Hopefully you are good at engineering.

If not, you've got yourself a death-trap on wheels.

We purchased our 1989 Lincoln Continental Signature Series off the show room floor. Fully Loaded with everything you can think of. We loved this car so much, I never had a problem with acceleration. In fact she would spin a wheel for the longest distance. Until 1995 my grandmother was going to work and we found out the cars air bags had burst overnight. We had that fixed and it never gave us problems again. Until 1998 in the piggly wiggly parkinglot the head gasket blew up. Also at the same time, the a/c quit and the paint clear coat begin to chip, we fixed the head gasket and in 1999 we drove it to maggie valley which is 400 miles away. The DCL light wouldn't be quiet. THIS WAS THE LAST STRAW!! When we got home the next day we went to a local used car dealership and purchased a White 1991 Cadillac Sedan Deville. Which by far won our heart. Smoother ride. And a extremely powerful engine. (0-60 in 8 seconds). We parked the Lincoln in the backyard until someone came up and purchased it for 1500 dollars. We knew that the worst was yet to come if we didn't get rid of it. And we DO NOT MISS IT. That's the last Ford we will ever own. Customer satisfaction sucks. Workmanship sucks. We absoulutly love our Cadillac. Long and Chrome. And believe it or not, but the gas mileage is good too. 22 mpg in the city and 26-28 mpg on the highway. Get rid of your Lincoln while you still can. The problems never end. Purchase a Cadillac and the quality and style will make you happy. I know that mine has.

To the may 7th comment:

Why don't you do your maintainance and maybe your car will last a bit longer.

My father leased a 1990 Lincoln Continental 50th Anniversary Edition when they came out. He had a 1985 Continental before that and loved it.

The 1990 was a different story. He didn't like the way it drove and handled. The 3.8 V6 was a real slug, gas hog and no power. A real disappointment for a Lincoln.

It was a step backwards after the 1985 one he had. He said it just felt like a boat and had no special feeling about it.

In October of 1992 when the new 1993 models came out he turned it back in before the lease was up just to get rid of it. He bought a 1993 Mark III with the 32 valve V8 in it and loved it. It was great to have some power again.
