Top Of The Line Luxury Car. Super Comfortable And Super Fast. on 2040-cars
Reston, Virginia, United States
This is still an extraordinary luxury car.
I bought this Mark VIII from the owner of the repair shop where I have all my cars serviced. It is the first and the best of the two that I own. He was retiring and this was his wifes' car. He said he purchased it from an estate in NY with very low miles. He had it repainted when he got it. Totally maintained while he had it and I've maintained it well while I've owned it. Gave it to my wife for her use. Now that I'm up to 15 cars, I've got to sell about half of them to get back to 'normal'. This has the 4.6L double overhead cam and it is really, really fast. Fast off the line. Hitting passing gear at 45mph, it goes into 'hyperdrive.' Most amazing response. All of that and it still gets over 21 mpg. Please look at the pics carefully and note the peeling paint on the hood and front bumper and the dent on the leading edge of the hood. Needs a good car wash, buffing and interior detail. Drivers seat show heavy wear on the bolster. The air ride suspension has been replaced, so no issues there. The inspection sticker just expired and although the tires are first rate and have excellent tread, since it has been sitting for a couple of years with little use, the sidewalls have developed cracking and it will not pass a Virginia inspection. I haven't driven it enough since I've owned it to need to replace the new tires I put on it when I bought it! I've drove it at the end of May to work and back (50+ miles) without issue and the tires hold air without any problem, but I wouldn't take it at highway speeds for a long trip without addressing new tires. AC needs recharge. I do it about once a season. Time to let it go. |

Lincoln bringing in MKZ Hybrid over rollaway risk
Mon, 30 Dec 2013Federal safety standards require that every new car needs to have the brake depressed in order to shift it out of Park. But the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has found fault in the transmission range sensor on certain examples of the Lincoln MKZ Hybrid, allowing the car to be shifted out of Park without first depressing the brake. The fear is that with this condition, affected vehicles may be unintentionally pulled out of Park, resulting in a possible rollaway. That safety concern has prompted parent Ford Motor Company to issue a recall.
The issue pertains to 7,153 examples of the MKZ Hybrid built between April 26, 2012 and September 24, 2013, covering the 2013 and 2014 model years. As a result, Ford will notify owners to bring their MKZs into their local Lincoln dealer to have the Powertrain Control Module software updated in order to rectify the problem. See the full recall notice below for details.
Ford Q3 pretax profits drop to $1.18B
Fri, 24 Oct 2014Following positive third quarter financial results recently from General Motors, rival Ford took a tumble in Q3. The automaker posted pre-tax profits of $1.18 billion, compared to about $2.59 billion in Q3 2013, a drop of around 54 percent. Net income also suffered with $835 million made in the quarter, versus $1.272 billion last year, a decline of about 34 percent. The Blue Oval blamed the gloomy figures on three reasons in its release: "lower volume, higher warranty costs and adverse balance sheet exchange effects."
There were problems of one kind or another in practically every region. North America experienced higher warranty costs than expected, partially due to recalls. The sales volume for the quarter was 665,000 units, versus 725,000 in Q3 2013, and pre-tax results amounted to $1.41 billion versus $2.296 billion last year.
South America and Europe both posted worse pre-tax results than last year. On the bright side, European volume was up slightly to 321,000 vehicles, from 303,000 in Q3 2013. The Middle East and Africa also lost $15 million, but that was an improvement compared to the $25 million loss previously experienced in this region.
2015 Lincoln Navigator gets lots of updates, still not all-new [w/video]
Thu, 06 Feb 2014If there's one brand that could really use some fresh, all-new product, it's Lincoln. The MKC crossover is on the way and looks promising, but the just-revealed 2015 model year update of its fullsize Navigator would appear to stop somewhere short of being "all-new." This, despite replacing a product that's been on the market since 2007. Oh sure, there's a brash new face, complete with the company's love or hate split-wing grille, and the revised rear-end treatment does look better to our eyes (if overly familiar). But in the era of the bold new all-aluminum Ford F-150, the Navigator is still based on the outgoing model's all-steel bones, so it's more of an extensive mid-cycle refresh than a completely new piece.
Unlike the F-150, there's no aluminum suit on this black-tie bruiser
That's a shame, really, because the class the Navigator is playing in features a host of really modern, stylish, luxurious crossovers and sport utilities like the Cadillac Escalade, Land Rover Range Rover, Mercedes-Benz GL-Class and more. Unlike the F-150, there's no aluminum suit on this black-tie bruiser, but that's not to say it isn't bringing some new tech to the table in 2015. Under the hood, for example, is Ford's well-received 3.5-liter, twin-turbocharged EcoBoost V6, putting out "at least" 370 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque. That's a solid engine, and should be a whole lot more spunky and efficient than the archaic 5.4-liter Triton V8 currently being employed in the outgoing model.
