Used 1996 Lincoln Continental Sedan Consumer Reviews
Continental ride
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!
Anniversary Edition N Showroom Condition
I traded in my 93 Lincoln Town Car for this model.It's still in showroom condition.But what's amazing about this vechile is how advanced it is.You would swear that the Diamond Aniversary Edition didnt come out til 2000 or later. It's got more gadgets than a space shuttle. The comfort is outstanding. The performance is unmatched and the handling is superb. Nice size power moonroof,great factory JBL sound system with CD changer, quiet cabinet interior and an engine that can flat out run! Excellent gas mileage. 26-27 miles on hwy. Trunk space galore. Drivers side seating feels like a recliner in the game room.Compass in rearview mirror too. The only missing in my Continental is heated seats.

They sold me a Lemon
Had the car for 2 months and needed a new sway bar, stabilizer link, tie rods, rotors, tires had to be re- sealed,and traction control shocks. Now I need transmition work done, and I think they installed the stabilizer link in wrong so that needs to be fixed too. Its a beautiful looking car inside and out and I would say that the Continental is a great value but you should get it checked by another dealership or mechanic that you can trust before you buy. Don't trust the dealer you are buying from! Get a second opinion!
Hunk of Junk
The 1st few years this car was great,purchased with 30k on car & still smelled new! Well all was great until 80k & tie rods & air ride went out! Purchase coil over & got rid of air ride! Well the car is on the 3rd alternator & one starter & horn,abs,airbags dont work & when you get the check engine light solved by repairs a few days later something else is wrong with car! I hate this car & since it was american made the value is bad to sell!! I call it the stinken lincoln!!
Excellent value
continentals are an undervaued car. If you are in the market for a comfortable, reliable car, this may be one to look for. Plus, mine gets almost 27 mpg on the highway!
