2000 Lincoln Continental - Awesome Daily Driver - New Trans + Ac on 2040-cars
|
I am adding this statement to address the very odd report on this car:
Hope this helps relieve any ambiguity on the car! Thanks! DETAILS BELOW. This has been my daily driver for 3 years and it was bought new from a dealer in SC by my grandmother. It was given to me when I entered graduate school so I could reduce my bills. Well I have graduated now and I am unloading the "Silver Bullet." This car has been awesome and I would drive to CA in it tomorrow with no hesitation. I am super picky about maintenance on my equipment and I have kept this car in perfect mechanical shape. 138,500 Miles, V8 4.6 L, Traction Control, Really Well Equipped, SIDE AIR BAGS -Oil changes every 3,500-4,500 miles with synthetic / conventional blend -New A/C lines, compressor and condensor within last 10,000 miles -Rebuilt Transmission by Certified MotorCraft mechanic using MotorCraft parts within 25,000 miles -Bridgestone Turanza tires with 85% tread life left (60,000 mile tires) -Sway bars on rear suspension just replaced -Transmission flushed within 10,000 miles -New Serpentine Belt within 10,000 miles I have all the receipts and will gladly send them along with the car. I am sad to see it go since it has been in my family for it's whole life. This would make a perfect daily commuter to keep miles off other vehicles or a perfect SAFE first car for your teen. It handles great, feels really solid and it has tons of power. It is a 2000 model so it does have a few little intricacies but none of them effect the reliability or comfort of the car. Like I said I am really picky about my equipment. Please let me know if you would like to see it (email preferred). I am readily available and want to see it go to a good home. Thanks for looking.

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.
Ellen DeGeneres sends up Matthew McConaughey's Lincoln ad
Mon, 29 Sep 2014Lincoln had to have known that when it released its new ad campaign for the new MKC with Matthew McConaughey, it would open itself up to a bit of good old fashioned ridicule. The television commercial was, after all, good for a laugh or two. And true to their mission, talk show hosts haven't missed the opportunity to have a little fun at Lincoln's and McConaughey's expense.
Conan O'Brien was first to send up the television spot, but now Ellen DeGeneres has taken a stab at it too, superimposing herself in the back seat of the compact luxury crossover, downing some pot brownies and generally playing Costello to McConaughey's Abbott. It's worth a watch, if only to see Ellen getting down in her usual, offbeat style.
