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).

Hyundai, Kia, Genesis and Subaru clean up in IIHS 2018 safety ratings

Thu, Dec 7 2017

Hyundai, its partner Kia and its Genesis division are the big winners in the latest vehicle safety ratings from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, accounting for six of the 15 models that earned the Top Safety Pick+ awards for 2018. Subaru was right behind with four, Mercedes-Benz had two, and Toyota, BMW and Ford each had one. Another 47 vehicles earned the Top Safety Pick designation, where Toyota had 10 vehicle models, with Hyundai recognized for nine models. All but one of the seven vehicles in Subaru's lineup, the BRZ, qualified for one of the awards. IIHS strengthened the criteria for the Top Safety Pick+ award for 2018 to require headlights to earn a "good" rating — an "acceptable" rating was previously enough to notch the "plus" award — and good or acceptable passenger-side protection in the small overlap front crash, which replicates a crash involving just the front corner of a vehicle. It also required vehicles to have acceptable or good headlights for the first time to earn a Top Safety Pick award. Most of winners for both awards qualified on the basis of optional upgrades. IIHS in October began evaluating the passenger side of vehicles in its small overlap front crash test after it said it became clear that automakers were neglecting that side of the vehicle as they focused on improving driver-side protections. IIHS first began conducting driver-side small overlap crashes in 2012. It began measuring both how well low and high beams illuminated the road and the amount of glare they produce for oncoming vehicles as part of its ratings in 2016. The Top Safety Pick+ winners are listed below. The list doesn't include any minivans, pickups or minicars, which don't appear on either list of awardees. Small cars Kia Forte Kia Soul Subaru Impreza (sedan and wagon) Subaru WRX Midsize cars Subaru Legacy Subaru Outback Toyota Camry Large luxury cars BMW 5 series Genesis G80 Genesis G90 Lincoln Continental Mercedes-Benz E-Class sedan Midsize SUVs Hyundai Santa Fe Hyundai Santa Fe Sport Midsize luxury SUV Mercedes-Benz GLC The full list of Top Safety Pick winners is available here.Related Video: Image Credit: IIHS BMW Genesis Hyundai Kia Lincoln Subaru Toyota Safety Crossover SUV Wagon Sedan crash test

In this week's Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Senior Editor, Green, John Beltz Snyder and Associate Editor Joel Stocksdale. This week, they focus on the cars they're driving, starting with the hardcore, four-door Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S. Then they move on to the aging Lexus GX 460 and the plucky Fiat 124 Spider Abarth. They discuss the practical-yet-luxurious Lincoln Nautilus, as well as the state of Lincoln as a whole (did you hear it just got a new design boss?). Finally, they help pick a modern vehicle for someone with a hankering for the look of the classic Ford Bronco.

Lincoln recycling tree fibers into new MKX armrest

Thu, Feb 27 2014

Want to hug a tree, or at least a really small part of one. Then set your arm down on one of those armrests in the 2014 Lincoln MKX crossover. The US automaker is working with Weyerhaeuser and Johnson Controls on a tree-based, cellulose-reinforced polypropylene material used in the component that connects the armrest to the floor console, Wards Auto says. With properties similar to plastic, the tree-based material replaces fiberglass and is about six percent lighter. No big deal for now, but if the material starts getting used for things like battery trays and interior storage covers, that loss in weight may eventually start adding up enough to boost fuel economy a bit, providing a green double bonus. Lincoln parent Ford, which isn't saying how much more (or less?) it costs to use the new material, established its Biomaterials and Plastics Research team in 2001. In 2007, the company began using soy-based foam in car seats used for models such as the Lincoln Navigator and Ford Mustang and has since broadened biomaterials use to components like floormats and cupholder inserts. Ford also used recycled plastic bottles from the 2012 North America International Auto Show for seats in the Focus Electric.
