Continuing...."1987 Lincoln Continental Excellent Running, Clean Cherry California Classic Fully Loaded.  Runs Excellent. Near Show Quality In & Out *. Extras!Only 75,000 Miles. California Garage-Kept mostly Indoors. Only 1 previous owner!  Original Vintage Glove Box Manuals, Vintage DMV Documents from 1987, and other extras. Base Model with original Givenchy logo on inside dash, I believe indicating such Choice Styling / Trim & Similar Color Options except for no Two-Tone Paint & No Branded Givenchy Logo on the Seats or Floor mats.

Although this is documented in some Car Histories as the Base Model it appears that in this 1987, last year of this styling, my car was offered with some extra styling options and a Givenchy logo on the inside dash indicating it has Givenchy Styling / Trim and Similar Color Options except for no Two Tone Paint and No Branded Givenchy Logo on the Seats or Floor mats. 

In addition to running excellent it has  Near Mint / Near Show In & Out w Extras! No Tears, No Rips, Very Few Dings / Scratches (See Extensive pics) Good Anti-Lock Brakes although the light comes on and I don't know why, Good Air Ride Suspension with Curbside Adjustment Feature = sometimes the drivers front air shock takes a little longer to fill but rides good when filled, will eventually need to be looked at or replaced, the drivers air shock does slowly empty while driving longer distances or on roads with sharp curves, i was told it may be an easy electrical module fix, (or for your awareness, I was also told that some owners of this type of vehicle like to convert the shocks with a fairly easy and affordable conversion kit).  Some areas of attention: original valve covers are probably in need of a basic tightening or valve cover for preventing oil moisture around a bottom valve covers.

Other History When We Purchased This Continental Locally:

 - We bought it from original owners in about Summer 2012
 - Previous to us the Continental sat at owners / home garage for several years as owner became ill.
 - Vehicle was periodically turned on and warmed up during sitting time of approximately 6 years.
 - Once we purchased vehicle it had been taken out of the garage a few months prior.
 - Battery on Vehicle was weak and it was replaced.
 - Upon doing so all gauges and operational motor / drive train became operational
 - At that time before battery change the digital odometer displayed original miles once car was turned on of exactly 67,437.
 - After battery change the odometer read "ERROR" and displayed no mileage. (We immediately started documenting every mile that we have put on the car hence forth via internal mileage gauge and wrote it down on a register we keep in the glove compartment)
 - For a few weeks that is all it read "ERROR"
 - Then, spontaneously one day it reset itself at: "000000.0" and started accurate displayed mileage from that point until today...where it reads "6,240" miles
 - Additionally we started researching odometer repair options and found several solutions online that we documented but did not purchase or move forward on.
 - Such solutions included a new odometer module that could be replaced in the dash and such new module would read original mileage in the car's computer and display it properly.
 - Such odometer repair parts are reasonably priced and available third party online/ebay etc. and require minimal removal of front dash plastic panel and some electrical steps in order to repair.
 - This we leave to the buyer to handle and have not considered such repair as we are selling car.
 - Actual Verifiable Mileage Displayed on Car and our registered odometer notes by hand bring mileage to 78,403 to date.  Such copies of documents and dates are available for examination at any time by bidders/buyer.
 - Regarding Vehicle Vin History Reports containing odometer reports, our records should agree with them. Note: In 2012 upon registering and California Smog inspections, such documented mileage was reported and is documented at exactly 70,203 in such vin / vehicle histories as well. California dmv, though, is mileage exempt for reporting purposes for older cars. While we did not run our own extensive CarFax for odometer purposes, others may feel free to do so. 

