Purchased the LSC in 2007 at 112K miles. Had already had tie rods, links, and front bushings replaced around 70K. Replaced $400 A/C tube at 122K; wheels around 140K due to excessive corrosion; tie rods and stabilizer links again at 150K. Powertrain control module went at 155K ($2000). Ran fine until 175K at which point the PCM went out again. Can't and won't replace it a second time. Despite having to put some real money into the car to keep it running I have enjoyed almost every minute of driving. Its design is centered around the driver and a responsive driving experience. If you can find one with less than 100K, buy it, drive it, then sell it before it starts to fall apart.

Fun to drive, reliable, very comfortable, attractive (still draws compliments), well designed. Almost maintenance-free except for essentials. Have always had recommended maintenance performed on time. There have been recalls, which have been promptly completed by the dealer with no problems. Ford has established itself as a quality manufacturer and the dealers provide reputable after-sale service. I plan to continue driving this car for a long time, one reason being that there is nothing on the market that I would want as a replacement.

First off, this is not a car for everyone. If you want a perfectly reliable car you never have to think about, buy a Honda. If you want power, style, luxury, and value, buy a Mark VIII. If you love cars or have some mechanical ability, you can fix many problems yourself for a reasonable price. I average 22.2mpg in mixed city/highway driving. I had a worn spark plug boot cause a misfire ($4 part, replaced it myself) and a seat heater went out (not fixed yet). Otherwise the car has been rock-solid reliable. If you're willing to do a little upkeep, you will love the Mark VIII.
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.
a fun car over all

I have had the 98 LSC almost four years. Several problems but all covered under warranty...and great service at that. It is the "most fun" car I have owned in terms of road comfort, handling, performance, and "eye appeal." Always got a new Linc when more than one day. This sucker runs and runs! Just bought a BMW740 so the wife can haul kids....joy!
