1994 Lincoln Continental Executive Series 3.8L from North America
Summary:
A luxury liner on wheels!
Faults:
I have had the car less than a month and already have experienced some trouble. The car is a one owner and in very stable condition. Minor problems included the fact that the blower on the air conditioning has failed.
Also, windows on the driver, and right passenger sides have come off track. These are minor repairs and usual of cars that have the extra amenities that are used more than often, just because they are there.
Just recently I had the water pump to expire and the system overheated causing the heads to warp. I could have had the heads reworked for a significant amount cheaper, but in view of it all I decided to have a new engine installed. This way I know what I am working with.
Also, the leather seats on the front leg rest are begining to show their age and I am currently investigating ways to have them repaired without replacement.
General Comments:
This car is the essence of luxury! It reeks of style with refined elegance and just a hint of of the attitude found in a sports car.
The cabin is drenched in leather, (wine berry colored), trimmed in birds eye maple wood, power seating and power windows. Everything, but the chauffier!
The air suspension, although costly at times, is amazing! Bump? What bump? You actually feel as if your riding on clouds of comfort. I can literally pass mile after mile of road and feel the same as I did when I first sat in the car. On my trips back home to New Orleans, the roads there are ferocious! Bumps every three inches or so. I thought I was some where besides Louisiana! Bumps? What bumps?
The car it's self drives like a sports car. Handling is spectacular while the motor powerful! The hum of the mighty engine slipping from 0-60 in no time flat while you casually sip your morning coffee not knowing the change of atmosphere!
All and all, a luxury liner on wheels!
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
