I bought the car from a friend that had the lockup solenoid changed in the trans. She still had an intermittent problem. After a few days driving it started working fine. No problems in 3 years 130,000. 22mpg at 70mpg. Cars is fast for small 8 and 3800+ lbs. The clear coat is starting to deteriorate since the black car has been in the sun a lot. I would own another.

I have owned Dodge Charger R/Ts, Buick Regal T-types and GTO's. Also owned Caravan and Grand Marquis. Add the virtues of each together and you get the Continental. Classic exterior which some reviewers call plain;10 yrs from now it will still look fine. Acceleration fine for 3911 lb. vehicle. Nice ride!

Bought this 1995 Lincoln in April 2001 with 86,000 miles for $6,500. Three years later I have 182,000 miles on it. Average 22 miles to the gallon. Selling it for $1,500. Put out about $1,000 in repairs during the three years. Liked it so much I bought another one with 91,000 miles for $3,800, hope to drive it another three years.
Loved it while owned

Bought one at 112K in 2003. Had 166K when decided to dump it due to suspension going bad for a 3rd time. Tuned it up once & hadn't changed the oil for a good year or so. Replaced tires once. Head liner started falling apart around 130K & the HORRIBLE air suspension. Other than that, no tranny or engine or anything falling apart aside from the liner as i mentioned before. Drove it numerous times from North Carolina to Georgia without any problems. Highway gas mileage great for a fast V8, the city was about 15-17 depending how you drive it. Will I by again...if I change the suspension I would
Great road car

Great on the road, a little large around town. Nice looking car, an eye-catcher. Avg 27 mpg on the road at 70 mph, 22 over all. I am not wild about the air suspension, and that may be the reason I sell it soon. Have spend almost nothing on repairs, no oil burning, transmission still smooth. Has been a good car.
