Attention: This beautiful ONE OWNER Lincoln Town Car will ONLY be for sale through this listing period ending 05/25. After then, the car will not be advertised on eBay. This is not a sales tactic. If you have interest in this car, I suggest you bid or contact us before the listing ends.
About the car: This is a one owner car that came from an elderly couple. The car has always been garaged and the condition reflects this. Exterior: Good condition. Paint is glossy. A few scuffs on the bumper. A small dent in the driver's door. (we were quoted $300 to PDR the dents). Tires are Michelin in good condition with lots of tread left. The chrome molding has a little oxidation under the clear protective layer on the front and rear bumpers (not a big deal, new 3M chrome rolls can be bought if desired) Interior: The interior is in very good condition. The seats are very clean and only the drivers seats shows some wear (but not much for a car of this age. No tears) Headliner, panels, all in good condition. Mechanical: The car HAS had the intake manifold replaced (the updated version with metal crossover), so this will not be a concern for the next owner. We were told by the owner that the car has always had synthetic oil changes. Both rear air suspension bags have been replaced this week. See photos. Only one was leaking slightly, but we decided to replace them both so no issues for the new owner. This is a Texas car, purchased in San Antonio at North Park Lincoln and always garaged at the owner's home in Austin. Which means NO RUST or flooding. Look at the photos we took while the car was on the rack for the air suspension work. No rust or oil leaks. Bottom line: The two major issues that are typical of Town Cars of this age (the suspension bags and the intake manifold) have both been replaced. These items would likely be $1,000+ in repairs if taken to a repair shop/Ford dealer. Bid accordingly. If you have any additional questions, call us anytime at 512-608-5523. We will assist you in getting the car picked up by a shipping company if you choose to have it shipped to your location or possibly pick you up at ABIA (Austin Airport) if we are available when your flight comes in. We are a small dealer west of Austin, TX and Texas buyers must pay TT&L. The car is sold as-is with no warranty expressed or implied.

2015 Lincoln Navigator ready to roll for $62,475*
Wed, 21 May 2014Fancy picking up a refreshed Lincoln Navigator? Well, prepare to shell out at least $62,475. That's a whopping increase of $6,310 for the now-EcoBoost-equipped SUV.
That's just for the two-wheel-drive Select model, though. Want to drive all four wheels? Better have an extra $3,575 laying around. Snagging the top-of-the-line Reserve model, meanwhile, demands a premium of $7,500.
For those extra bills, you'll net Lincoln Drive Control, complete with continuously controlled dampers, power running boards, Ziricote wood interior trim, upgraded leather, 22-inch wheels, a "unique" interior headliner and, of course, a "Reserve" badge.
Ford hybrids getting update to improve fuel economy
Tue, 16 Jul 2013Ford has announced that it is introducing "calibration updates designed to improve on-road fuel economy for owners of the 2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid, 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid and 2013 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid."
We can speculate that these changes are at least due in part to lawsuits over mileage claims of hybrid vehicles. The automaker is enhancing 2013 models starting in August by raising their electric cruising speed to 85 miles per hour from 62 mph, optimizing the use of active grille shutters and the climate control system, shortening the engine warm-up period by 50 percent and reducing electric fan speed to minimize the fan's energy consumption.
It bears mentioning that Ford is doing pretty well in the US electrified vehicle market this year. The company claims to have grown its share in the segment by 12 points to 16 percent while taking a high number of Toyota Prius trade-ins in the process. Conversely, Toyota has experienced a five-percent drop in new-Prius sales over the same period. Additionally, Ford states that it has increased its share of the US vehicle market by one percent this year, more than any full-line automaker.
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.
