The following auction is for a 1997 Lincoln Continental. I am the 2nd owner of this beautiful car, Car is loaded with everything that you could have loaded in 1997 as the original sticker price was over $40,000 (see pictures). The car has 64,754 miles on it. Car starts up on the first try ever try, even in the 6 degree cold winter blast Ohio has gotten the past week. Handles great in the snow and the car drives really smooth, nice strong engine. On the highway it feels like your barely moving. There are no check engine lights on and it was just in the shop two weeks ago for a tune-up and inspection. I bought the car from an older lady who had bought a new Lincoln and was looking to sell hers, I purchased the car over a year ago knowing that the breaks and ball joints needed done. So all new ceramic pads around, all new rotors around, new break lines, and new ball joints. Other than that the car was in great shape and needed nothing else done to it. Since owning it and driving it daily I've just had the routine basic problems, The 3rd month I had it the thermastat went bad so that has been replaced and just 2 weeks ago I had a tune up done to it, all new spark plugs, fuel filter, air filter, and oil change (as the spark plugs were the original spark plugs from 1997). The exterior of the car is beautiful except for a little are of rust above the rear right tire (The local body shop gave me a quote of $120 to fix it), but other than that little area of the car is rust and dent free. On the passenger side door where the panel is there is a couple of spec's of paint missing, didn't notice any other area's were there were chips and paint missing as the car was triple coated for additional cost when it was new. The car still shines like new with that beautiful pearl white finish. The interior of the car is near perfect, the only imperfection i see is under the passenger seat there looks to have been a red crayon or something of that nature that melted on the floor, I'm sure with a little elbow grease or cleaner this can be removed, but it's under the seat far enough to wear you do not see it unless the passenger seat is moved up. The car has a 6 disc CD player, that works perfectly, the sound in this car is loud an clear as their was a JBL Audio system premium Luxury Sound system put in when purchased. For the CD Player and Sound upgrade in 1997 the cost was over $900 extra to the final price. All seats are plump and tear or hole free. Some of the trim around looks like it had began to come loose and was not put back on very well, all on driver side door, also the window control on the passenger side the plastic piece that covers it is not all the way flush. 2 very minor things that are hard to notice and see, but I want to fully describe the car the best I can. Tires are all matching and have over 60% of tread left, the wheels and rims are all matching, but the back right head cap has been replaced with a different year Lincoln head cap and the back left one was not put back on and is in the trunk for some reason? The trunk and gas release work well and all other power options do as well, seat controls, cruise control, power windows including express down driver window, power mirrors, and anything else I may have forgot. Trunk is big and also very clean. The only other minor issue with the inside of the car, the rear view mirror looks to have gotten water in it, she must have left the sun roof open and it rained in. You can see out of it fine, but it's a little streaky and discolored. I know what you all are thinking well if this car is as great as it sounds why are you selling it?? Well here's the answer, the gas is terrible It only gets 20-22 miles to the gallon which was fine when I only had 5 miles to drive to work, but now I have over 40 and I am getting a newer civic in 2 weeks so I do not need this car anymore. Another negative with the gas is you must use premium fuel only. You can put regular unleaded in, but then you will only get about 12-14 miles per gallon. Car has been a great car for me and besides the thermastat the one day it has never left me stranded. I still use it every day to drive 40+ miles one way so the actual mileage will probably be closer to 65,000 when auction ends. I have tried to describe this car to the best of my knowledge and test drives are welcome and yes you can take it to your mechanic to have it checked out. Most continental in this range of years have 200-250K miles on them so this baby is just getting started. Clean and Clear title in hand. Car is sold as is were is and there is no warranty on it. The car is located in crestline, ohio and is also for sale locally, I have started the opening bid at less than 50% of kelly blue book value and the BIN price is also less than KBB value. Car must be payed for in full within 3 days. $1500 of which is due within 48 hours of auction ending. The car comes with 3 sets of keys. If you have any questions at all feel free to shoot me an email and I will answer them to the best of my ability.

