1995 Lincoln Town Car Cartier Edition, 168,680 miles, V8 engine runs strong. Quiet and super smooth ride on new Michelin tires ($500 value). Power everything. This car was donated to a non-profit organization, so I'm afraid I don't know all the details of its history, but feel free to ask and I'll do my best. It's registered through June 2013 in California - and I believe it's always been a California car (San Jose area so great weather, no salt). I drove it about 90 miles to get it here to Davis, mostly on the freeway and found it extremely comfortable, quiet, powerful, and with a great sound system. The air suspension makes a soft rumble for 30 seconds when you first start the engine, then silent and cushy after that - I assume that's normal. The air pump/compressor was replaced at some point. The body is very straight with just minor issues here and there if you look closely, with the largest scratches on the front bumper (see picture). The paint needs polishing compound, is oxidized in places, especially on the roof. Interior is in great shape overall, especially the dash and the back seat which appears to be unused. Trunk is incredibly clean. All the main electrical bells and whistles work making for a luxurious ride, windows, door locks, mirrors, interior lights, dash lights and controls, radio, cassette, 10 CD changer in trunk. Known issues: There is a roughly 0.3 amp drain on the battery so the owner installed a battery switch on it making it easy to disconnect if you're not going to drive it daily. I'm no expert on these matters, but the other quirk which may be related is that the radio stays on when you turn off the ignition and pull the key out. Since the ignition is not supposed to power the radio when the key's out, my guess is that it's also powering some other things in the same position which it shouldn't be doing - so maybe just a new ignition switch will take care of it? The dash clock sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. The seat heaters apparently aren't working. Also the cruise control doesn't seem to come on, although I'm not certain that I'm turning it on correctly - just using the buttons on the steering wheel? The climate control appears to work and can be controlled from the steering wheel, however, it's not clear if the A/C is blowing cold or not ... it's been to cold here to tell! If the compressor isn't engaging, it may just need some freon to get it up to pressure and working again. The overhead is drooping in places and the driver's visor has some tears in it - needs a new cover.
