One thing the towncar has over every other car is simplistic luxury, and the fact you barely have to do any maintenance. Lexus ls430 is great but you have to change that timing belt every 90k miles. Towncars forever lol
I was going to get one, but my dad put a stop to it, thankfully. Yes, simplistic luxury is refreshing in today’s world of screens, buttons everywhere, and twelve different driving modes! Comfort, size, and a good ride are all I want. A/C seats would have been excellent, I don’t think it would take away the simplicity, just make the seat heat button have two sides.
The starter in those LS430s are buried in the engine and require the removel of the entire top end. Its very expensive. $1500. The telescoping breaks all the time and the part is impossible to find. A dealer will charge you $1200 to fix.
Love Lincoln town cars I’m 40 I own a 03 town car
I’ll watch your videos for sure!
My brotha!!! I'm debating on getting one what are your thoughts on it and I will be 40 in May
@@namesake7139 get one for sure
I'm 40 own a 05 Towncar lol
@@namesake7139 go far it, I just brought 03 last week & I'm 46 ride exactly...😁
There is nothing...I mean nothing! That rides as smooth as a lincoln. The older caddies come close but no cigar. These cars are super reliable and get decent gas mileage for their size. I agree a Lexus is reliable but when they break down... boy are the parts expensive! I just bought a 2003 Lincoln Town Car and this is my second time owning one. When I drove it home I just had a big smile on my face because of how comfortable it was. I have come to a point in my life where comfort and reliability are the two main ingredients for me when owning a car and the Lincoln fits this perfectly! I think we need to hide these channel as more people will start to learn about this and drive the prices up...:)
I had a '96 Fleetwood w/the Lt1 5.7 (350) and that car was a Beast! Just the size of this massive car...27mpg or better on the hiway, and Awesome ride! But I now have a '98 Town Car Signature Series..and it rides Fantastic! 👍
Those alloy wheels alone are absolutely marvellous. What a beautiful, elegant car.
The '98-02 had a more unique style than the later models I think.
I agree 100
I like 95-97
@@alfredohinojosi1898 By far the best body style for any sedan. A mobster look.
I agree but I just bought an 03. Hopefully I will be just as happy
@@alfredohinojosi1898 I like those a lot too, but my favorite years are '90-'94. I prefer the larger headlights and the grille design.
I have 4 Lincolns. There is a place in Florida called Lincolnland. Everything Lincoln. Interior and exterior parts as well as mechanical parts. They have what you need. I keep them on speed dial.
Ahhh....Lincolnland. Hmmm, the Mecca for all Lincoln and Panther platform car owners. I grinned when I read that you had their number on speed dial. 😁
They are gone now. I miss the familiar sight on Gulf to Bay Blvd.
WHAT??????? Did they move to another location or do you mean that they are out of business?????!!!!!!! OMG!!!
Love my 07 Town Car!!!
Most reliable car I've ever owned.

The beauty, and I mean the true, absolute beauty of these land yachts is that, when you're going home at the end of the long, insufferable workday, you don't necessarily want to, let alone have the strength to, drag every Challenger between your job site in your home, nor do you necessarily want your car to beat the shit out of you, nor do you even want to have an incessant chat between you and your steering column about every little imperfection in the road,nor do you want, or even have the strength to,lift your hand to a stick ,all in the name of extra driving engagement that you will likely be too tired to necessarily feel. No, this is a big, comfy Cruiser designed to take you home in style and in Comfort,pure and simple.
I got a Mercury Grand Marquis around last year. Got it with 93K miles and put around 13K on it so far. Drive it to college, 50 or so miles almost every day. Love the thing, and I kind of wish I could get a Town Car one day.
Also, my first car was/is a chevy cruze which has sustained a few hits (and it's kind of a POS, but I try to fix it myself and drive it for the fuel economy :P), and sometimes it hits me that I just don't drive a shitbox anymore; that I drive a pretty good car.
Been driving Lincoln since 1988 my first was a 1983 Mark 6 I'm on my 5th
I love driving my town car so much, sometimes I just get in and go for a long ride!!!
Lol i do too. Im thinking about it right now.
I'm 16 and my first car is a 2007 Lincoln l town car presidential I bought it for $3700 and it had 133000 miles on it, it rides beautifully I need a new compressor and that's it.
