1995 Lincoln Town Car Cartier Edition, 168,680 miles, V8 engine runs strong. Quiet and super smooth ride on new Michelin tires ($500 value). Power everything.
This car was donated to a non-profit organization, so I'm afraid I don't know all the details of its history, but feel free to ask and I'll do my best. It's registered through June 2013 in California - and I believe it's always been a California car (San Jose area so great weather, no salt). I drove it about 90 miles to get it here to Davis, mostly on the freeway and found it extremely comfortable, quiet, powerful, and with a great sound system.
The air suspension makes a soft rumble for 30 seconds when you first start the engine, then silent and cushy after that - I assume that's normal. The air pump/compressor was replaced at some point. The body is very straight with just minor issues here and there if you look closely, with the largest scratches on the front bumper (see picture). The paint needs polishing compound, is oxidized in places, especially on the roof.
Interior is in great shape overall, especially the dash and the back seat which appears to be unused. Trunk is incredibly clean.
All the main electrical bells and whistles work making for a luxurious ride, windows, door locks, mirrors, interior lights, dash lights and controls, radio, cassette, 10 CD changer in trunk.
Known issues:
There is a roughly 0.3 amp drain on the battery so the owner installed a battery switch on it making it easy to disconnect if you're not going to drive it daily. I'm no expert on these matters, but the other quirk which may be related is that the radio stays on when you turn off the ignition and pull the key out. Since the ignition is not supposed to power the radio when the key's out, my guess is that it's also powering some other things in the same position which it shouldn't be doing - so maybe just a new ignition switch will take care of it? The dash clock sometimes works, sometimes doesn't.
The seat heaters apparently aren't working. Also the cruise control doesn't seem to come on, although I'm not certain that I'm turning it on correctly - just using the buttons on the steering wheel?
The climate control appears to work and can be controlled from the steering wheel, however, it's not clear if the A/C is blowing cold or not ... it's been to cold here to tell! If the compressor isn't engaging, it may just need some freon to get it up to pressure and working again.
The overhead is drooping in places and the driver's visor has some tears in it - needs a new cover.

Ford recalls Explorer and Lincoln MKC for fire hazard
Thu, Mar 31 2016The Basics: Ford will recall 5,536 examples of the 2016 Explorer and 2015-2016 Lincoln MKC. The Explorers have build dates between October 20, 2014, and January 28, 2016, at the Chicago Assembly Plant. The MKCs are from between November 25, 2013, and January 25, 2016, at the Louisville Assembly Plant. In total, there are 3,129 total affected examples of the 2015-2016 Lincoln MKC and 2,407 examples of the 2016 Ford Explorer. Of these, 1,543 are in the US and 3,993 are in Canada. The Problem: The combination of the engine block design and the block heater in these vehicles can cause the part to overheat when plugged in. Injuries/Deaths: None reported, but there are two cases of underhood fires in Canada. If you own one: Ford will begin notifying owners during the week of May 16, company spokesperson John Cangany tells Autoblog. Related Video: Ford issues safety recall for certain 2015-2016 Lincoln MKC and 2016 Ford Explorer vehicles to replace engine block heaters Ford is issuing a safety recall for approximately 5,500 2015-2016 Lincoln MKC and 2016 Ford Explorer vehicles to remove the heaters and replace them with an updated design. The engine block design, coupled with the particular block heater installed in these vehicles, causes the unit to be susceptible to overheating when the vehicle is parked and the block heater is plugged in –increasing the risk of an underhood fire. Ford is aware of two reports of underhood fires in Canada, but is not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this issue. Affected vehicles include certain 2015-2016 Lincoln MKC vehicles built at Louisville Assembly Plant, Nov. 25, 2013 through Jan. 25, 2016 and certain 2016 Ford Explorer vehicles built at Chicago Assembly Plant, Oct. 20, 2014 through Jan. 28, 2016. There are 5,536 vehicles affected by the issue, including 3,129 2015-2016 Lincoln MKC and 2,407 2016 Ford Explorer vehicles, with 1,543 of the affected vehicles in the United States and federalized territories and 3,993 in Canada. Dealers will remove and replace the engine block heater with an updated design and, if needed, replace the cord at no cost to the customer.
2017-19 Ford Super Duty trucks recalled for tailgates that could open
Fri, Dec 6 2019Ford announced two separate recalls today, though neither has resulted in any known injuries. The first recall, which deals with a tailgate malfunction, affects 261,617 examples of 2017-2019 F-250, F-350, and F-450 Super Duty pickups. The second, which anticipates the possibility of a fuel leak, affects 3,893 units of 2020 Explorer and 2020 Lincoln Aviator SUVs with 3.0-liter engines. Ford says tailgates might accidentally open on some 2017-2019 Super Duty trucks because of a short circuit. If the pickups have an electric tailgate latch-release switch on the tailgate handle, water might get into the wiring. If the water hits the right spots, a short circuit could cause the switch to release the tailgate latch. In a worst-case scenario where the tailgate opens while driving, contents of the truck's bed could fall out and create a safety hazard. Dealerships will fix the problem by modifying the tailgate frame wiring harnesses with jumper pigtails and install a new tailgate handle release switch. Of the lot, 231,664 trucks are in the U.S., and 29,953 are in Canada. The Ford recall number is 19S48. The second recall is much smaller, involving fewer than 4,000 vehicles. In certain 2020 Explorers and Aviators with 3.0-liter engines, Ford says, "The convolute protective sleeve on the liquid fuel line is not long enough, which may allow for potential hard contact with the convolute-protected vapor fuel line. Over time, with vibration and engine roll, hard contact between the two fuel lines could cause the convolute on the vapor fuel line to rub through the plastic liquid fuel line." If that happens, it could be a fire risk and hazardous for drivers and passengers. Only 35 of those SUVs are in Canada, and the rest are in the United States. Dealers will fix the problem by replacing the defective convolute with a full-length piece and tying it down with a strap. The recall reference number for the Aviators and Explorers is 19S49. The recall adds to what has otherwise been a rocky early production phase for the new Explorers and Aviators.
2022 Lincoln Aviator gets a new blackout trim package
Thu, Dec 2 2021The trend of automakers offering trim packages that add black-painted trim is as strong as ever, with no signs of slowing down. Lincoln already had a black-out package for the Aviator called the Monochromatic Package. Now, it's adding even more black trim for something called the Jet Package, because of the Aviator name and the idea of jet black. Aren't they clever? Anyway, the main difference here is that the Monochromatic Package left bits of chrome on the car, such as the grille surround, fender badges and window surrounds. The Jet Package abolishes those shiny bits in favor of gloss black trim. The body color mirrors also go black, as do the grille centers and most of the 22-inch wheels. The lower cladding is finished in body color, though. The package will be available early next year. Only three colors can be chosen with it: Pristine White, Infinite Black, Silver Radiance and Burgundy Velvet. It's also exclusive to the Reserve trim level. Pricing hasn't been announced yet.
