Big Dollar Bang for the Buck

I got this car at such a good price that every time I drive it I feel like I stole it! For having over 180,000 miles when I bought it it runs and drives great! The wife ran it into a tall median so I had to get an alignment which required replacing the lower ball joints & inner tie rods as well and new front tires as the wife's "median job" caused the not that old ones to prematurely wear out about 700 miles later. Great engine! The old song "Hot Rod Lincoln" frequently comes to mind. Turn the traction control off and it'll smoke the front tires on dry pavement, really surprises the hot rods at stoplights! All in all a great car, at 10 years old its stayed in great condition. Fun and style!

1998 Was a Great Continental Year

Although the maintenance of the Lincoln Continental is more expensive than some other cars, this car is worth it. It's great to drive, comfortable, and dependable. Regency treats their customers well - even though their prices are on the pricey side. Overall, I can't imagine ever driving anything but a Lincoln.

Second Lincoln I've Had

Our first Lincoln was a 1987 and we traded it in for the 1998 only because we had put almost 185000 miles on it. We really never had a problem with the 1987 except for replacing the front and rear airbags. (ouch $1,500.00) for for front and same for rear. Our 1998 we have had only 1 major problems is all, (replaced front sway bar) other than that we just have done regular maintenance (oil changes every 3000 miles, rotate tire every 4000 miles and etc.) Always garage kept and washed and waxed regularly. This car rides and drives like a dream. Plenty of power when you need it and you seem to float down the highway.(Because of it being white lots of people on interstate think it's a cop car.)

No more cramped bone jarring rides for me! I love this car! Pearlescent Ivory with fabric roof (how do you care for that anyway?) When they demonstrated all the options I could hardly keep from giggling like a school- boy! I've never owned a car so nice. It has an distinctive look and and elegant ride. I was amazed how affordable a used Lincoln is.

The most trouble free car I ever owned, except for my Honda Civic. A true road car; what a joy to travel in.
