What can I say, I just love this car. It's a wonderfully smooth ride around town or on the highway, soaking up potholes with ease. The V8 provides effortless power at any legal speed. Gas mileage is usually around 25 on the highway, though I've gotten it as low as 22 (fast into a headwind) and as high as 27 (65 w/ a tailwind?) If you're having traction problems in rain or snow, it's your tires. The first set I had were lousy in rain and snow. I've since switched to 2 sets of tires- snows for winter and a set of summer performance tires. Repairs since the warranty ran out have averaged about $800/yr, which I'd consider well worth it to drive a Mark.

Owned two MkVIIs that I drove for many years with few maintenance issues. In fact, I kept the last one 'til the end was in sight because, for me, the MkVIII was just too big to be a coupe. Finally, in 1998, I realized that the car wasn't going to get any smaller. Even worse, it was about to disappear forever. I bought a black/black '98 LSC. For a personal/luxury car, it's still too big for my preference. However, there is no greater luxury/performance car combo for the price available anywhere in the world. Even the gas mileage is good considering it's 305HP and 4K+ pounds.
LOVE IT STILL

I bought a 98 Mark VIII LSC in 2000 with only 13K on it. I always wanted one. I love the cockpit style interior and the teloscopic steering wheeel, and auto adjust seat. After a preformance chip from lincoln motor sports, and a little TLC she was revin up there. ran low 14's in the quarter mile. She now sits in the garage. Being pampered since they wont bring it back out or make a Mark 9 I have to make sure she last for a long time
One hell of a fine car

I don't drive a whole heck of a lot but when I do I enjoy every minute of it. This is the best car I have ever owned and man is it fun to drive. Very comfortable riding car with superb pick up when it's needed (all the time :) Never had a single problem with my Mark VIII LSC I still get compliments from people when they see it.
Great Car Just too bad!

I bought this black beauty in 2004 with 26,000 mi. It still runs like a Bat. with 200,000 mi. I hate ford has not only stopped producing this car , but has hidden all the spare parts. American Auto companies just don't get it. I am now facing some electrical problems and need replacement items like the center tail running light ballast and cannot get it so I had it disconnected.Fuel pump is only available from NAPA now. I was in Atlanta and had to have the pump replaced, so I limped into Pugmire, (Lincoln Dealer) They charged me over $1,000 to fix it and screwed up my exaust pipes so badly, they offered to reimburse me for having someone else repair their work.(where can I find parts?