My ‘07 is a Presidential too!! I hardly ever see another one on the road. I’m 69 and this will be my last car. I’ve had it for 3 years now, had 124k on it when I got it now it just turned 168k. Long story how I got but when I got out of hospital after cancer, I needed a car with good gas mileage. I was at my 91 year old friends who was good at finding those types and when I told him what I needed he said, “What about my Lincoln?” Told him i can’t afford that, he said, “I’ll give it to ya!” The rest is history!!
@@Dstrbrdgrnd thats so awesome i wish i could meet you, i havent found an 07 presidential yet, i live in maine, the car gets so many compliments im glad its a realiable vehicle
That ride is just getting broke in, man. Keep good quality filters and fluids in the engine and change spark plugs/coil packs every 50,000 miles. That car will run forever. The worst thing about those Panther platform cars is the heater/AC ac mode actuator up under the dash. It doesn't matter if you have the EATC head unit or manual 3 knob head unit. It is a poor design. I miss the old days where the heater/AC unit was controlled by wire cables and vacuum solenoids. Nowadays it is all teeny-tiny little motors that burn out or plastic gears that strip....instead. If you keep vehicle long enough it WILL happen. I had a flap inside my HVAC box (98' MGM) in dash to completely break at pivot point. I still had AC/heat.....just not on my feet. Most of the air came out of dash vents no matter what the setting on control unit. But it was worth getting it fixed. My Mercury runs like a champs, gets good mileage even at 212,000 miles...and still floats like I'm riding on my grandpa's Lazyboy recliner. Take good care of your car....and it will take good care of you.😉👍
Thanks as a 16yo considering a towncar so my high school beater this was very helpful thank you.
I own an 08 crown victoria lx. Non police model. 5 things I love and 5 I hate. 1. Handles like a dream, the car feels like its floating when you're driving it and its rear wheel drive. 2. Great value for money, just such a reliable well built vehicle that will last you a very long time. 3. Very comfortable interior, and even though the tape deck and cd stereo is dated, I still rock it, plus the cassette tape has Bluetooth and aux cord adapters which is just fine for me and helps update that a little bit. 4. Good weight distribution, 50/50 front to rear weight is ideal when you drive in less than ideal weather since I do live in Canada. 5. The sheer utility that you get out of a vehicle like this is worth it, tons of trunk space, the 6th seat which helps when you got more passengers, and it really gets you everywhere you need to go.
Now for the things I hate.
1. The rear shocks on my model is notorious for sagging overtime. Right now if I have too much weight in the trunk, the rear sits down quite a bit and may drag over a steep incline. Will have to get that fixed still. 2. The temperature blend door actuator was shot when I bought the car, its a real pain in the ass to replace but at least if you got a few simple tools and know how its a straight forward job, takes a few hours to get done. Chances are I'm gonna have to replace it again within the next 10 years. 3. The traction control cuts way too much power. Whether you're in some silly little race against someone at the lights or showing up your buddies, the vehicle feels sluggish when you're trying to take off. Even when you do turn it off, this is not a race car by any means, so don't let that big v8 and rwd fool you into thinking its fast. 4. Its a big car, although I do love big cars, this is not a good thing when trying to park downtown or go through tight streets with tight turns, its long, wide and you cant maneuver it very well in tight areas. 5. ... well I cant think of anything else.
I have a lot more reasons why I love the car and yes, I recommend buying one if youre looking into it for any of you reading. Most of the things I hate can be fixed and obviously in the long run, parts need to be replaced at some point. But just overall the best vehicle I will ever own. Glad I got one.
Do you use regular grade gasoline? If you want your 4.6 V8 a bit more spirited, try using premium grade gasoline. I have a 2004 Lincoln Town Car and I use nothing but 93-octane premium unleaded fuel. It gets excellent gas mileage too! The engine runs smother and acceleration is peppier. My car has 22,800+ miles on it.
I've had a 76 Mark IV, a 77 Town Coupe, 86TC, 89 TC, and a 98 TC. I now daily-drive a 2020 Continental and love it!! I'm 58 years old. My 98 TC was exactly the same color and same wheels.
