deserved.
According to TheDetroitBureau.com, putting the MKZ back on consumer's radar could cost Ford tens of millions of dollars, but that kind of investment may be warranted if potential buyers have forgotten about the new model... or worse, if they have forgotten about Lincoln.

The Lincoln Way seeks to woo customers with unique services

Tue, Jul 19 2016

Lincoln has been fighting hard to shed their image as a luxury brand for the elderly. The company has recently introduced or updated nearly every vehicle in its fleet in order to literally put a new face on the brand. Options, like the Black Label program, attempt to pull influence from high-end automakers that provide services extending beyond scheduled oil changes. Now, Lincoln is introducing a program that it refers to as The Lincoln Way, a suite of customer-oriented services that the company hopes will set it apart from the pack. All of this starts this fall when the new Continental goes on sale. Customers will have access to services like vehicle pickup and drop off and complimentary loaner vehicles. The company is planning more incentives for the future, but details are vague. Lincoln parent Ford is offering similar services on the upcoming GT. The Lincoln Way seems to be an expansion of some services already offered under the Black Label program. Right now, Black Label includes scheduled maintenance, car washes, and concierge services, as well as exclusive vehicle colors and options. The program is pricey and only available on some models in some states, though Lincoln plans on expanding Black Label's reach. In addition to these services, Lincoln is opening a showroom of sorts, called the Lincoln Experience Center, in Newport Beach, California. The facility won't actually sell vehicles. Instead, customers can come and learn about the brand, build and price vehicles, and take test drives. The Experience Center will then put customers in contact with local dealers. Lincoln says the increased focus on customer care and satisfaction draws influence from the company's growth in China. Since the introduction of The Lincoln Way services, sales in China have grown greatly. Sales in the United States, like China, have been improving the past few years. With the introduction of The Lincoln Way, the company hopes that Matthew Mcconaughey won't be the only draw for future customers. Related Video: Lincoln Ownership Luxury lincoln black label
