Car has 158,000 miles now. Engine still runs strong-car passes at will. Fuel economy in the city isn't great but will get 26mpg on the highway cruising at 80 mph with the climate control on maximum air. Sleek, fast and fun car to drive-especially on road trips. Transmission was rebuilt after 12 years with 130,000 miles. Front struts replaced at 115,000. A couple of batteries and a few … sets of tires over the years but overall a very reliable car. Car is a 1993, with pearesant paint and every option available for the year. I may get another car one day but this one will never be sold or traded in my life time.

Car still goes strong. I don't drive it so much now except for an occasional road trip. Its almost an antique at this point. I did learn a few facts about the 1993 over the later cars. The 1993 has a solid drive shaft, others have a 3rd universal and as such the 1993 was governed to a top speed of 158mph by ford. 1994 and others are governed to only 124mph. These top speed limitations can be overcome by aftermarket but I don't go 158mph. My understanding of the reason for the later Mark VIII's are governed to a lower top speed is due to a harmonic issue with the 2 piece drive shaft.
1993's are also the only cars to have special shock absorbers in the rear with actuators that turn a perforated sleeve over another sleeve to adjust the fluid flow to add or reduce ride stiffness due to road quality. This apparently went away in 1994, probably did not work so well in colder climates is my guess for the set up being discontinued.
Reliability update: One issue with the ECM after 194,000 miles needing replacement. Was difficult to find but found one at AUTOECMSTORE.com.
Obviously I love this car and take great care of her so oil changes, another battery and a set of tires but still incredibly reliable for a car that is now 30 years old.
Take care all

This car was purchased with 46k miles. I needed a good interstate cruiser to go out of state 400 miles each way on weekends. The Mark 8 performs well to this day. It is my opinion that this particular car is the closest that the Americans have come to Mercedes Benz in all catagories except cost. The Mark 8 stickered for about 42K. The fact that you can pick up a well maintained one for … about 5K makes it one of the best deals around. Special features are aluminum components in the rear suspension and a composite hood to reduce weight.
Great Car !!

Owned a 1972 Mark IV "Junk".. Later a Mark VII "Great !".. And then finally.. The Mark VIII ..
And.. Here is my assement of the Mark VIII..
The Mark 8 is better than the 7 in every way except...... 3 Critical areas... Not sure how Lincoln Managed to do this.. But.. They did..
The Mark 7 has better seats, better headlights, and better Computer.
The seats are the sad part since the Mark … 8 handles better and the seats are not as good.. The Mark 7 has awesome seats !!
The Mark 8 starting in 1997 also has better seats.. But... For the first 3 years of the Mark 8.. Well.. You can not see well at night and the computer functions are less, and the seats will not hold you in place .
Not the best

1993 Lincoln Mark VIII 2dr Coupe
This vehicle I would classify as OK. Mileage is good for large car. Good power. Lots of mechanical issues though. Mine has 125K actual miles on it now. Air ride is junk and was replaced with aftermarket coil over system. Headlights are useless as a candle in a hurricane. AC needs recharging every 6 months. Lots of front suspension issues. Brakes stink for this heavy of a car. Had a '96 … mark at one time and it was first with the HID headlights and one burned out after warranty and it cost me over $800 to replace it. Best thing ford did was put this car to rest.