I bought one when I was 26, I sold every car I had except this one , has front end damage now because I'm a fool , but I have to have it back on then road by next year!! My favorite car I ever had , wanted one for years . I'm 30 now ...young people I guess? ( I hope ! ) it's an 03, and that's exactly what I tell people . After a long day of work, I could care less how long traffic is. ( welder ) blast A/C and enjoy the ride lol
I am buying a 2005 signature Town Car (White) this Friday from a man and woman I know. It has no dents and no rust and has 194,000 miles, but is a good one and of course has the 4.6 V8 engine. I am retired age 68 and am a master mechanic and machinist and already know that drive train being I am aware of your 97 to 03 F150 trucks. Mine has the moon roof and leather seats. I was surprised to find that the seats are as thick and padded as a 1989 signature I owned. Im still in disbelief of how that car weigh 4400 lbs empty curb weight and look so compact.
Was 17yrs when I got my first car/first Lincoln town car,I have driven it as my daily car have gotten it up to 154k miles,and I have been in love with it since
I had a 2006 Lincoln Town Car Signature until I had an accident in Oct 2020, now I have a 2017 Lincoln Continental Reserve which i love. This makes it my 2nd Lincoln. The Town Cars are great, I like the older Cadillac's too. Slogan at one time..."Lincoln What A Luxury Car Should Be".
I just bought a 2006 TC for 4400.
I replaced the front brake rotors and pads, fuel filter, air filter, front head lights. Oil and filter change. Requires over 6 quarts of 5-20.
Fixed the leak in the AC inlet on the passenger side. RTV brah. Replaced the foam BS.
Airbag code 34, passenger side seatbelt pretensioner ohms way too high. Got it rebuilt to 90$.
Next steps, fix the ac blend door stuck on defrost. Requires dash removal.
Other than that, 145k on the clock and power train good to go.
Rock auto to save cash, just takes time to get it. A few days.
That was my first car, same color too! I loved that car!
I'm happy you mentioned the paint that seems to change color. I have a 2007 Town Car Signature L painted in "Satellite Silver Metallic" and it either looks like a mix of baby blue and teal or silver depending on the light outside. always loved the color. i also absolutely agree about resting in the seats after a long day of work. it's definitely my favorite part of the car
Gorgeous car! . Love the '98-02 body style. Got a couple of those myself; one with 380K on the original engine
When did u swap the trans?
Town cars, mercury grands and crown vics are immaculate cars really are great performers
I got a 1996 Fleetwood Brougham, another great land yacht
I have a 99 executive. Intake manifolds go unless it has the aluminum coolant runner
Even the aluminum ones crap out. Cause the base of the coolant crossover is plastic and it's brittle when you yank it off. I've managed to save one by pulling it and caking it with RTV but the two others still leaked.
What a beautiful car, an American classic.
I loved your video and how you shared your enjoyment with owning this car. I have 4 panther vehicles from the 2000 crown victoria, 2000 grand marquis, 2004 grand marquis, and my 1996 town car which is love but hate that I wrecked the front end and although it drive just fine, it is not the same visually and for that I am frustrated at myself for that happening. These cars are beautiful and wonderful cars and love the older all digital dash, but regardless, I like the car and will eventually get one of the later ones that were near the end of the manufacturing cycle. My friend wants to get one and so will I. Thank you for sharing your video and it is unfortunate that they are not a market item anymore.
I'm 46 the killing of these type cars moved everybody to suv's and pickup trucks which are still rear wheel drive body on frame vehicles for the most part .... Not a lot of people liked the unibody front wheel drive junk that replaced them that's why I drive a conversion van, pickup, and town car!!
I’m 29 and I was on Facebook marketplace last night looking for me a 2011 town car
I drove a 1988 Lincoln Town Car Signature Series for approximately 20 years. This Town Car was well made and trouble free. I purchased a 2000 Town Car Signature Series in November 2020. This car was owned by a retired couple, always garaged and well maintained. (mileage 150,000) After one week of driving this vehicle I placed a For Sale sign on the window. And it's still for sale. What a piece of shit. It's a Ford, not a traditional Lincoln. You can find my Town Car on Facebook Marketplace. Asking $4995.00 but will take less.
As a young man I did not appreciate these cars. I was into sporty and fast. Now as I am getting older I love these cars more than any sportscar.
Absolutely
Nice car! I lived in Chatt for 8 years, now I’m back up by knoxville. Cool to see another TC owner posting in my area.
Sport sedans are in!!! Bring back the panther with a refresh from the last design!! Have 2 engine options, coyote and godzilla!!! They would sell like hot cakes!!!! Make it a nitch car!!!
