Perfect Car
My dad special ordered this car in 1990. I bought it from him in 1995 and have driven it for 13 years. With over 270,00 miles, the 5.0 engine is still strong as an ox, far surpasses the performance and torque of newer Lincolns. The ride is quiet, the interior is very comfortable. The engine has never required more than usual maintenance. Replaced transmission, but the ratios are pretty beefy to keep rpms low. The design is classic and still looks good. The only car that equaled the Mark VII was a 1985 Buick Riviera. By the way - the air shocks are not hard to replace if you know how to read the shop manual and can operate a jack!
1989 Lincoln Mark VII
This has been a great car , i had some work to do on it in the beginning since the previous owner let it sit for quite some time in cleveland weather. The Body is still in reMARKable condition and the interior has wear but has held together quite nicely. The air suspension was in great shape untill NTB broke it by lifting it and not heading my explicit instructions to turn OFF the air ride before lifting it, without them the stock compressor dryer and bags would still be in and great. I opt'd to keep the air ride for two reason, one NTB paid the replacement and two the air ride is part of what gives this car is smooth ride a eexcellent cornering for a car of its weight and age.
Drivers Dream
This is a rugged nimble powerhouse that delivers a nonstop ability at one's faintest touch. The car's appointments are to this day the apple of the industy's eye. Yet the car with all its horses deliver a whopping 22 miles per gallon at 55mph+
Breakfast Of Champions
Love the ride, but switch out the front air bags with springs and performance control arm bushings instead of the original oem bushings. Transmission oil cooler and engine oil cooler and your good 2 go! "put it back on the assembly line"., we need more.
TRUE unbiased report
I bought this car with low expaectations, and boy, did it ever prove me wrong! I cant complain ONE bit abotu this car. Its 13 years old, still looks good, people alwys comment on how its a nice looking car. It runs awesome. TONS of power from the 5.0 H.O. engine. Dusts newer cars no problem. Handles great, but rides like its on feathers. Very functional interior. I can only wonde why they quite making this car.
THE CAR OF CARS

sleeping hotrod
well for starters. i bought the car in july of 06 from my friend in the military. he was selling it, and i since i rode in it had wanted it. well i bought it and since then have had tons of fun in it. it is the first V8 i have ever owned, and with the modifications he had done to it, woke it up a great deal. not only is the horsepower amazing but the room it has is great too. every body that has came up against my mark vii has been blown away by it. they think oh it a granny car, but when they see the car lift up and take off at a stop light they are like, WOW!! lincoln needs to bring the mark series coupes back out. these cars are dieing dinosaurs!!! not many left on the roads!!!
LOVE MY LSC
When I bought my 90 LSC she was 12 years old. still running strong. Very reliable and looks better then mustang.
Lincoln should make more! Fun Car
This is the finest car i have ever driven in my life. Even when i drive 20 mph in my neighborhood it's fun just the way the car is and handles
Solid vehicle
I have been the owner of a 1990 Mark VII LSC for 12 years. This has been hands down the most reliable car I have ever owned. The styling and the performance were so underated for its time. Perfect balance between luxury and performance. The crtics missed this one.
Car review
Too hard to get parts for a car that old. Would probably avoid unless you get it very cheap and in good condition.

Greatest LSC ever!!!
Bought this car new put a ton of miles on it still have it ..a special edition, great car every where it goes always attracts attention. Looks better than 97 % of new cars with the finish on this bad boy. LSC forever.
Looks are Deceiving
The cruise control went out within the first year of ownership. The next item was a tie rod end which was still covered under the warranty. At 67,000 miles, the transmission had to be overhauled. Also about the same time, the alternator had to be replaced. At 110,000 miles, the automatic door locking system had to be rebuilt. Over the last two years, the airconditioning system has cost me $600.00. More recent repairs have involved replacing the water pump and a leaky power steering line, and replacing both front end tie rod ends. Note that front end alignments are a regular expense since it chews up tires.
5th mk vii
bought used and have had very few problems,car is rock solid-and no leaks or rattles, i have yet to align any of the marks i have owned (5), no tire wear whatsoever!great road cruiser it gets 24 mpg at 70 mph. i hate where they placed the fog light switch!
Love My Car
I love this car. I bought it in 2002 with 100,000 miles. I now have abour 120,000 miles. The things I love are the exterior styling, the road handling, the look I get from anyone that sees it. It is a black Special Edition LSC. It has the best stereo I have ever heard. It does not have a smooth ride, it has a badass ride!! I have had to do a little maintenance (it has 120,000 miles) but the motor and transmission is good. Most of the work has been brakes, shocks, air conditioner, relatively minor things. I consider it to be the least expensive vehicle I have ever owned, given the low maintenance expense. This is a fine car!! I can't imagine how another would turn me on any more!!
Love it so far
Bought this car from a friend who had It garaged when not being driven. But so far, no problems at all, I love it. Me being a in my early 20's look forward to saving up and buying the new LS. Main problems: Had to replace both power door locks, have trouble with it overheating when hot outside and standing still.
DaddyMc MK7
Excellent power for car in this segment. Unparalleled ride from air suspension. BillBlass seats are like a La-z-boy. Even though the interior is white (cream) it is amazingly easy to keep clean.
