Edmunds' Expert Review
by the Edmunds Experts
Pros
- Roomy interior, quiet cabin, throaty V8 engine, huge trunk, availability of a long-wheelbase model.
Cons
- Interior looks ancient compared to equivalently priced European and Japanese luxury sedans, poor resale value.
What’s new
Having been freshened with a host of changes last year, the Town Car is largely unchanged for 2004. Last year's Executive model is now the Signature, and the Cartier becomes the Ultimate (available in both regular- and long-wheelbase versions). Sirius Satellite Radio is now a dealer-installed option.
Edmunds says
If you want a big American luxury car for a reasonable price, the Town Car is the only game in town, but equivalently priced European and Japanese luxury sedans are better in almost every respect.

Awesome Town Car
Omar, 03/10/2016
2004 Lincoln Town Car Signature 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)
Awesome big American V8 sedan. Roomy seats, smooth ride, and nice speakers for a stock car. Average 20 mpg and thats mixed driving in Houston, Tx. Car was bought used so it did had some small scratches, driver seat small tear and some plastics in the interior coming loose. However it did fail once, the IAC valve failed and made my car accelerate on its own and that just 97,000 miles so I … think Lincoln should be aware. But easy fixed and running fine again so problem. Despite some minor interior the car is durable on the road. It can handle bumping roads fine, good torque power in uphill and can take on off-road as well. I'm happy with my Lincoln Town Car
Update 3/16/2018
Still have the car, is my daily driver. Last year 2017 I had the intake manifold replace because it was started to leak around the thermostat housing. My car got flooded during Hurricane Harvey however only water got inside the carpet floor. Engine and Transmission got no water thank god! Since than I drove it 6k miles so far and is running fine, just normal maintenance.
Update 9/19/2018
Same runs great. No Issues miles at 130K, smooth ride like it should be. Got it inspection and pass.

2004 Lincoln Town Car Ultimate 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)
I own a 2010 Acura TL that I purchased brand new, although I love the handling and power, when I go on long trips I take the Lincoln.
I love the ride, plushness and quietness this car have. I also love the beautiful body style. Very Luxurious look. I read other reviews here about road noise and wind noise and I laugh. The only thing wrong with this car is that the IDIOTS at FORD … discontinued making it.

The Town Car the ultimate Lincoln

2004 Lincoln Town Car Ultimate 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)
This car is the Lincoln Town Car Ultimate Palm Beach Edition. What a car! It attracts constant admiration and comments. It is maroon with a half stone white top. It is one of the best cars I've ever had in the 50+ years Iv'e driven. Quiet, smooth riding and handling. When I pass a slower car even my grandchildren are impressed with the pickup. The stereo is magnificent. I like especially … the remote trunk and the easy to adjust clock. I have gotten up to 27 miles to a gallon, normal is 25.4. I've had Packards, Cadillacs, and Chryslers over the years. Nothing comes close to the Lincoln in quality and dependability, and I've had 7.

2004 Lincoln Town Car Ultimate 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)
After a roll over crash in a SUV I have been a big fan of large sedans. Have owned a 1994 Crown Vic, and a 1999 Town Car Signature in the past. Last week I purchased a 2004 Towncar Ultimate with 53K miles on it. Whom ever owned it took good care of it as it looks like brand new. Without question the most comfortable vehicle I have ever ridden in with luxury featurs galore. I am … disappointed to hear that Lincoln is planning to discontinue this model. That would be a big mistake. I love this car.
