I purchased my 95 model in sept of 2000 with 68k miles on the odometer. I was leary of the supposed "High Mileage" and was prepared to spend a few thousand dollars on repairs, since the car was so close to 100k miles. I "put off" a recommended transmission cooler AND some very much needed transmission upgrades because I thought it'd be a waste of time, since the transmission would surely DIE right about the 100k mile mark. 100k miles passed without so much as a hicuup! Around 175k I had replaced all the air bags at a cost of 650 for parts. Install took a little bit of a saturday afternoon. Currently I have 5000 drag strip passes on the car 297,000 miles

145K miles NO PROBLEMS. I drive 200 mi and back to Washington, DC every week. Haven't had a lick of trouble. Orig tired lasted 105K. Breaks at 96K. Orig shocks and water pump. On the interstate I get 27-29 MPG depending on AC usage and traffic. All in all the best car I've ever owned.

What a Luxury Car Should (REALLY) Be

Excellent car--looked great, powerful, wonderful seats and interior. The perfect car for highway cruising, handled well for its size too and the air suspension provides a comfortable but not floaty ride. The 32v V8 is one of Ford's best engine designs, smooth and lots of power. The shape still looks contemporary 10 years down the road, and the interior design is the best of any car I've owned. Beautiful and functional. Safe, too, mine was totaled in an accident and I walked away without a scratch. I miss it...would have bought another had I been able to find a low-mileage example. Destined to become a classic, and hopefully I'll have another one by then...

I bought it. I am second owner. Never smoked in. Original owner died. Several little things to repair. I knew it when I bought it. Parts are no longer in stock and you have to use e-bay to find them. It will not be sold while I am alive. Awesome vehicle. AWESOME VEHICLE. COST $40,000 24 YEARS AGO. AWESOME IN EVERY WAY. THERE WON'T BE A THIRD OWNER UNTIL I PASS.

I bought my Mark LSC as a second car for commuting (talked my wife into it) and since than it's the only car I drive. I love the HID headlight and all the features but most of all the power... and lot's of it. After about 4 mo the only thing I had to change was the oil. The engine and the transmission are still very powerfull although it has 125000 miles on it. The car has all the features in working conditions. If you have a chance to buy do not hesitate it's worth it. I know mine was.
