1997 Lincoln Town Car Stretch Limo Limousine on 2040-cars
Normal, Illinois, United States
|
This limo was purchased for a weeklong bachelor party last month. I searched high and low for an older limousine that had a good engine that could hold 10-11 people. I found this one on the north side of Chicago, donated to a church by a man who originally wanted to ship it to Romania. We put 500 miles on the car with 11 people in it, no problem. Tires, brakes, transmission, engine, steering all work as they should. Not sure about the engine history but it's very clean and appears to have some work done to it recently as several parts look very new (see pictures). I have a clear Illinois title in hand, although I did find some rebuilt history in another state when looking up the VIN. Interior is in good shape, power windows, power locks, power sunroof all work. Air and heat work. The car came from California so rust is not an issue. Send along any questions and I'll answer them honestly and quickly. If you're looking for a cheaper good running old limo, you found it. Car is currently located in Bloomington, IL but I would consider delivering within 200 miles.
EDIT: eBay is making me list this car as having a salvage title. It looks like from the vehicle history this car has been issued a salvage and rebuilt title quite a few years ago. It also looks like this car has been roadworthy for some years now. I'm afraid I don't have much more information than this, and the church I purchased it from didn't have any knowledge of the car's history other than it being purchased and shipped from California to Illinois last fall. The title I have in hand is a clear Illinois title. On Jun-09-14 at 13:55:27 PDT, seller added the following information: I encourage anyone interested to message me with any questions or concerns. I have a couple walkaround videos of the vehicle as well. I'd be happy to provide any information I can. |

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.
Lincoln drops MKX base price to $38,995
Mon, Jun 22 2015Lincoln is giving the 2016 MKX a major improvement in style and tech, and is introducing the 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 as an option for the luxury crossover. While all of those changes are significant, the cost might be just as enticing to get customers checking out the new generation. The base price for 2016 falls to $38,995, after an $895 destination charge on all models, compared to $39,795 for the 2015. At this time, there are three trim levels listed on Lincoln's site, but a Black Label version is supposed to come along later to add a bit more opulence. Above the base Premiere trim, the Select model starts at $42,285, and adds features like LED running lights, folding and heated mirrors, leather seats, and a power hatch. Spending $46,050 brings buyers to the Reserve trim with upgrades including a panoramic sunroof, 20-inch wheels, navigation, adaptive headlights, and heated seats. There are a huge number of individual options available, including full LED headlights and a safety suite of tech. Opting for the 2.7-liter EcoBoost pushes the price of any trim up an extra $2,000, and checking the box for all-wheel drive brings with it an added $2,495. As ever, you can spec one out yourself on the official configurator here.
NHTSA closes rollaway investigation into 1.56M Ford SUVs
Mon, 11 Mar 2013It's taken four years of study, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has finally closed the books on its investigation into rollaway accusations surrounding 1.56-million Ford SUV models.
The probe, which centered on the 2002-2005 Ford Explorer, 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer and 2003-2005 Lincoln Aviator, ends without the federal agency calling for a recall. According to The Detroit News, the investigation was closed due to a "low number of complaints" - NHTSA documented 180 such complaints that resulted in 14 crashes and six minor injuries, but the number of incidents have been slowing. The suspected defect rate for the trucks' automatic transmissions was found to be 4.4 per 100,000 units, and the brake-shift interlock mechanism failure rate was judged to be even lower at 3.4 per 100k.
