Lincoln Continental Usados en Venta

I feel like MAYBE this car would have been a nice car, ten years ago. The person that sold me this car knew that the car had lots of damages. The car broke down two days after I put 1500$ cash down. I feel completely taking advantage of.

We've had this car for 12 years now and it's only needed a couple of repairs. High quality interior. Engine performance is ok for how heavy it is. Very good ride, and tons of interior room.

The Lincoln Continental is a very luxurious car on the inside with power all around. Also adding to the bonus on luxury is the sun/moon roof. It being my first luxury all power vehicle I was thrilled with it. It was quite roomy on the inside. The back seat alone could fit 4 average sized people. Some of the luxury amenities that were concentrated mainly on the front 2 passengers were also afforded to the back passengers also. Such as the air conditioning adjustments for the back passengers. Rear seat which was like a bench design was just as plush as the front two bucket type seats with a separating console for front passengers. Leg room was beyond plenty. The Continental also had an adjustable shock system for a stiffer ride or adjust to more of a boat in the water feel. The trunk space was immense considering all the space that was available in the cab of the vehicle. It being a somewhat twice the size of a compact vehicle makes you feel secure in the event an accident should occur. The components that make up the Lincoln, mainly the bigger ones such as frame work and axles are above the durability that one would imagine. However, its the smaller components, such as the dashboard material. Being the plastics did not last well when the sun was beating down on them on a 95 degree day. So the glues started to give away. The body of the Continental was very durable though. One big downside is with all of the Lincoln's luxury electrical add-ons such as power windows and intermittent windshield wiper motor started to have problems. Now I must also say that those issues really started to compromise the enjoy-ability after about 12 years. Which considering the time from new to used was well expected. The really bad part of the downfall for the Lincoln Continental 1997 was the price of parts to fix the big problems as they occurred. Power window motors plus the labor to fix is astronomical as well as replacing the tires. The mileage was nowhere near favorable. As I recall the mileage was about 16 miles to the gallon. So the 8 cylinder was quite a gas guzzler especially when manufactures manual requires that high test fuel be used to help the 8 cylinder run properly. As for speed and handling I found that the Lincoln handled comfortably considering its size.
