For nearly 40 years, the Town Car has been Lincoln's flagship sedan. In 2003, the car received the most extensive reengineering to date. This latest model is now safer, quieter and more luxurious than ever before. If you park this Town Car next to a brand new 2011 model, you will hardly see any difference as very few changes were made in the past 8 years. The Town Car benefits from the highest owner loyalty in the luxury car segment, with 60 percent repeat buyers. The 2003 model incorporated many changes and upgrades that customers had desired in previous years, such as the return of the stand-up hood ornament and significantly improved cabin storage space. Costing a fraction of other cars in this class including BMW 7 Series, Lexus LS 430 and Mercedes S-Class, the 2003 Town Car's value quickly stands out. New standard equipment for all 2003 models includes dual-zone climate control with heat and air conditioning vents for rear passengers, 17-inch alloy wheels, an analog clock for the dashboard, remote keyless entry with a power trunk pull-down feature, power-adjustable brake and accelerator pedals, an eight-way power driver seat and automatic headlamps that turn themselves on at dusk or when the wipers are activated. With the average car's lifespan being about a dozen years and the attrition rate often accelerated by careless, second-hand owners, it'd be a nice surprise to find a one owner example of the species that, despite being 8 years old, still shines and sparkles like a brand new-model. The most likely place to unearth such a rare gem would be Southern California, with its mild climate and large number of affluent, luxury car enthusiasts. Such an amazing find is the miraculously well-preserved car presented for auction here! This Town Car was purchased new at Santa Monica Lincoln Mercury for over $46,000 by a mature couple living in the affluent suburbs of Marina Del Ray, CA. They drove the car less than 6,000 miles per year and treated it like their one and only child. The result is a luxury sedan that was always garaged; meticulously maintained and has never left the Golden State. Let’s take a closer look now. Exterior: Finished in the most elegant color combination; Silver with Gray leather interior, this fully loaded Signature Series is a cut above the rest. After nearly a decade on the road, most cars have become rusty, faded and damaged. In reality, an immaculate, garaged, rust free body and finish with a couple VERY MINOR blemishes is a very rare and highly desirable trait of any decade-old automobile! With the exception of refinished bumpers and one minor repair on the right side from a parking lot mishap, the finish is 100% factory original. In reality, a clean, original finish with a couple MINOR cosmetic repairs is a very rare and highly desirable trait of any 8-year-old car! In this case, what lies beyond the shiny exterior speaks volumes about the loving care this Lincoln has always received and underscores the car's Southern California provenance. Surveying straight and smooth coachwork, we marvel at how well the finish was preserved over the years. 4 New Michelins were recently installed and the 17” alloy wheels still have amazing detail. Speaking of detail, let us stress how straight the body is, how glossy the paint: if you wouldn't know differently, you'd think to be looking at an 8-month old, not an 8-year old car. This one is that clean! We'll inspect the interior next, shall we? This Town Car has the Signature trim which includes a leather-and-wood-trimmed steering wheel, upgraded leather upholstery and deep-pile carpeting, a memory system that retains seat and mirror settings for up to two different drivers, heated front seats, a parking assist system and rain-sensing wipers. The Town car has gargantuan interior dimensions and can transport 6 adult passengers to their destination silently and comfortably. Everything from the carpet to the headliner appears untouched. For 2003 models, designers increased interior storage space by 44 percent, thanks to a larger glovebox, new door-panel armrest bins, larger map pockets, redesigned cupholders and a new center console that opens from both the driver and passenger sides for easy access. Legroom is also increased, thanks to 1.5 additional inches of front seat track travel; taking into account the standard adjustable brake and accelerator pedals, this Town Car is designed to fit almost any driver. Also, restyled front seatbacks net half an inch more rear seat legroom. Soft-touch materials are improved for 2003, with a new milled-pebble texture. The interior is accented with wood grain and satin-nickel trim. Heading up the list of Town Car safety features is the Personal Safety System, which is comprised of dual-stage front airbags, seat-mounted side airbags, three-point seatbelts for all outboard seating positions and a BeltMinder chime that regularly reminds occupants to buckle up. LATCH child seat anchors are included along with a new 5-mph bumper system. Also new is standard traction control and power-adjustable pedals. By allowing the pedals to move relative to the driver, proper positioning from the steering wheel can be obtained. Always garaged and never smoked in, the supple, leather seats are still soft, the carpet appears untouched. The luxurious cabin has extensive room and styling with comfortable seating for six large adults. The seats are firm and supportive with plenty of head and leg room fore and aft. 8-way power AND HEATED seats are included for both driver and passenger. An integrated, three-channel garage door opener, travel computer and auto-dimming mirror. Audio, A/C and cruise controls adjustments are on the steering wheel. The Alpine Audio system with 6-Disk CD guarantees pleasurable audio, even when traveling at speeds well above the double nickel. And the miles actual. The factory gauges all work flawlessly in this wood trimmed and satin nickel dash. Elegant. The original leather pouch contains all original service books, Owner's Guide and door-lock combination card. Both keys with remotes are included. Everything looks, smells and feels as if the car was delivered yesterday, not 8 years ago. The spacious trunk is one of the largest in the luxury car class (20.6 cubic feet) and contains all the important bits… …spare wheel/tire, jack & lug wrench and 6 dick CD changer. A picture says more than a thousand words: this Lincoln’s trunk is clean! Engine & Mechanical: The engine compartment is all original, factory-correct, down to the decals and markings. This Town Cars is powered by a 4.6-liter V8 making 235 horsepower and 275 pound-feet of torque driving the rear wheels. The V-8 engine always runs cool with no oil leaks and when properly maintained, can be driven well over 250,000 without needing major work. The oil was religiously changed and no wear item has EVER been left unattended. As a result, this Town Car is mechanically as strong as it is cosmetically. Yes, any Lincoln can be a very tough and reliable automobile with a bit of preventative maintenance! This Town Car’s Driving Impressions: Thanks to the engineering enhancements made for 2003, the Town Car has no peer when it comes to transporting large (or large numbers) of people down the highway in comfort and silence. Ample thrust is provided by the V8 with four-speed automatic transmission and with the engineering changes to the frame, suspension and steering, the 2003 version is more responsive, quieter and more stable on the road than previous Town Cars. All-speed traction control is standard, as is four-wheel ABS with electronic brake force distribution and brake assist technology, which applies full braking power in a panic stop. With brand new battery, the powerful, V8 engine starts every time, idles, revs and pulls effortlessly without unusual noises or hesitation and accelerates strong and smooth leaving no smoke in your rear-view mirror. Power steering is precise and the disc brakes anchor the car securely, in a straight line, and without any hint of fading. The automatic transmission shifts seamlessly. With newer, Michelin Radials on 17” alloys; handling and braking are surprisingly superb with no rattles, shakes, shimmies or pulls. All in all, this Lincoln is a joy to drive! With only 45,847 meticulously maintained miles, This Town Car is perfectly reliable and ready to be driven anywhere, even across the Country, if that's where you live. Finally, with an original MSRP of nearly $47,000, the 2004 Town Car has reached the bottom-end of the depreciation curve; a perfect time to buy. Being among of the best of the breed, this Signature Series has fantastic appreciation potential and can easily serve as a reliable daily driver. There's but one stumbling block on the way to Town Car Heaven: Clean, garaged, one owner, meticulously maintained examples are getting very hard to find. All the more reason to watch this one closely... Bidders Please Note: Presently, we have a clear, California Title. CA license and registration expires July, 2011.
