What a piece of junk. I have replaced axils twice, exchanged air ride for good struts and shocks, radiator, water pump,ac compressor, poor heat, replaced computer, tranny is going, poor ac/heat buttons (all of them broken) radio doesn't work, windows,doors and locks fixed numerous times. security system goes off at will. air bag warning light always flashes.power seat buttons are broken. brakes,brakes,brakes. power antenna doesn't work. Ford should be ashamed. i can't even drive the worthless car into the ground and worse yet, no one wants it. i'm stuck with it.
Smooth ride, but costly repair

Replaced all 4 air suspensions, the cluster, radio cassette, AC control, all gaskets... Once, all transmission fluid leaked out while driving! Sorry, I am telling the truth. It still runs well (with my free labor and time; I cannot charge my wife!) and I still keep it. I also had a 96 Lincoln Mark VIII bought at 79120 miles, transmission broken down at 79185 miles, the dealer said, "once you drove it out of out lot...", had to replace another one ($2700), hundred of things happened before trading it back at 91 K miles. I would sin if I sold it to another victim of it.
Ok

As a imports mechanic, i get used to fixing or driving lexues, acuras, and etc. i recently brought this car because of the price. $1,100 because the front strut where missing and the owner could not afford to fix it. So after fixing the struts costing me about $800 total. after driving the car for 100 miles, the coolant started to leak like crazy. The oil is starting to leak, and the switch for the windsheild washer fluid shorted. i am not planing to keep this car, any longer. it cost more to maintain then the price of the car. Besides all the stuff above, this car gives you a great ride for a long trip, or just a ride in the city. it has great insullation.
Awesome Car

Despite some expensive repairs to the gas/air suspension and the head gasket, aside from these reliability problems, this car is flawless. Although no sport sedan, it handles quickly and responsively. Steering is a bit numb, but the ride is astonishing - riding, literally and figuratively, on air. And despite first opinions based on the ride comfort, it still has plenty of grip to go around when needed. And it's comfortable, large interior includes automatic just about everything to make your drive that much easier. Bravo!
pretty funky

I love this car, it's a little heavy, but a perfect highway cruiser. I read Freddy's review and I haven't had too much trouble mechanically, it's just important to do regular maintenance with an older car.

Anything that could go wrong did go wrong. From transmission to suspension. Three alternators, two starters, A/C system, all four door locks, window switches, cassette player. If you want to throw away money then this car is for you.
Get rid of the struts

This car rides great I enjoyed this car of all the car I own. But they need to stop putting those air control shocks on the acr and just put a good pair of monore shocks. But then again the car company would lose money on maintenance rpairs. To pay two thousand for front and rear shock replacement is a ripp off
Great Car

I own a 1991 Lincoln Continental, Dark Plum. I am the only owner on this car and still own it to this day 2009. It looks like it just came off the show room floor! Why because I take care of it, yes it need somethings over the years but that is with any car! Their is no other car out there that has it ride and performance. Build very well and will keep you safe if ever in an accident! If you have one take care of it! They are worth it!
Where do I begin?

Auto leveling sys. rides at full height sometimes, poor A/C buttons design, AM/FM quit working, temp. ctrl damper sticks, OEM transmission recalled, rear windows quit working, fr. pass. window works intermitantly, front brake rotors warp when brakes applied with more than normal force, i.e. panic stop, digital speedometer acts up indicating 8-12mph all the time, moving or not, air bag warning light flashing. Kelly Blue book $ in fair cond. $1650. Imagine $ in poor condition. CAN U SAY DEPRECIATION!

I have just purchased this 1991 Lincoln with the idea of refurbishing it. I had a chance to drive it for about 200mi. and was quite impressed with its handling. The interior I found quite comfortable and for a tall person such as myself, I found the leg room quite pleasing.
It is all about the air.

Ok, I've owned 2 Continentals. My first was a 1990 and 2nd (which was a mistake)was a 1992. On the first one the air ride went out on it, so I replaced it with normal shocks($1500). Then the radiator went and put a rod knock in the engine. So I got a new one and know the C/v axles are going on this one and the rear shocks. The transmission is shot and the calipers are frossen. So I'll never buy a 1990-1994 Continental again.

Overall a very comfortable car with better then expected fuel usage, but mechanically unreliable. Air suspension system not as comfortable as expected and repair costs way out of line.
Love the big boat!

Bought this used with 140+ thousand miles and it runs like a top. Air ride is great, all electronics work and paint is in great shape. I wanted a FWD vehicle to get around in during the winter, and this is perfect! I can fit both kids, the wife, and lots more. So glad I bought the boat.
DO NOT BUY ONE OF THESE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First of all this car rides and feels great on the roads, it really doesn't matter where your going it's a smooth ride. It gives me a better mileage on gas then what I suspected. It's safe and representable where ever you go. Sorry for the other people who has had a bad expierience with it.

When I purchased this car it was in exceptional shape. The car had been maintained as recommended. I have found this car requires constant and expensive repairs. After putting less than 9000 miles in three years, the head gasket is gone. This is the last straw. This heap is going to the junk yard.

Air-ride suspension constantly fails...replaced many times. Poor design. Freeze plugs...ditto.
It's great while it lasts

I had a 91 and a 93--both used. I replaced all 4 struts on the 91 at $400 each. The head gaskets went on the 93 at 77000 miles...I found this was commo because they bored the heads to get more power. Ford refuses to admit the design flaw. You will find no better ride or driving pleasure for long trpis and 24 mph. If you buy newer the price is too steep!

This car has been a lemon from the day I purchased it! New airconditioner, new heads, new air shocks, new hood shocks, and the list goes on and on! I would never buy another Lincoln!

Drove this car for a year and I plan on selling very soon. Got lots of compliments on this car. It simply looked awesome with HID lights and chrome wheels. The body is still in great shape. Looks newer than the car actually is. The transmission needed to be rebuilt, head gaskets needed to be replaced, and new o-rings in air ride. Lots of little problems that needed to be fixed.
dont buy a lincoln!!! it is a junk!!!
