Expensive to own

My first experience with buying a used luxury car with 80k miles. Lots of expensive problems with brakes, faulty engine head bolts but I really liked the way it rode and drove. Finally sold it at 125k miles when it needed new air shocks, at that time only available from mfg. at more than what the car was worth! Even then, probably would have done it but transmission had a weird slipping problem going around corners. This was essentially built on the Taurus platform and with improvements to the items mentioned is what the Taurus should have become in my opinion.
I love my hunk of junk......

My opinion of the 1990 Lincoln Continental, based on my own sordid experience, would be: It has been one of the worst cars ever from a reliability/maintainability/mechanical standpoint. I have had to replaced almost every major system. The only major component that has not failed is the forward portion of the transmission. The plastic interior molding flakes silver chips constantly and has for years. The sun roof leaks, the engine cuts off for unknown reasons during the spring and summer, the A/C/Heater is stuck permanently on "on", etc.,

Thought a 9 year old quality US car with omly 102k miles would not be a bad decision. How wrong and $7k later - big mistake. Many major problems - too long to list

The lincoln continental is a very fun car to drive , but there are some issues to deal with like the air ride system and the factory sound system, transmissions. I've owned three and all Ihad trouble with was the air ride, but if I was to tell someone to get one and drive one for themselves is the only way to experience them.

I bought my Linclon in 1999 at nine years old for $7000. My wife hates it. and I do to. My car is very good in bad weather but not in the shop. I hears very strange noises yesterday in my car. Earlier today The car broke down. My wife has a Sabb that is so much beter than my car. My 27 year old son's 1997 Toyota Camry and my 32 year old daughter's 1994 Toyota Avolon and my 42 year old son in law's 1977 Honda Accord are so much better than my car. My son in law's 1977 Honda which has 2 millon miles on it, lasted longer than my old Linclon. Next I plan to buy a Sabb or a Honda or even a Toyota instead of this.

I got this car for a steal, or at least I thought I did. It had its used car problems, but no big. Then one day I'm driving along, and the brake light comes on. Hmmmm, I didn't feel anything wrong with the brakes. Then all the sudden 20 min later, the brake petal sticks to the floor. Yeah, electric brake booster failure. Try $2000 for parts and $600 for labor cause no one will touch it but the dealer. So that was a huge investment down the drain, anyone want to buy a great car, needs break work, though! :)

I have been more than happy with my car.. to the point that although I have had no major repair needed the entire time I've owned it, I would not hesitate to have those repairs done.. this has been one of the best cars I've owned..
