Great '95 Lincoln Mk.VIII

This has been a great car! I've had it 4 yrs, now at 118K. Only drawbacks have been the dim headlights and it warps the front disks. Just changed the plugs and wires and it's running like new! All the power you could ask for and great mileage too, averages 22 mpg, gets 28 hwy. I've changed trans. fluid, change oil regularly and hope to drive it for a long time!

Quite simply, the Mark VIII has no equal. Even though the last one rolled off the assembly line in 1998, no car (before or since) can compare. It is a luxurious, powerful, understated, and timeless work of automotive art. Try any rear-wheel drive luxury coupe, and then go for a drive in the Mark. If the power doesn't sell you, then the handling will. If the handling doesn't interest you, then the myriad creature- comforts certainly will. And fuel economy? Try 17(city)/27(highway)!! Thanks to the passage of time and the miracles of depreciation, so much can be had for so little. Find one, drive one, and buy one. Miles of smiles are guaranteed.

Good Car

We purchased the car with 18000 miles on it. We now have more than 80000 miles. Several cross country trips in comfort, and a pleasure to drive. Only one complaint. The rotors on the brakes continue to chatter and require machine turning. A real design weekness of Ford. As much as we like this car we will not consider any Ford product curently on the market.

First off, OK, a little off there on the performance numbers my friend! Stock Marks are about mid 15's quarter mile & high 6's in the 0-60. Still very fast though, enough to take on most cars on the road, though the gearing could be a tad more agressive/quicker. I am absolutely addicted to the interior layout. The driver- oriented "cockpit" with everything within reach of my fingertips has completely spolied me for just about any other car.

The Lincoln Mk VIII is the end of a glorious line by Ford/Lincoln. Sadly, tastes change and the line was discontinued in 1958. Its a loss to the automobiling public. My Mark VIII (175,000 miles)is now a classic. Its new engine (50,000 miles ago- and not the fault of the car!) makes it ready for many thousands more of miles of pleasureable driving. To own a Lincoln is class! To own a Mark, is the top of the line!

I've enjoyed this vehicle to the limits. 220,000 miles and still very strong. Trans rebuilt at 150,000 along with some air suspension/electrical repairs. Rust is beginning to take over however i just wont part with it until its done!

Best Car Ever

I bought this car as a daily driver but knew it was probably one of the nicest cars ever built by any company. The styling, performance and quality of this vehicle is way beyond anything built before or since. I am sure this is a classic car in the making. The Cobra engine has 4 cam shafts, 32 valves, and port fuel injection makes it untouchable. I would buy another one if they still made them but you can't kill this bulletproof engine as long as you maintain it.

I purchased this vehicle with 30K miles on it 5 1/2 years ago. Now it has 140K miles. Overall, it has been a good car, but reliability leaves a lot to be desired. The transmission has been completely rebuilt twice and is still not acting right. The rear axle was rebuilt, and brake jobs are common every 25K miles. The fuel pump died. Now the air suspension system is leaking (cost to repair $2500). Electrical demons abound (heater blower stopped, door ajar light stays on, speakers on right side stopped working). My wife and even my mechanic are begging me to sell it, but I can't bring myself to do it. Despite all the flaws, I really love the car.