Itd probably be around 120k
I dunno I think horsepower in the 300 range And 400 torque max is where American luxury cars are at their best. They are made to be the best at driving on basic, normal roads in the United States and maybe Canada. A Canadian tour in a Town Car would be epic!
This massive 2 ton car should have 300 HP we're not asking for much, only 70 - 80 more HP, 5 speed automatic gearbox and only 3:55 rear axle. But the greed of American car companies made them not care about the rest of the world markets, and since Ford was selling these cars well at the end of the nineties and did not receive complaints about engine capacity in the United States, there was no reason to upgrade this platform. The main reason that killed these cars is the lack of upgrades. Ford wanted to phase out the town car An extra 70 horsepower wouldn't bankrupt Ford
A my Air shocks were replaced with standard shocks and yes l had to rebuild the throws ball joints and the front end parts well worth it !
I love tonw car I gor 2001 lincoln town car Cartier model and its drives amazing 👍👍
I also have a 2001 Cartier, and I can confirm your statement is true.
I currently have 3 panther platform cars, a 2001 Crown Vic with 198,000 miles, a 2007 Lincoln town car signature limited with 178,000 miles, that is kinda of beat up, and a 2004 Lincoln Town Car Signature that is in mint condition with only 107,000 miles on it. Not a spot of rust on it, or under it. I went to South Carolina to get the 04 a couple of weeks ago. It was well worth the 3 hr drive from east TN to buy it. I love these cars, They ride like a dream, they're very reliable, and cheap and easy to work on when something does break. Luckily they made a lot of these, so there's still a lot of new and used parts available. I have about $6000 total invested in all 3. I bought the first 2 to commute to work about an hour each way and they've never let me down. I no longer make that long commute but I loved the first 2 so much that I wanted a reliable, affordable luxury cruiser for taking long trips and taking the wife out on dates. Where you live looks very familiar to me, Knoxville area maybe? I'm in the Greeneville area.
The decline of the Town Car and the Panther cars is like a giant self inflicted wound - the initial success of the Panther was accidental serendipity, unfortunately it was not well loved by its manufacturer. Without a champion to help it along it suffered from engineering malaise. Because no one at Ford saw a future for this car it’s engineering team was actually quite small - this is why it never received much of any improvement and was left to die on the vine. I love my Presidential Edition 2006 - but it could have been so much more of a car. It has a lot of disappointing shortcomings that I will be working to improve. Honestly my 1998 Continental has a better ride and a more well coordinated powertrain. The seats in the 2003 and newer TC are actually less comfortable than the 2002 and earlier, the seat ergonomics are awkward and reveal the shortage of engineers on the Panther line. I will eventually have the seats reconfigured to be more like a good BarcaLounger: sumptuous luxury that immediately makes you feel good. The 2003 and newer TC front suspension design has a major design flaw: it has about 2” less front wheel travel than the 2002 and earlier. I probably won’t be able to change that. I wish that Ford had updated the rear suspension to eliminate the live rear axle and instead use the IRS off their sport utility. The Panther does have a good ride overall - but suffers from rear axle tramp on uneven roads, making the ride closer to a pickup truck. An IRS would eliminate the secondary oscillation from the heavy rear axle moving around. As far as power the 4.6 2V engine has some decent aftermarket support. Using a host of TFS parts, their heads and cams, it is easy to achieve 350 to 380 horsepower and still run on regular gas and have a smooth running engine that is not a lumpy hot rod.
Is that conversion expensive and thinking about 02 continental, could I do conversion on that too?
@@benjamingordon2627 I have no idea what you would consider expensive, but I would expect at least several thousand dollars minimum - more depending on how much engineering and fabrication was needed.
Is this the reason for the inability of the Panther engines to extract more than 300 horsepower and to change the gearbox???
@@jehadhjaya2767 Panthers were more cruisers than muscle car, but they had good low down torque that car magazines seemed to consistently report mid 8 second to 9 second 0-60mph acceleration. If you need more power TFS offers a simple 380 horsepower top end heads and cams upgrade kit. TFS heads swap the intake rocker position and tilt the intake port for a dramatic increase in air flow. TFS's mild performance cam compliments their head air flow and needs headers (there are mid length panther headers available, in stainless steel even). Just make sure to get a quality aluminum performance driveshaft for reduced harmonics if you plan to drive much above 110 mph. Nothing wrong with the panther automatic trans, variants of this transmission were used in trucks up to the E450 commercial van. Or maybe you want a Tremec T56 manual transmission?
