lincoln carter excellent
bought 1999 lincoln carter towncar used from friend whose wife died. 12,000 miles. better to drive than i thought, good mileage, surprising small turn radius. easy to maintain
Last Ford for us..............
I've owned many Ford products but this one is the best on luxury and the worst on performance quality. It is the end of an era. With 71,000 I'm replacing a transmission $2200.00. Ford can't make up it's mind to rebuild or replace, duh, the torque converter failed and ruined the transmission and they can't decied what to do???? Power seat tracks that failed, outside power mirrors failed, and two of eight coils failed at $120.00 each to replace at less that 50K miles. I never had that much trouble with a Mercury Topaz with 200K miles or my F-150 with 125K miles, or my Mercury Cougar with 130Kmiles.

Great Traveling & City Vehicle
This is my third Continental and it has been the best. It is a great traveling car for 4 people and gets great Gas Mileage. I have only owned American cars and I buy American. I did buy it used but it only had 12,000 miles. I am sorry they quit making the Continentals. It was a good size I think the Town Car is just too big.
A GREAT value for a used car buy
A lot of (used) car for the money. Many convenience/luxury features. Nice ride. Powerful InTech V8 engine easily overcomes Michelin tires, but traction control works pretty well. The engine is bulletproof, but transmission fluid MUST be changed every 15K miles to maintain shift quality and if you expect the transmission to last more than 50,000 miles. Handling is decent but not up to Lexus/Benz. Quality is quite good for American made car, but not up to the Japanese highline models. I would never buy a new one (even if they still made them) - too much depreciation - but for $9000-$13000 you won't find a nicer car with as many features.
Love It
We love this vehicle. We use it as a family car and there is plenty of room for two children with lots of trunk space. Milage is good for a V8 at 22 miles per gallon. The vehicle handles great and runs great. Only thing that has needed to be done after 126000 miles was brakes and wheelbearings. Love the vehicle, hard to compare to others.