We did run a preliminary vin history with basic odometer report from a third party online report and such mileage does appear as stated as well as other facts that show the vehicle as clearing most of the major points one might be concerned about and we find nothing out of the ordinary to report via such history report. Our purchased basic report is available for review as an electronic document to whomever would want to review it.  An excerpt is below

2020 Lincoln Corsair gets a price, and there's a wide range

Fri, May 17 2019

The 2020 Lincoln Corsair configurator is open for business, and that means we also know the luxury compact crossover's price. It starts at $36,940, including the $995 destination charge. If you try your hardest and tick every single box Lincoln lets you, it's possible to get the price above $60,000. We're not suggesting you do that like we did, but it's always interesting to know how high it can go. Read everything we know so far about the 2020 Lincoln Corsair The base price gets you a Corsair "Standard" that is equipped with a 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder making 250 horsepower and 275 pound-feet of torque sent to the front wheels. If you want all-wheel drive, Lincoln forces the selection of the "Standard I" equipment package, which ends up resulting in a $3,600 increase. That package consists of ambient lighting, a universal garage door opener, navigation and 18-inch wheels. One of the more expensive boxes you're likely to check on the entry-level trim is the Co-Pilot360 Plus Package for $3,050. That includes a bunch of driver assistance gear like adaptive cruise control, lane centering, sign recognition and evasive steering assist. A $2,500 Premium Package nets premium leather seats, a panoramic roof and 19-inch wheels. 2020 Lincoln Corsair View 12 Photos Of course, you can skip a lot of the option and package jumping by choosing the "Reserve" trim that begins at $43,625 with some premium stuff already included. This also unlocks the ability to get the 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine, which makes 280 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque. Selecting this forces the Reserve I package and all-wheel drive onto the table, which gives you a ton of equipment, but also increases the price by $6,740. This makes the cheapest Corsair with the most powerful engine start at $50,365. You can go crazy from there, tacking on the Reserve II Package for features like adaptive suspension, ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, a heated steering wheel, 360-degree camera, wireless charging pad, digital gauge cluster and rain-sensing wipers. Like we said, this thing can get near or over $60,000 without much effort. The Corsair's base price compares favorably to other compact luxury crossovers like the $41,995 BMW X3 and $40,700 Mercedes-Benz GLC. However, adding in a desirable option like the higher-output engine brings the price up considerably.

Buyers ditching expensive European sedans to buy expensive American trucks

Mon, Feb 19 2018

The New York Times ended the automotive week with a story that adds numbers and context to a range of other stories, from the crossover craze to the increasing median price of a new car to ever more grandiose pickup trucks. The NYT piece reveals that the shift to larger vehicles isn't merely about the average U.S. buyer swapping the midsize sedan for a Ford Edge. Luxury buyers are migrating from plush sedans to plush SUVs and trucks that creep close to six-figure prices, and the Detroit Three are running Treasury presses because of it. From 2013 to 2017, the truck category — everything from pickups to minivans — climbed from 30 percent of the market to 41 percent. In January of this year, trucks claimed 66 percent of new vehicle sales. At the milk-and-honey end of profits, GMC alone accounted for 11.3 percent of all vehicle sales over $60,000, not just trucks. That puts the luxury truck maker behind Mercedes-Benz and Ford, The Blue Oval's feasting on Lariat, King Ranch and Raptor versions of the F-150, which make up more than half of that pickup's sales, putting it ahead of Chevrolet, Porsche and Lexus on the high-dollar sales list. The average transaction price of a GMC in Denali trim last year was $56,000; it's easy to see why, when one dealer told the NYT he just swapped a 2012 BMW 550i for a $71,000 GMC Sierra Denali. That truck starts at $52,900. The NYT started its story with a buyer who took home a Ford Raptor instead of an Audi A6, and optioned that $50,020 Ford Raptor close to $80,000. Over at Lincoln, the new $72,055 Navigator — the one so popular that Ford will increase production — crossed hands for an average sale price of $77,000 in January. And a Jeep dealer told the NYT that the two $93,000 Trackhawks he had on his lot "won't be here more than a few weeks." While trucks head up in sales volume and price, cars are headed so viciously in the opposite direction that "the Detroit Three and even some foreign manufacturers acknowledge they are now losing money on many of the cars they sell." So ... get ready for a lot more crossovers and trucks. Related Video: Find out what vehicle is right for you. Give our Car Finder tool a try.
