This is my wife's 1998 Lincoln Mark VIII LSC Collectors Series.It is a sporty and fast 2 door coupe that seats 5. We are the second owners. We bought it from our neighbor in 2008. My wife likes it but wanted a 4-door since the children are older and don't like climbing in. Not included in option list above is heated driver and passenger seats, both work fine. Car has automatic climate control and the A/C blows cold. There are NO engine or transmission issues at all and NO leaks of anything.

I changed the air ride system to the coil and shock refit. The lower and upper control arms were all replaced and aligned in Nov 2012. There were too many components to the air ride that seemed to always need some attention. It runs great and rides well. Most of our miles were highway since the children's school was 23 miles one way. She gets around 23 miles a gallon on the road.

These cars are notorious for the linkage breaking that controls the heater door that directs hot air into the car. Mine did break. $5 dollar part and $350 in labor. I did it myself using instructions from the Lincoln Owners Group (free to join and extremely helpful). Per suggestions from the group I placed a brass sleeve over the part to make sure it never broke again and also modified the linkage arm to prevent excessive pressure.

You can see in the pictures that the car isn't perfect. Paint is great with NO clearcoat peeling. There are some spots on the door trim where paint has come off the edges as well as the drivers side mirror at the base. The interior is beige. The seats show some wear but there is no holes or tears in the leather.

The LSC has a few nice options like larger intake ports and no speed restrictor like the other Mark VIII's. There are a couple other differences that I forgot.

There are 7 known problems with this car, other than tires I feel they are minor issues. We tried the police interceptor tires on it. Mistake, made the ride too hard for my liking. They need to be replaced very soon. 2, The fuel door release at the drivers seat doesn't always release. You can hear it actuate but not always enough to open the door. There is a pull release in the trunk. 3, the fan motor is sometimes intermittent. The connector may be loose. 4, the rear view mirror is in position but is loose. 5, the computer that monitors the cars systems alerts an air ride error because the system is bypassed. 6, the drivers seat control panel is loose. 7, the chrome covers on the window controls on the drivers door came off but the switches work. just fine.

Included in the sale is an extra pair of rims, one right and one left. A friend parted out a wrecked Mark VII with the same wheels so I bought them just in case. I'm told they retail for $800 each from Lincoln. Also bought from him was a drivers airbag and 4 or 5 cylinder coils.

This is a fine and solid car, NO rust and NO rattles. Always been a southern car bought here in Lawrenceburg and always owned here. I feel you could drive this car anywhere without mechanical issues BUT it is used and is being sold as-is and no warranty.

Feel free to ask questions. I will check my messages every evening.

Ex-GM VP LaNeve takes over Lincoln ad agency

Wed, 10 Apr 2013

Those of you that caught yesterday's op-ed about Lincoln will have heard already, but Mark LaNeve has taken the helm at Team Detroit. Once the North American vice president of sales, service and marketing for General Motors, LaNeve will now head up the agency that handles all of Ford advertising. LaNeve will also run the account for Lincoln. While at GM from 2001 to 2009, the exec oversaw ad campaigns like Cadillac's Breakthrough and sales initiatives like "Employee Pricing for Everyone."
He left in 2009 to join Allstate as chief marketing officer, oversaw the creation of the Mayhem ad spots and was moved into the role of VP of agency operations overseeing Allstate's 10,000 agents. He resigned from the insurer in February 2012 for personal reasons and joined Team Detroit in August 2012 as chief operating officer, in charge of satellite offices in New York and internationally. He replaces ex-CEO Cameron McNaughton, and will continue to hold the title of COO.
Lincoln is trying to get its 2013 back to rights after putting big dollar commercials for the 2013 MKZ on television then having production glitches preventing cars from getting to dealerships. With rumors of a relaunch in the works, it's no surprise LaNeve has been given the reins - and from here it looks like the brand is desperate for the kind of magic he's proved he can marshal. Perhaps he can start by calling a mulligan on the renaming exercise that gave us the hoary "Lincoln Motor Company" and go back to oh, say, "Lincoln." Then he can ask the product folks to get to work on the MKC concept...

Ford recalling 370,000 Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Town Car models

Fri, 30 Aug 2013

The Detroit News is reporting that Ford will recall some 370,000 Crown Victoria (pictured), Mercury Grand Marquis and Lincoln Town Car vehicles from model years 2005 through 2011, for an issue regarding the lower intermediate steering shaft. 355,000 of the vehicles in question were sold in the US, with the other 15,000 sold in Canada.
The report indicates that corrosion of the lower intermediate steering shaft could cause a "loss of steering," presumably because of a partial or complete failure of the part. The report points out the dealers will inspect and replace the offending steering component for recalled cars, and may also secure a lower steering column bearing and replace the upper intermediate steering shaft as needed. The company is unaware of any reports of the faulty part causing any accidents or injuries.
Ford helpfully lists states in which corrosion is more likely to have taken place, mostly in the Snow Belt, as you might guess. Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Wisconsin, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia are listed.

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.
