THIS TOWN CAR SPEAKS FOR ITSELF, THERE IS TRULY NO "PERFECT" CAR IN THE USED CAR WORLD, BUT MINE IS EXTREMELY CLOSE!!
I am selling my one-owner '96 Cartier Town Car, finished in Silver Frost Metallic with contrasting Light Graphite (grey) leather interior. It has 93,700 miles, averaging 5,500 miles per year. This is a west coast snowbird car, having traveled back and forth between Vancouver, WA and Phoenix. The car has been serviced every 5,000 miles since new. This Town Car is in impeccable condition....the paint is beautiful, there are no dents (really), and the perfect leather interior is sumptuous for five full size passengers. All electric windows work flawlessly and the glass is excellent all around. The windows are all tinted and the tint is in great shape. The rubber seals/weatherstripping around the doors and windows are in fine condition. The A/C blows strong and cold, and all instruments, cruise control, and lights work properly, including the rear ceiling-mounted vanity mirrors/lights available only on the Cartier. This Town Car comes with heated front seats, upgraded JBL 9 speaker sound system, keyless entry, perfect headliner, and the 3 door Homelink garage door system. The upgraded 16" Lincoln alloy wheels have no curb rash and feature a matched set of Michelin Symmetry tires. The original Cartier embossed floor and trunk mats are in phenomenal condition as they have been covered with a second set of floor mats that also come with the car. Most Town Cars of this age have pitted/peeling chrome moldings...not this car...the chrome is perfect all around. The secret to the Town Car ride is the rear air suspension. The self-leveling suspension positions the body to sit level under varying loads, and has no air-bag/compressor issues or air leaks. Speaking of leaks, this Cartier's undercarriage is completely dry...no fluid leaks of any kind. As you would expect of a car of this quality; the owner's manual, original window sticker ($42,750), three keys/two remotes, jack, spare tire (donut), and tools are all part of the package. This is a non-smoker, no kids, no pets car that needs nothing. This Town Car has never been in an accident and has a perfect Carfax available for your inspection. If you are looking for an elegant, comfortable vehicle that gets great mileage for its size (17/25mpg on regular gas) and can accommodate several sets of golf clubs in its very large trunk, then this may be the car for you. The VIN is: 1LNLM83W3TY734875 and I have a clean and notarized Arizona title on hand. The car is priced a little higher than some on the market, but you will see the value when see/drive the car. Cadillac stopped building large luxury rear-wheel drive cars (Fleetwood Brougham) in 1996, while Lincoln continued producing the Town Car until 2011. They really don't build them like this anymore. This is truly a "needs nothing" Cartier.

Ford faces class-action lawsuit for selling vehicles without brake override systems
Fri, 29 Mar 2013A total of 20 Ford customers are suing the automaker in a class-action lawsuit for selling vehicles "vulnerable to unintended acceleration." According to Reuters, the suit names 30 models built between 2002 and 2010 with electronic throttle control systems but without a brake override system. Those include the 2004-2012 F-Series pickups and the 2005-2009 Lincoln Town Car. Adam Levitt, a partner with the law firm of Grant & Eisenhofer says the plaintiffs in the case want "to be compensated for their economic losses by having overpaid for cars that contained defects." Levitt contends that the plaintiffs would not have bought their vehicles or paid less for them had they known there was no brake override system in place.
Ford began installing brake override systems in its vehicles beginning in 2010. In response to the lawsuit, Ford has pointed to research by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that indicated that unintended acceleration is mostly caused by driver error, saying in a statement that, "NHTSA's work is far more scientific and trustworthy than work done by personal injury lawyers and their paid experts."
Belville et al v. Ford Motor Co. will be heard in US District Court in the Southern District of West Virginia.
2002 Lincoln Continental concept should've made production, headed for auction instead
Fri, 26 Sep 2014It seems like the retro design aesthetic in autos might be petering out, with even a former poster child like the Ford Mustang taking a step in a more modern direction. Sometimes those updates of old-school models really worked well, though. Just take a look above at the Lincoln Continental concept from 2002 that took the extruded shape of the 1960s version and updated it for the new millennium.
Now there's a chance for this gorgeous concept to take a spot in your garage, as RM Auctions is selling it as part of a 130-plus-car, no-reserve auction of the Sam Pack Collection on November 14 and 15, in Dallas, TX. Among the lots for sale are a number of Fords, including several recent concepts from the brand. "My collecting philosophy is simple: buy what I like, but always with an emphasis on quality," Pack said in the auction announcement.
The Continental concept absolutely nails the mix of modern and retro. Its perfectly crisp lines make the shape appear hewn from a single piece of metal, and there's just the slightest ornamentation with the angled, chrome slats in the grille and chrome strips over the wheel arches. It even retains the suicide doors from its inspiration.
