1993 Lincoln Mark VIII 4.6 from North America
Summary:
This car is very good and it is worth well more than it is valued at
Faults:
Transmission started to slip at 120,000.
Driver-side mirror became hard to see out of.
Door handles on both sides got loose.
Buttons on the temperature control started to crack.
The Head lights get fogged up and makes it very hard to see out of when it is raining or has just rained.
General Comments:
This car is very fast.
The gas mileage isn't good at all and my car only runs good on premium octane.
The stock system was mediocre at best. I put a different head unit in it with sub-woofers and it made a world of difference.
It is surprisingly good in snow with winter tires.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

No wonder your transmission blew up you're not supposed to downshift if you are going 55 MPH. I had a 1993 Mark VIII for nearly 2 years and replaced the transmission fluid and filter myself and never had any tranny problems whatsoever. In fact, I didn't have very many maintenance issues at all.
I recommend this car to everyone who is interested, especially since they are cheap because of this recession.