Lincoln reveals MKC compact crossover ahead of LA debut [w/video]
Wed, 13 Nov 2013It used to be that if you wanted a luxury SUV, you had to go big. Just look at the first high-riders released by some of the major luxury automakers - Audi Q7, Cadillac Escalade, Lexus LX - and you'll see what we mean. But since 2009 the small premium crossover segment has grown a whopping 200 percent, so it's no surprise that each has followed up with smaller luxury crossovers. And this is the latest.
At the other end of the utility spectrum from the Navigator, the new Lincoln MKC is based on the Ford Escape (much as the old pseudo-premium Mercury Mariner was), but completely rebodied and luxed up to put it in another league. Although we're still not sold on Lincoln's family fascia, the grille treatment on the MKC is certainly one of the better variations on the theme to date. The Dart-like rear lights dominate the wrap-around tailgate, and the overall shape looks taut and upscale. The same can be said of the dynamically-designed interior, taking the concept revealed in Detroit earlier this year to production fairly seamlessly.
Power will come from a choice of EcoBoost four-cylinder engines with turbocharging and direct injection: a 2.0-liter with 240 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque, or a slightly punchier new 2.3-liter with 275 hp and 300 lb-ft. Lincoln didn't disclose what transmission they'll be mated to, but did note that the MKC carries the brand's "signature" push-button gear shifter. It comes standard in front drive, but buyers who upgrade to all-wheel drive (or tick the right box) will also benefit from a new adaptive suspension Lincoln calls Continuously Controlled Damping. Other features include an approach-detection system that lights the car up and projects a Lincoln "welcome mat" on the pavement when you get close to the car, and a "bread-crumbing" feature that lets you track where your vehicle has been.
Lincoln MKC spied in final form
Mon, 14 Oct 2013When the Lincoln MKC Concept debuted back in January, it received fairly positive feedback from both Autoblog editors and readers alike, and this bodes well for the production version of the luxury crossover judging by these latest spy shots. Reader Ivan Lo captured a few pictures of some MKC prototypes driving around with minimal camouflage, which gives us our best look yet at the design of this new Escape-based Lincoln.
Based on the spy shots from back in May, we already knew that the production MKC would sport some real door handles, a little side cladding and bigger door mirrors, but these latest shots also show us that the rear quarter windows have been enlarged and the integrated dual exhaust outlets have been replaced by round pipes. This means that the MKC will retain the concept's narrow headlights and what is arguably Lincoln's best execution of its split-wing grille. Even better, the rear view confirms the stylish horizontal taillights will remain intact, as well as the Audi-like wraparound liftgate. Since the entire taillight assembly rises along with the liftgate, redundant lights were also added into the rear fascia.
Unfortunately, the low angle of these spy shots leaves us without a view of the interior, but based on its looks alone, the MKC is shaping up to be a promising vehicle for a brand that so badly needs some fresh metal.
Honda, Volvo, Lincoln are North American Car, Utility and Truck of the Year
Mon, Jan 15 2018The Detroit Auto Show has officially kicked off, as it always does, with the announcement of the North American Car, Utility Vehicle and Truck of the Year winners. For 2018, those are the Honda Accord, Volvo XC60 and Lincoln Navigator, respectively. The Honda Accord beat out two other finalists, the Toyota Camry and the new Kia Stinger. The Accord stood out for its styling, drivability and standard equipment. The Volvo XC60 came out ahead of the Alfa Romeo Stelvio and Honda Odyssey minivan. It was chosen for its luxury, ride and value when equipped well. The Lincoln Navigator, a heavily updated model that remained true to the concept car on which it was based, beat the Ford Expedition, as well as the only pickup in the list, the Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 (which was a finalist for Autoblog's own Technology of the Year Award). NACTOY juror Ron Sessions complimented the "more dramatic update" compared to the Expedition. "With its design now aligned with the Continental, the Navigator becomes an even more important image — and the profit-maker for Lincoln," he said. The NACTOY Awards have been around since 1994. A panel of 60 judges, all automotive journalists, whittle the list down to three finalists in each category before announcing the winners in January. The Utility Vehicle category was added for 2017.