Good vid. I've always wanted one...thanks for helping me make up my mind to buy one.
Want to buy mine? It’s for sale
3 years late.
About the air suspension. You are right.
I owned both town car and a w220 Mercedes s500. Still have the s500.
What it cost to replace entire air suspension system on Town Car is barely one, uno, singular off brand air shock or $2500 for mbz shock, just the shock, on the S500. And s500 have four of them. On top of air pump, which can be another $1500. And the distribution valve, another $1000 or so. Easily $12,000 for air suspension if one go to dealer, just in parts. Maybe half that if one gets creative with non dealer sources.
03-11 models got totally different front suspension components
Fell in love with the 98 when brand new! Still want one. Need to take the plunge! Someone talk me into it...
Definitely look for one coming fresh from an estate where pop’s lost his license not some beat thing a gangster owned
@@RustyZipper Definitely a retired person's car is the way to go. A beater owned by a thug is a no go. Haha
I just got a 2004 town car, 116,000 miles. I am 2nd owner, and every thing works 100%. It was garage kept. This is the best riding car this old man (76) has ever driven. When I told my son about it he was not interested due to it being 20 yrs old! But when he came over and looked at it, then drove it!!!! First thing he said was "put that in your will!" I drive it to Walmart once a week..8 miles round trip. Should last for a while.... I paid $4800 for it and sold my truck. If you can find one, go look at it!!!!
The color code is Champagne Clearcoat 😍
Truman85 Thanks 🙏
Perfect car just bought a 2003 signature with 207k miles just broken in
Aside from the notorious wide-spread rain water leaks that these are known for, I love my 07 Lincoln --- another great thing is that it's super easy to find low-mileage well-maintained Lincoln's because most Lincoln's were sold to elderly people👍
A little monthly cleaning and silicone around the vent will stop that. Check out “Ford Boss Me” here on YT
It's a keeper. Indeed 2011 was a sad day. The tan color is boring, but cool, doesn't get real dirty easy, hides dust. I have a newer Impala in pepperdust, 2 colors in one, tan in bright sin, daylight. In the evening it looks grey. I love it.
Im 3 years late on coming across this video. My daily driver is a 2000 executive series black on black. Found it as a non runner with 90k miles in an older mans driveway. Long story short, it belonged to his mother who purchased new who passed away and was left to him. He himself was up in age and due to health reasons and the fact the car itself needed some repairs decided to part with it. Mostly the common problems these cars are known for with age. Probably the easiest car to work on and the best car ive owned hands down. Its no powerhouse there's nothing special about it but its good enough to keep up to today's standards, its very reliable, very comfortable, not too bad on mpgs, and it was cheap even after the repairs it needed. I owned a 95 town car years ago that was also reliable and a couple of grand marquis before that. I always said ill never part with my town car and if i had to, I would find another or a marquis to replace it.
Lincoln Town Car Ford Crown Victoria and,Mercury Gran Marque three sister cars all my favorites. I have a 2009 CVPI as my first car im 21 and I absolutely love it who doesn't love these land boats?
I drive a 2001 lincoln town car have no problems with it still drives good
Nothing like the comfort of a Town car!!!! It's like sitting in a nice living room lol smartest car for the money!!!!! There is no reason to go into deep debt for a car!!! You can get the Town car with low miles for $3500 to $7500
It’s the most versatile car ever made. It’s a classic mob car, or funeral car, or cop car, or old guy car and limo too!
Please pass the Grey Poupon.!
I bought a ford 500. My next car in the next few months will be a Lincoln town car. You can't beat the panther platform. My wife will get my 500 limited and I'll drive bigger luxoboat. I'm 28, back is fucked from trucking since I was 21. All I want is a simple reliable comfortable car that gives my almost 6foot7 350 pound ass room.
Did you mention the Northstar engine at 07:08? The Northstar is basically the worst engine in modern history (unless you love to empty your wallet on repairs), so maybe we should all be happy as a cheese doodle that Ford didn't try to copy that.
Cadillac was copying the modular engine with the northstar and failed miserably
Yeah, but the Northstar goes like the wind itself. If you have one of the majority without blow by in the gaskets, it just runs great and has an exciting character.
