good long ride
Bought this Mark with 65000 on it, now have 95000. It is a good ride for my 170 mi/day commute. I'm getting over 25mpg on the hi-way. Car looks great, timeless design. Drivers seat starting to show wear. Would have liked to have option to have both cassette and CD player. back seat pockets are nets, cheaper looking than in 97. Didn't see significant difference in LSC and standard, didn't feel it driving either. Guess the dual exaust is about it. Had to repair the steering wheel, ouch. thousands of parts many motors, many bucks.
Hotwheels
This car was an instant collectible when production ceased in 1998. The Cobra engine makes it a real sleeper and by modifying the intake and exhaust you can make it a 325 hp car. Gets lits of looks because there aren't many of them.

Classic Car
Wanted one of these cars since they came out, couldn't afford it though( wife and 4 kids). Found this one on a used car lot, when I drove it i found it had a miss on acceleration and the front brakes pulsated. Bought the car replaced all spark plug boots and front rotors. Replaced front rotors and installed ceramid pads. I have one of the best cars int the world.
Gentleman's Express
This car is smooth, quiet, economical (25+ mpg highway) yet fast and handles like a big sports car. All the gadgets like voice command phone, auto lights and mirrors, etc. mean you are not distracted while adjusting or changing settings. The heated power seats are very comfortable; power tilt/telescope wheel means even at 6'4" I can find a good position and change it occasionally during trips. Sunroof is almost silent when open in vent position at 80mph. Headlights are brighter than anything on the road; the car just begs to find a new, longer way home every night!
Great car, wish they still made them.
Bought this Mark with 32,000. Now have 87,000. Replaced both front brake rotors, they warped. Rear neon light ballast went bad and have already replaced both HID headlamps. Also replaced two C.O.P. coils. Air ride pump is starting to sound bad. I own three of these Marks. 1998 Mark VIII LSC (above) 1996 Mark VIII 82,000 miles. Replaced air struts/pump and front brake rotors (warped). 1995 Mark VIII 150,000 miles. Replaced air struts/pump, front brake rotors (warped), transmission shift assembly, and alternator. I really like these cars and wish they still made them. These have been some of the better cars that I have owned. Better than a 2001 Cadillac STS I had owned.
