Hello - This is a rock solid car that is ready to enjoy immediately, drive anywhere, free of any concerns. Absolutely zero mechanical issues and everything works great.
The car starts, runs, drives, turns, stops, handles...without flaw and recently completed a 530 mile trip without a whimper.
A/C is ice cold, ALL power options work perfectly:
- Both windows go up and down quickly including the mini-vent windows
- Same for all six directions for both seats
- Power door locks are immediate and strong
- Intermittent wipers work as new, so does the washer fluid pump, squirters
- Headlight doors open and close smoothly
- AM/FM/8-track radio is 100% functional including the 8-track player (actually sounds good!)
- Still has the correct tri-axial power antenna that works with the factory CB radio, and it operates smoothly
- Horn and cruise controls, all check
- Turn signals, brake lights, hi/low beams, all good
- Even the clock keeps perfect time
Tires are fairly new with less than 4000 miles. Also new shocks, transmission rebuild, tune-up, battery and ignition module....much more. Receipts for all new parts and professional maintenance and service over past 3 years add up to the asking price of $4750.
Paint on the car is a ten footer. It still shines very nicely but has several touch-ups, scratches, couple door dings, etc...that are easy to see on close inspection. I say drive it and enjoy as is, but if you want to show it or must have new looking paint, it would have to be done and the car is certainly worthy of it. The only tiny specs of rust visible anywhere are in the lower left corner of the rear bumper, shown in a close-up. No signs of collision or rust damage elsewhere. The original Coach Roof vinyl top is perfect.
Interior shows wear and separated seams in the very lower outer corner of the driver's seat, but this is repairable, no tears, holes, etc. The interior otherwise is excellent; carpets, original floor mats, headliner, door panels, etc..all beautiful.
Engine compartment and undercarriage are also solid; again, not new or show quality, but very very nice - I'd say better than average driver quality.
I am advertising in several places, will end the auction immediately if it sells locally. We are located in Menasha, WI which is about 1.5 hour north of Milwaukee. I have plenty more pictures; please call me at 920-205-1295 to have them sent to you. I will happily accommodate any personal inspection of the car, and in fact strongly prefer it. There are several services available that will do this for a reasonable fee, or maybe try to find a forum member or similar to come for a test drive. I will drive up to an hour or so to help make this happen for you. I've never sold a car on ebay before, always preferring to deal in person - I want you to be happy with the car! Any questions, requests for more pictures, will be answered quickly. Working on a video to post online also - have been frustrated with this so far, but still trying...
Motor on,
Perry

2015 Lincoln Navigator ready to roll for $62,475*
Wed, 21 May 2014Fancy picking up a refreshed Lincoln Navigator? Well, prepare to shell out at least $62,475. That's a whopping increase of $6,310 for the now-EcoBoost-equipped SUV.
That's just for the two-wheel-drive Select model, though. Want to drive all four wheels? Better have an extra $3,575 laying around. Snagging the top-of-the-line Reserve model, meanwhile, demands a premium of $7,500.
For those extra bills, you'll net Lincoln Drive Control, complete with continuously controlled dampers, power running boards, Ziricote wood interior trim, upgraded leather, 22-inch wheels, a "unique" interior headliner and, of course, a "Reserve" badge.
Ford recalls 591,177 vehicles in four separate campaigns
Wed, Apr 29 2015Ford is issuing recalls for a total of 591,177 vehicles worldwide, in four separate campaigns. The announcement comes just days after the discovery of door-latch problems in 390,000 of the automaker's cars. The largest of these new recalls covers 518,313 examples of the Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ from the 2013-2015 model years, plus the 2015 Edge. Of these, 487,301 of are in the US and 31,012 are in Canada. For vehicles in cold-weather areas, the bolts that hold the steering gear motor can corrode and fracture. If this happens, it could cause the power steering to fail, but manual control would be retained. There are no reported accidents or injuries from this problem. To fix things, dealers will replace the bolts and seal them. The next campaign covers 50,157 examples of the 2014 Focus, Edge, Escape, and Transit Connect, plus the Fiesta from 2014 and 2015. Of these, 45,505 are in the US, 4,618 in Canada, and 34 in Mexico. All of them exhibit a problem with the fuel pump where the nickel plating can cause the part to seize and the engine to stall, if this occurs. (All of which sounds like recent problems with Nissan and BMW models.) According to Ford, there is one allegation of an accident from this problem. Dealers will replace the fuel delivery module to fix the problem. Ford is also recalling 22,616 units of the 2015 Lincoln MKZ because when the headlights are on, the parking lamps are brighter than they are allowed to be. The light could affect the vision of other drivers. This campaign includes 21,435 of them in the US, 1,066 in Canada and 115 in Mexico. There are no accidents or injuries from the issue, but Ford is updating the software to dim the lights on these sedans. Finally, Ford has a safety campaign for 91 examples of the 2015 F-150 because an underbody heat shield might not be properly installed or not present at all, which can be a fire risk. There are no reports of any actual accidents or fires, though. The affected pickups will have the parts replaced or added, as necessary after a dealer inspection. To see the specific build dates for the models affected by each of these campaigns, you can read about them in the press release below.

Lincoln video teases new things to come... but what?
Sun, 02 Dec 2012Lincoln has released a new video teasing... something. In what looks to be an advertisement for more advertising, the company has worked up a clip featuring everything from a drum solo and a flying hawk to Abraham Lincoln himself. The video shows a few shots of what looks to be an MKZ and promises more news is coming on Monday.
What does the company have up its sleeves? Rumors are bouncing around the web like so many ill-informed ping-pong balls, and cover everything from an alternative powertrain for the MKZ to a new two-door model - noise that is underscored by the presence of a Ford Mustang chassis lurking in the background of the video around the 27-second mark (see screen capture above).
Could Lincoln be considering a rear-wheel drive luxury coupe built on the pony's bones? A move like that seems awfully unlikely, but it certainly wouldn't hurt our feelings. Either way, we'll find out more tomorrow. In the interim, check out the teaser video below for yourself.
