Darien, Georgia, United States
|
1997 Lincoln Mark VIII. Evergreen Pearl with gray leather interior. 140k miles. Power windows, power door locks, power seats, power tilt and telescopic steering column, cruise control, cold A/C, rear defogger, air ride suspension, moon roof, AM/FM Cassette with 6 Disc CD changer in trunk.
Car has the 4.6 liter all aluminum 4 cam 32 valve V8 rated at 280 horsepower, and the 4R70W automatic transmission. Four wheel independent suspension and four wheel disc brakes. Car averages mid 20 mpg highway. I have replaced both upper and lower control arms with ball joints. The nifty neon trunk mounted tail/brake light works, and is a rather pricey item all by itself. Car is currently being driven on an average of 50 miles per day currently. Hate to sell, but need a truck. Car is 18 years old and does need some work: * The blend door that opens to allow the heater to work is stuck shut. No heat until you either manually open it, or fix it. Air conditioning will freeze you out. * Car has cosmetic damage to right front fender, door, and bottom of right quarter panel ahead of the wheel. I have another door, and fender that go with the car for the asking price. * The car has two new rear tires, and two good front tires. It does need a four wheel alingment since the control arms were replaced and it isn't in check now. * The air ride suspension will leak down in the front after being parked for a few hours. It will pump back up after starting the car up, and rides very nicely afterwards. * The moon roof does not open. And on a positive not, it does not leak either. * Drivers side seat motor isn't working. Seat back will tilt back and front, but the seat itself will not move forward, or rearward. * Interior "A"-pillar molding on drivers sidfe is tan, not gray like the rest of the interior. * Drivers seat will not move forward or backward. It will recline, and the bottom moves up and down. Priced far below the Kelley Blue Book price in "Fair' condition, and car is way nicer than "Fair". Car is located in the coastal town of Darien, Georgia (about one hour south of Savannah right off of I-95). Car can be driven home as is, but would recommend a four wheel alignment before taking a long trip. Vehicle must be paid in full within ten days of the auctions end. Car can be stored up to 30 days unless you and I make prior arrangements. Frank |

Ford rethinking vehicle launch strategy
Tue, 07 May 2013With a new boss at the helm, Ford is looking at new ways to improve its vehicle launches in North America to prevent recent issues that have popped up with models like the Lincoln MKZ, Ford Escape and Ford Fusion. Speaking with Automotive News, Ford's new president of the Americas, Joe Hinrichs, revealed a few ways the automaker plans to avoid early build issues such as the engine fires on certain 2013 Escape and Fusion models and months-long delays for customers to receive their MKZs.
It sounds like the root of the problems may have been Ford's relationship with suppliers compounded by the fact that the product surge came on the heels of the recent industry-crippling recession, and in the AN article, Hinrichs says improvements are being made to reduce problems during the launch of new or redesigned models. Three such improvements that were implemented during the first quarter of this year including more rigorous quality comparisons, better use of computer technology to catch major problems sooner and hiring engineers to work closer with suppliers.
RWD Lincolns are coming, fate depends partly on MKZ success
Tue, 04 Dec 2012The product portfolio at Lincoln may seem a bit sparse at the moment, but if a report is to be believed, new products are on the way. TheDetroitBureau.com spoke with sources at Lincoln and Ford, who claimed the American premium brand is working on, perhaps more than one, rear-wheel-drive vehicle.
Lincoln would likely platform-share with the next-generation Ford Mustang to develop those RWD offerings in the early going. Moving forward, the report indicates that Lincoln could take the lead on other rear-drive projects in the future. As the RWD architecture continues to take shape, "most or all" of the front-wheel-drive portfolio will also be offered with all-wheel drive as an option, ala Audi.
But wait, there's more! The report also suggests that a replacement for the full-size MKS is on the way, as well as a new Navigator and a luxury crossover based on the current Ford Escape.
Ford recalling select Taurus, Explorer and Lincoln MKS models over fuel tanks
Sun, 31 Mar 2013Ford is recalling certain 2012 Taurus, 2013 Explorer and 2012 Lincoln MKS models over fuel tank concerns. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, vehicles built between July 19, 2011 and March 15, 2012 may have been built with fuel tanks that have a "marginally sealed seam" on the side. Those seams may not provide the strength necessary to protect the tank from rupture during a collision. They may also leak. The recall covers a total of 3,037 vehicles. NHTSA says that leaked fuel, in the presence of an ignition source, could easily cause a fire.
Dealers will inspect the tanks and replace them as need be free of charge. Owners can expect to be notified once the campaign begins on or around April 22, 2013. You can read the full NHTSA recall notice below for more information.
