Great car, my in laws drove it to Florida always leaving right after Christmas and returning in May to the Jersey Shore.  No rust, clean inside.  My father in law, a Mechanical Engineer,  never believed that "the squeaky wheel gets the grease", all the wheels were greased! Although not the original owners, it appears after the initial investment was made, this vehicle was well maintained and cared for. 

Unfortunately. due to health issues, he can no longer drive.  The A/C is ice cold, all buttons, switches, knobs are functional.  As informed buyers will be aware Lincoln Towncars during that time frame had an issue with the Intake Manifold constructed from plastic that cracked over time resulting in engine coolant leaks.   However, having kept a watchful. eye over his pride and joy, he felt uneasy about passing a potential problem and the high cost to a new owner, he decided to have it replaced recently with the new aluminium coolant runner version.

As always my father in law wanted to be upfront.  This car is mechanically very sound, and generally looks good other than the following minor cosmetic/ wear and tear issues which could easily be corrected.  

The two back taillights have a small piece missing as seen in the pictures---this does not affect their functionality and they are not leaking.  On the rear passenger door, there is a 5" by 1/2" section of clear coat missing, as shown in the photo.  

The driver's seat and center console are showing cracks.

The rear bumper has small flaking of paint and could be easily repaired.. 

The front driver's side wheel has some tarnishing.

 As the Lincoln Towncar drives like a dream and are renowned for their soft and supple air ride suspension, one of the air bags in the rear suspension had a minor leak.  So rather than compromise the luxury ride and feel of the Towncar, by converting to coil springs, he decided to have both air bags replaced 4 weeks ago.  This car comes with two new front tires and rear tires that are 85% thread.

This is also for sale locally so I have the right to end this auction at any time.  The new owner will receive this car in turn key condition, fully detailed,  and serviced with new oil and filter.  Serious bidders with positive feedback only.  I will work with your shipper and I am open to storing the car for a reasonable time frame if necessary.  For the quality and condition of this vehicle, the reserve price is very reasonable.  Feel free to call with any questions  James---215-970-4820.

Good luck and Happy bidding!

Lincoln 'not true luxury' yet, says Ford design chief

Wed, 28 Aug 2013

Lincoln is "not true luxury," according to Ford's design boss, J Mays. His statements come from a story in The Detroit News that saw candid language on the issues facing Ford's troubled premium brand. Notably, there's a need for a strong character, with Mays saying, "Every brand needs to have a DNA and a unique selling point and things in the vehicle that make you think, 'That's that particular brand.'"
With a range of rebadged Fords, it's not hard to see why that DNA is missing. Mays hinted that a full recovery for Lincoln will be a ten-year process, that's been kicked off with the MKZ sedan. While that car is still largely a Ford Fusion under its extremely pretty wrapper, it's the first Lincoln in some time to inject its own unique take both through the exterior styling and through interior features, such as the vertical, pushbutton gear selection.
Some analysts weren't so certain about Mays' 10-year estimate. Jim Hall of 2953 Analytics thinks it'll be more like 30 years before Lincoln can show a true return to form. The issue, as Hall explains it, is that, "luxury has a degree of exclusivity," that Lincoln just doesn't have. Michelle Krebs from Edmunds adds, "it's definitely a wanna-be luxury brand," comparing the troubled American brand with Infiniti and Acura, two other brands that have struggled to find their place in the luxury market.

Ford issues six recalls covering 101,000 vehicles for multiple issues

Tue, 08 Jul 2014

Ford is announcing six separate recalls for a variety of issues affecting a dozen models and a total of 100,610 vehicles in North America. However, according to Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker, "None of them have caused accidents or injuries." Half of them cover fewer than 1,000 cars.
The largest recall covers 92,022 North American examples (about 83,250 in the US) of some models of the Ford Taurus, Lincoln MKS, Ford Interceptor, Flex and Lincoln MKT from the 2013 and 2014 model years; the 2012-2014 Edge and the 2014 Lincoln MKX. All of them have a potential issue with the halfshaft on the right side that might not be fully seated and could move outward over time. If it shifts too far, the models may no longer be able to drive, and the condition could also allow the vehicles to roll away, even when in Park. Dealers will inspect the shaft to make sure it's seated and will replace the part if necessary.
The next-largest recall covers 5,264 North American examples (4,867 in the US) of the Ford F59 Commercial Stripped Chassis from the 2011-2014 model years. It's possible that an electrical junction box can corrode in areas with salty roads and short circuit. The problem could potentially cause a fire. Dealers will replace the box with an improved design.
