The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"This is the last of the aircraft carrier-sized American personal luxury cars. Big, fast, plush and posh, built to turn heads and drive like a sporty car while riding like a cloud. This is probably the best Mark VIII for sale in the country. It has 35,000 miles on it, and it looks like it just rolled off the lot. Only 14,357 1998 Mark VII's were built, only 2,351 in this preferred White Pearlescent. It still turns heads.Did I say fast? Popular Hot Rodding took one to Bonneville and clocked 181.7 mph. *4.6 L dual OH cam 4-valve-per-cylinder light alloy V-8 *Keyless entry*Power everything, including memory seats and tilt/telescope steering wheel*Leather seats, steering wheel, shifter and dash*Original factory carpet mats*Self-leveling air-bag suspension (recently replaced)*JBL sound system with CD*Tach, traction control*Automatic ACPerfectly maintained, all records and original bill of sale included."

This is the most nearly perfect 15-year-old daily driver I have ever seen. There is visible wear on the driver's seat, as one would expect on a daily driver. Carpet is excellent and the original mats are clean. Dash is perfect, as is original wood trim. Wear marks on inside door handle on drivers side and around key insertion. Everything else inside looks brand new.

Original paint is excellent, as the car was always garaged. If you look very closely, there are slight imperfections on the left front corner of the bumper. There are no chips or road rash on the front bumper or hood. Mirrors are perfect. No dulling of headlights or taillights. Chrome is perfect. Wheels are perfect. No rust anywhere. There is one door ding that can be seen under just the right light, just over the rear wheel rim. The bottom outside of the driver's door is bent (it appears he backed over something with the door open.) Additional photos can be provided upon request.

The owner kept every record of everything done to the car since new, as well as the original receipt. Most maintenance was done by the dealer, but some simple things were handled at the local station. The car was always hand-washed and waxed. It is very clean under the hood, and all the factory sticker and decals still look new. Mechanically, there appear to be no problems. Tires show wear but are good for several thousand more miles.

Everything works, both mechanically and electronically. Everything. All the automatic functions are still working, as the owner took it to the shop any time anything wasn't perfect. Wonderful car with collector's appeal.

I am selling the car for the owner's estate. I knew him personally and know how he took care of this vehicle. If you have any questions or requests, please contact me (Jeff).

2013 Lincoln MKS EcoBoost

Tue, 13 Nov 2012

A Bench-Warmer In Waiting
I hail from Cleveland, and that means I'm familiar with sports franchises that are always falling short of championships. The Indians, the Browns, the Cavs - they've all come close, but being a resident of C-Town means learning to appreciate the effort more than a reward that never seems to come. So I can appreciate the situation in which Lincoln finds itself today, one where the past is full of repeated attempts to be competitive, and looming on the future's horizon is the next hope on which everything hinges.
That next hope for Lincoln is not the car you see here, but rather the smaller, all-new 2013 MKZ sedan. Like LeBron James entering Gund Arena for the first time, the MKZ will enter dealerships this fall as the brand's chosen savior, markedly more stylish, advanced and desirable than anything offered by Lincoln in recent memory. And that would make this car, the 2013 Lincoln MKS EcoBoost, one of the other 20 guys whose names I can't remember who played alongside LeBron during his rookie season.

How the demise of Lincoln's Town Car has kick-started a limo revolution

Sun, 30 Dec 2012

The deaths of the Ford Crown Victoria and the Lincoln Town Car have meant overhauls of three high-profile American fleets: police, taxi and livery car. Just as police fleets are more open to considering other options and a Nissan van is the new face of the NYC taxi, livery car companies are looking at replacements for the Town Car beyond The Blue Oval. Ford, via Lincoln, has made an MKT Town Car (pictured), but an article in the Detroit News claims "it has failed to win over most of the big limousine companies." The upstarts trying to move in include livery and limo editions of the Cadillac XTS, and livery specifications of the Toyota Avalon and Chrysler 300.
Each of those challengers, however, faces challenges. The Town Car was a workhorse, American, rear-wheel-drive sedan with plenty of rear legroom. Cadillac has been in the livery space before but with decontented models that were about selling the brand, not its luxury. It is taking the opposite approach with the XTS, pointing out that its livery edition is "contented in the upper half of the XTS range." Still, the CEO of Michigan's largest livery company says "it's quite a bit smaller than what we're used to," and he also prefers rear-wheel drive.
The Chrysler 300 is rear-wheel drive, and American, which matters to some companies, but Chrysler hasn't yet revealed the livery package for it. The livery Avalon marks Toyota's first time getting into that business in the US, a natural step after having done so well with taxi clients and with the Town Car out of the way. Still, the livery client is a different to taxi buyers, so the Avalon could face other soft-touch hurdles.

Ford's Galhotra succeeds Farley as head of Lincoln

Wed, 23 Jul 2014

Ford Motor Company is announcing a major personnel shakeup that could have a dramatic effect on the future of the Lincoln division. Kumar Galhotra (pictured above), currently vice president of engineering at Ford for all of its vehicles worldwide, is taking over as the president of the luxury brand on September 1, replacing Jim Farley. The automaker is also hiring a new head of advanced engineering.
Galhotra has a huge job ahead of him as the new boss of Lincoln worldwide, overseeing product development, marketing, sales and service. His task is to turn the luxury division into a world-class brand as quickly as possible, and he reports directly to Ford President and CEO Mark Fields.
"These changes underscore our commitment to build on the success of our One Ford plan by accelerating our pace of progress. They also make clear we are serious about Lincoln as a world-class luxury brand and that product excellence and innovation are what will deliver growth and define our entire company going forward," said Fields in the company's announcement.
