1990 Lincoln Continental 4dr Sedan
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.

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.,