Love my Grand Marquis GS but I want a Town Car next
I'm going to test driving a 1999 Grand Marquis this.
If I choose to buy it. Will it last?
U just got a new subscriber.
The beautiful BQ paint code! Have a 2001 Signature almost just like it. Ours is a daily driver.
got a 99 a month ago with 86k miles for 2400$. Love it to bits n pieces but i miss my crv lol.
It’s a Lincoln. You don’t compare it to a Lexus or Toyota. 😉 I have an 07, gets a bit better mileage than yours. Since I work in the morning as well (leave at 3AM) I don’t like the headlights. Just not as bright as they could be I think. I agree on the plastics and everything else you said.
I have 2007 signature limited 112000 mile excellent condition
Mine is an ‘07 also, Presidential. I just love it!!! Just turned 168k miles
Mine has 244K, got in a wreck, still drives perfectly. Have everything to rebuild it, and it’ll happen soon.
No issues with it at all
I’m three years late to the conversation, but I appreciate the feedback. I’m strongly considering buying one of these cars.
The color interior/exterior combination you have is the one I want, so your video made me stop scrolling. 👏🏼👍🏼
I listened closely to the things you don’t like, but I think they’re more preferences than they are cons. That cheesy piece on the door could probably be rewrapped in leather if it’s bothersome to you.
I also think the manufacturers didn’t put a lot of power in this model car (in terms of motor) because they were designed and marketed for a specific buyer: the middle aged to the elderly. It’s perfect as is for an elderly woman, and an elderly man will just buy himself a sports car and save this for the Sunday drive in to church if that’s what he’s looking for.
As far as the weak front end, every car manufacturer has its flaws, quirks, and weaknesses.
When they’re building these cars, they’ve got to figure out where to put the money and where to skimp. At least that’s the way I see it.🤷🏽♀️😂
Thanks for a helpful video.😊👍🏼
It's a good thing that they stuck with the 4.6. Taken care of, that engine will do half a million miles.
Remember that we are talking about a luxury sedan that weighs 2 tons and needs 300 horsepower.
I’m buying one for my first car. I love these things
Same I love these cars Lincoln town car & also the Ford explorer Eddie bauer 👌🏽👌🏽
How old are you?
Where at in TN you live? Looks like Nashville in the video. I live around Madison County myself. I don't have a Town Car, but I do have a 2010 CVPI.
I love driving my town car. Sometimes I’ll just drive to be driving!!!
It is the driving experience itself you have in these cars it's just very.
I loved my 2003 Town Car, until some asshole totaled it while they did demo derby in the parking lot. Now I have a 2011 Cadillac DTS so front wheel drive but absolutely love it
I considered a DTS
I love my DTS, but I did love the Town Car too, wish I had both
The Lincoln Town Car was a member of the family of Ford Panther Platform cars which included the Ford Crown Victoria and the Mercury Grand Marquis. When Ford stopped making the Panther Platform cars it was the end of era in automobiles. These cars were the last of the full size, body on a frame, V8 engine, and rear wheel drive with a solid axle. You will not see cars like this ever again.
I'm 65..and Own a 1999 Lincoln Town car (Cartier)Absoultley Love it!😄
the mercury marauder had the 32v engine, but it would have been a lot cooler if they put that engine in the rest of the panther cars and then did the cobra version for the marauder, one day I plan on supercharging mine because its a cheaper way to get roughly the same power as the marauder. I have a 96 lincoln, and youre right about younger people being into the land boats I guess because im 28 and I love them. 95-97 town cars are my favorite and I waited several years to come across the perfect one, and now I have it and Ill drive it until you cant buy gasoline anymore lol
luxur.review is the correct spelling
town car was made for
car service it is comfortable big.safe
dependable
i have 04
That’s a great year, much more modern than mine. My TC has the same tech as a 90s TC but a simpler interior.
I'm trying to buy one now
Nice ride !!
Thanks for the video
I’m wondering Shocks and air suspension all the way around for 300$
Huh?!!
Maybe in parts
To have it done, which most people do.
It’s more like $800 for all the shocks n struts alone
I know because I just did them
Check a few places that’s the going price In Chicagoland
The air system I’m guessing might be another 700$ plus to have done.
So ya if you work on your car not too bad.
At 170 and hour for labor
Hang on!!
