This is my wife's 1998 Lincoln Mark VIII LSC Collectors Series.It is a sporty and fast 2 door coupe that seats 5. We are the second owners. We bought it from our neighbor in 2008. My wife likes it but wanted a 4-door since the children are older and don't like climbing in. Not included in option list above is heated driver and passenger seats, both work fine. Car has automatic climate control and the A/C blows cold. There are NO engine or transmission issues at all and NO leaks of anything.

I changed the air ride system to the coil and shock refit. The lower and upper control arms were all replaced and aligned in Nov 2012. There were too many components to the air ride that seemed to always need some attention. It runs great and rides well. Most of our miles were highway since the children's school was 23 miles one way. She gets around 23 miles a gallon on the road.

These cars are notorious for the linkage breaking that controls the heater door that directs hot air into the car. Mine did break. $5 dollar part and $350 in labor. I did it myself using instructions from the Lincoln Owners Group (free to join and extremely helpful). Per suggestions from the group I placed a brass sleeve over the part to make sure it never broke again and also modified the linkage arm to prevent excessive pressure.

You can see in the pictures that the car isn't perfect. Paint is great with NO clearcoat peeling. There are some spots on the door trim where paint has come off the edges as well as the drivers side mirror at the base. The interior is beige. The seats show some wear but there is no holes or tears in the leather.

The LSC has a few nice options like larger intake ports and no speed restrictor like the other Mark VIII's. There are a couple other differences that I forgot.

There are 7 known problems with this car, other than tires I feel they are minor issues. We tried the police interceptor tires on it. Mistake, made the ride too hard for my liking. They need to be replaced very soon. 2, The fuel door release at the drivers seat doesn't always release. You can hear it actuate but not always enough to open the door. There is a pull release in the trunk. 3, the fan motor is sometimes intermittent. The connector may be loose. 4, the rear view mirror is in position but is loose. 5, the computer that monitors the cars systems alerts an air ride error because the system is bypassed. 6, the drivers seat control panel is loose. 7, the chrome covers on the window controls on the drivers door came off but the switches work. just fine.

Included in the sale is an extra pair of rims, one right and one left. A friend parted out a wrecked Mark VII with the same wheels so I bought them just in case. I'm told they retail for $800 each from Lincoln. Also bought from him was a drivers airbag and 4 or 5 cylinder coils.

This is a fine and solid car, NO rust and NO rattles. Always been a southern car bought here in Lawrenceburg and always owned here. I feel you could drive this car anywhere without mechanical issues BUT it is used and is being sold as-is and no warranty.

Feel free to ask questions. I will check my messages every evening.

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.

SNL, Jim Carrey late to the Lincoln MKC ad spoof party

Mon, 27 Oct 2014

At this point, making fun of the Lincoln MKC ads starring Matthew McConaughey is getting pretty old, though apparently Lincoln loves it. The commercials have been airing for over a month, but Conan O'Brien, Ellen DeGeneres and even South Park have all taken their swipes at the spots with the smooth-talking actor monologuing about his new luxury crossover. Saturday Night Live might have finally killed the joke in its recent episode featuring Jim Carrey.
The problem certainly isn't that Carrey does a bad job in the spoofs, and he actually pulls off a pretty good McConaughey impression. They start out as pretty direct mimicry and slowly evolve into the absurd, including cracks at McConaughey's acting career and the way he rubs his thumb and finger together. Carrey certainly raises at least a chuckle at times, though.
However, the comedian's engaging performance can't take away from the fact that SNL has arriving to this mocking party pretty late in the game. The jokes just don't feel fresh anymore, so hopefully these ads put the final nails in the coffin for the riffs - at least until the next batch of Lincoln ads arrive.

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.
