Top Of The Line Luxury Car. Super Comfortable And Super Fast. on 2040-cars

This is still an extraordinary luxury car.
I bought this Mark VIII from the owner of the repair shop where I have all my cars serviced. It is the first and the best of the two that I own. He was retiring and this was his wifes' car. He said he purchased it from an estate in NY with very low miles. He had it repainted when he got it. Totally maintained while he had it and I've maintained it well while I've owned it. Gave it to my wife for her use. Now that I'm up to 15 cars, I've got to sell about half of them to get back to 'normal'. This has the 4.6L double overhead cam and it is really, really fast. Fast off the line. Hitting passing gear at 45mph, it goes into 'hyperdrive.' Most amazing response. All of that and it still gets over 21 mpg. Please look at the pics carefully and note the peeling paint on the hood and front bumper and the dent on the leading edge of the hood. Needs a good car wash, buffing and interior detail. Drivers seat show heavy wear on the bolster. The air ride suspension has been replaced, so no issues there. The inspection sticker just expired and although the tires are first rate and have excellent tread, since it has been sitting for a couple of years with little use, the sidewalls have developed cracking and it will not pass a Virginia inspection. I haven't driven it enough since I've owned it to need to replace the new tires I put on it when I bought it! I've drove it at the end of May to work and back (50+ miles) without issue and the tires hold air without any problem, but I wouldn't take it at highway speeds for a long trip without addressing new tires. AC needs recharge. I do it about once a season. Time to let it go. |

Preposed class-action lawsuit targets 'defective' MyFord Touch
Tue, 16 Jul 2013A national law firm, Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP, has filed a proposed class action lawsuit whose presupposition is that MyFord Touch is defective. Specifically, the complaint states that the system - as well as the MyLincoln Touch and MyMercury Touch clones - often freeze, fail to respond to voice or touch commands and have issues connecting to mobile phones.
According to Hagens Berman managing partner Steve Berman, MyFord Touch is a theoretically "brilliant idea" that falls short in actual execution. Said Berman in a press release, "In reality, the system is fundamentally flawed, failing to reliably provide functionality, amounting to an inconvenience at best, and a serious safety issue at worst."
Other MFT issues enumerated within the 41-page filing include problems controlling the window defroster, rear-view camera and navigation system. The suit maintains that Ford is aware of the problem but has yet to submit a workable and acceptable solution to MFT customers. Scroll down if you'd like to read the full press release.
Lincoln Continental production likely to shift to Flat Rock
Fri, Jun 12 2015Lincoln production may be returning to Michigan, according to a new report from Automotive News. While the brand's current big sedan, the MKS, is built alongside the Ford Taurus, Ford Explorer, and their Police Interceptor counterparts at the Blue Oval's Chicago, IL factory, the production version of the Continental won't be screwed together in the Windy City. According to AN, "industry sources" claim the Continental will join the Ford Mustang and Ford Fusion – on which the big Lincoln is loosely based – at the company's Flat Rock, MI factory. The move isn't just based on convenience, though. Ford is selling a lot of Explorers, and shifting Lincoln production away from Chicago Assembly frees up production capacity for the popular SUV. "Chicago Assembly Plant is vital to our global manufacturing footprint and will continue to manufacture the Ford Taurus, Ford Explorer and Police Interceptor vehicles even after we phase out production of the MKS in 2016," Ford told Automotive News. "We will continue to match production to demand." Looking at the numbers further backs up the argument against Lincoln production in Chicago. Last year alone, Ford built nearly 285,000 Explorers and over 73,000 Taurus sedans, compared to just 8,300 Lincolns. Finally, as AN tells it, Ford is almost telegraphing the Continental's arrival in Flat Rock. The facility has a four-week shut down scheduled from June 15 through July 13, which is twice as long as the typical summer vacation, while there's another two weeks off slated for September.
