Used Lincoln Continental for Sale

I have always been a fan of the big body cars. The Lincoln Continental fully embodies exactly what it means to be big and luxurious with its 3.8L V6, air ride suspension, leather interior, wood grain trim and all digital gauges. The particular model I own also has a all black ragtop. The first thing you notice about the Lincoln Continental when you approach it is its size, its a huge car, weighing approximately 3500lbs. While it is part of Ford's luxury line, you will immediately notice that it is missing one important feature, or 4 to be exact. The original wheels are very underwhelming. They are advertised as "alloy" wheels, are not aesthetically pleasing, and they are only 15 inches. Driving the vehicle is a wonderful experience. The handling is incredibly soft, the leather seats are very comfortable, and digital gauges are very easy to read and provide some additional info not traditionally seen with analog gauges. The estimate MPG and total miles left in the gas tank are nice features. You will immediately notice, due to the size of the vehicle, that this car does have a wide turning radius and some extra care must be taken when parking in or pulling out of parking spaces. While the engine is not as large as its Grand Marquis and Crown Victoria counterparts its still has decent pickup but make no mistake about it this car is not about getting to your destination quickly as much as it is about getting to your destination in style. This car seats six full size adults comfortably, so hauling passengers on long road trips is actually pleasant. The amount of cargo space in the trunk is also very nice, having no issue accommodating multiple suit cases. All doors, locks and seat adjustments are power and while this is to be expected in a luxury car it is a nice adjustment coming from the old and crank windows. At the end of the day, despite its lackluster wheels and engine power that can leave you wanting more, this vehicle has been wonderful to own and drive, both in the city and on long trips.

I absolutely loved this car. It was chocolate brown with brown interior. Everything was just "better" than any car I had ever owned. I bought it in California, drove it to New York and then back to Chicago. It just seemed to fly along the freeway. I kept it in drive most of the time. I have had other cars that had the drive feature, but they did not seem as reliable and consistent as the Continental. I actually named my car Ramone because it seemed to have its own personality. The upkeep was amazingly easy and cost no more than any of the less expensive cars I had previously owned. The electric windows worked perfectly in the heat of the desert when we drove through it, and in the 10 below zero Chicago winter. I also noticed immediately that the dials were better lit and a little larger and easier to read during night driving. That was really a plus for me, since I do a lot of driving after dark. Also, the engine was very soft and quiet - according to my mother it sounded more like a panther purring than a "mechanical" thing. Also, the way the driver's seat could be adjusted was outstanding (I don't know about the other seats because NO ONE but me ever drove Ramone).

Have had this vehicle for 10 years. Purchased from the grandparents. It is a nice smooth ride. It has a comfortable and reasonably luxurious interior. It is a bit of a boat and thus has fairly poor gas mileage, but it is typical for its size and class. I replaced the shocks on it with a different style due to the shock style (some sort of electric inflated air shock) killing the battery when it was left for any significant period of time.
