Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"This is the last of the aircraft carrier-sized American personal luxury cars. Big, fast, plush and posh, built to turn heads and drive like a sporty car while riding like a cloud. This is probably the best Mark VIII for sale in the country. It has 35,000 miles on it, and it looks like it just rolled off the lot. Only 14,357 1998 Mark VII's were built, only 2,351 in this preferred White Pearlescent. It still turns heads.Did I say fast? Popular Hot Rodding took one to Bonneville and clocked 181.7 mph. *4.6 L dual OH cam 4-valve-per-cylinder light alloy V-8 *Keyless entry*Power everything, including memory seats and tilt/telescope steering wheel*Leather seats, steering wheel, shifter and dash*Original factory carpet mats*Self-leveling air-bag suspension (recently replaced)*JBL sound system with CD*Tach, traction control*Automatic ACPerfectly maintained, all records and original bill of sale included."

This is the most nearly perfect 15-year-old daily driver I have ever seen. There is visible wear on the driver's seat, as one would expect on a daily driver. Carpet is excellent and the original mats are clean. Dash is perfect, as is original wood trim. Wear marks on inside door handle on drivers side and around key insertion. Everything else inside looks brand new.

Original paint is excellent, as the car was always garaged. If you look very closely, there are slight imperfections on the left front corner of the bumper. There are no chips or road rash on the front bumper or hood. Mirrors are perfect. No dulling of headlights or taillights. Chrome is perfect. Wheels are perfect. No rust anywhere. There is one door ding that can be seen under just the right light, just over the rear wheel rim. The bottom outside of the driver's door is bent (it appears he backed over something with the door open.) Additional photos can be provided upon request.

The owner kept every record of everything done to the car since new, as well as the original receipt. Most maintenance was done by the dealer, but some simple things were handled at the local station. The car was always hand-washed and waxed. It is very clean under the hood, and all the factory sticker and decals still look new. Mechanically, there appear to be no problems. Tires show wear but are good for several thousand more miles.

Everything works, both mechanically and electronically. Everything. All the automatic functions are still working, as the owner took it to the shop any time anything wasn't perfect. Wonderful car with collector's appeal.

I am selling the car for the owner's estate. I knew him personally and know how he took care of this vehicle. If you have any questions or requests, please contact me (Jeff).

Ford to update Sync, MyFord Touch software... again

Wed, 07 Aug 2013

Ford hasn't had the best luck with its MyFord Touch and Sync systems, as the finicky infotainment system has been subject to a critical whooping while customer issues have helped sink Ford's IQS scores. The automaker has made a concerted effort, though, to try and fix MyFord Touch. And while the results have been mixed, The Blue Oval is hoping its latest free update, set to go live next week, will make things better.
According to a report from The Detroit News, the new system promises streamlined voice commands with fewer levels between opening query and actual result. Ford is also addressing where certain options are selected on the touchscreen. Rather than working one of the four quadrants on the homescreen, users will be able to select anywhere within the quadrant to make adjustments.
While it might only be a band-aid for MFT's problems, the fact that Ford is still trying to improve it is a promising sign. It's going to take more than just this update to address the system's ills, though.

Ford recalls 591,177 vehicles in four separate campaigns

Wed, Apr 29 2015

Ford 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 putting perfume on its sales

Mon, 18 Aug 2014

Lincoln has a scent. But unlike those from Mustang, Lamborghini or even Shark by Tara, you can't buy it and you have to visit a Lincoln dealership to inhale its notes of jasmine hedione, mate tea leaves and tonka beans. Essence of Lincoln - that's what it's called - is being piped through the ventilation systems at some showrooms to help "create an emotional connection between the luxury brand and its customers," and olfactorily promote the idea of "luxury and warmth." Where it's not run through the ducts, visitors can sample it on scent cards.
Master perfumer Rene Morgenthaler worked with aroma house SensoryMax to design Essence of Lincoln. Also including traces of Earl Grey bergamot and green tea, whenever you encounter it you're meant to enjoy "a feeling of belonging to an exclusive, forward-thinking group that values style and success." And then buy an MKC. There's a press release below with details and an image to explain more, if you're still having a little trouble smelling the orange blossoms.
