After owning a 1988 Mark VII LSC for over 160,000 miles and then placating myself (albeit enjoyably) with an Olds Aurora, I bought this car about one year ago over the Internet. My only conditions were: the dealership performed any of the needed work I asked for; and if the car were not up to snuff we would both walk away from the deal without penalty or harshness on either side. It turned out to be the best auto purchase I ever made! Being a Ford/Lincoln dealer they performed their regular pre-owned checks and needed work, and I only had to hold off one of the more unscrupulous salespeople who tried to sell the car out from under the Internet salesperson whom I initially dealt with.
WoW What are car!

This I must say is the best car I have ever owned! Outstanding quality, great toys, and the comfort of a Lincoln. The power is just WONDERFUL and the 4.6 DOHC is the most reliable engine on the planet. I would go out and buy them all up if I had the money!! Buy this car and it will NEVER DISAPPOINT YOU!! The 97-98 Marks were the BEST ever made.

When I first bought my car, I had to spend a few dollars on it. I replaced the driveshaft, HID lights, all 4 tires, the whole steering wheel, the door handles, the brakes and the 10- disc changer. But the good news is, since then (6 months now), I have NOT had ANY problem whatsoever. No other car gives you the feeling a 97-98 Mark VIII gives you. Everywhere I go, compliments abound. People don't know how to think of you. They think you have a lot of class, they think you like power and speed, they think you have a lot of taste. It doesn't matter whether they are girls, guys, young or old.
Great Value

The Mark VIII is a great car considering how affordable they are used. The powertrain is flawless. The motor is strong and very reliable. The braking and handling are very good for a 3800 lb car. Interior is very nice and of high quality materials. The cars problems are not that bad or expensive if you take the time to learn about the car. The HID bulbs cost about 150$ each to repair (MUCH more at a dealer). The tranny requires regular flushes with Mercon V in order to stay smooth (every 30K). The air suspension requires new struts about every 6 years (so about 440$ every 6 years for parts).
She goes with class for sure!

I purchased my leaseback Toreador Red used Mark in 1999. It had 24,000 mi. I have run the dickens out of it and she has taken the punishment with ladylike understanding. She is a beauty today in as much as it was the day it was made. The 4.6 DOHC runs like a scaulded dog. The tranny was a bit slushy at first, but I put in a shift kit and now she'll squal the tires between 1st to 2nd shifts. I destroyed the first engine and replaced it at my expense at 108Kmi. The new engine is even stronger than the first, maybe overbored a bit??? This car says luxury from the git-go, and it says successful, fast, and a bit dangerous male or female inside. My wife also loves it and the heated seats.