You can always just open the trunk and on the left-hand side turn the air ride switch off.
Well, maybe I embellished the story but I tried to make a point that’s it’s cheap and easy to work on.
I think the Lincoln Town Car will eventually be a classic especially those from the 80's and 90's even though I still see them where I live. I just hate when those trick these beauties out with crazy wheels & lifts.
i love it, can you make more videos with town car?
I will try!
Thanks for the suggestion!
Great and funny video, full of truth lol
There's only one thing I really dislike about my 2002 Town Car ... PARKING! I don't have to concern myself with getting IN the parking spot, it's getting OUT. Plan ahead when scoping out where you will park.
What are some front end parts that go out? My controll arms fell once i rellaced ball joints, upper and lower and sway bar links its been months and it has some clunking noise when turning wheel all the way or doing over bumps
I've got the same car l would buy another one it a very dependable.
I love my town cars , 95 cartier and 96 signature both excellent condition ,
I'm 16 and I just bought a 1999 Lincoln Town Car
They're practical. You fix out a little issues than any car that old is going to have and it may drive another hundred thousand miles will I have any more problems not to mention it's pretty cheap to fix the problems. A lot of the late 90s and early 2000s big vehicles had issues with their front end. All their bushings are rubber. A 20 year old car is going to need new bushings creating the 60s you couldn't get 20 years out of any vehicle without pulling the motor and rebuilding it not to mention how quick they rusted out. You buy an expensive luxury car and you're just going to spend endless amounts of money on it. You buy anything from a Ford Lincoln or Mercury on the panther platform and you can drive it forever for very little money. I've owned a couple Volvos and I can tell you, it cost me about 1500 a year just to keep that Volvo on the road. I've been driving my old Durango for 2 years and all I've had to do is change oil.
Good job! I have an 01 Cartier with slight hesitation in acceleration. Still trying to figure that out! AC cuts in and out... tried charging, got too much. Let some out and put some back in again. I think the orifice may be clogged.
Blend door going bad.
@@timshort9585 blend door on what? The only blend door I know of is the heat/air to move from floor to dash, etc. Thanks for the reply. The hesitation is in the engine. Are you saying that blend door causes this? The heat blend works fine so far.
@@AwesomeFuture777 If its not opening properly, it can cause a ton of issues. Very common problem with these models.
@@timshort9585 yeah the blend door works great
Clean the throttle body a likely culprit for hesitation. Otherwise might be plugs, coil packs or fuel injectors butter fastest cheapest one is cleaning the throttle body with a spray cleaner made for it.
Is the town car a good first car?
I would say yes. Unless you want better gas mileage.
It definitely is if you don’t care about features and driving capabilities.
Any problems with frame rust on this models ?
Check out “Ford Boss Me” on TH-cam where he looked at a nice black Signature
I'm 19 and I just got a 1998 town car executive series for my first car. Imma sell it now bc you lost that car.

I am looking to buy a 2005 for a second vehicle in case I have to put my GMC Terrain work vehicle in the shop.
I'm not big on your year style, I had 2 of those, both with hood ornaments why don't you have one? currently I have an 03, 07 and 11 Towncar... the 07 I oval track race on a 1/4 mile, the 11 is about as nice as yours.. i cant see me ever running anything else.. power is an issue, i looked into a pro chargers but i just cant justify it.. I don't agree with the engine change to much the 4.6 2 valve is so reliable.. 4 valve is NOT reliable..
i liked the video and i like your car! 27 years old if that matters to your theory!
Imo those new waterfall front grilles arents and nice or unique as the 98-02. The good thing about 03+ is you have rack and pinion steering wich is much stronger than the recirculating ball
so how do you fix the crooked steering wheel? what do you mean by redo the whole front?
Take it to a shop, the front end components of the suspension start to wear. THEY can replace the part pretty cheap and align the front end and it'll fix it
Do you know what exactly needs to be replaced? Shocks?
The best car I ever drove ,
Hi is it a 5 speed ?
Your car weights 4700 hundred lbs. & it has 239 horses. So this is a old person car. What a great car. I have one.
I’m looking for a cate motor
I have a 2001 cadillac that I love but the mileage isn’t anywhere near as nice with 15 in town and about 17 on the highway😂😂
I'm on my second one.
How can you tell if your rear end is leaking.
IDK, I’m selling mine
Nice Video!
