This is a 2001 Lincoln Town Car, Signature series. Silver exterior paint (factory silver) and the rare dark charcoal black interior. All leather seats. Titanium top level wheels. The two front tires are only about 4 months old, the back tires are in good shape. Full size spare in trunk in great shape. I replaced the entire rear end differential about 6 months ago with one that had about 80K miles on it. It has been fine. I had the upper manifold assembly on the top of the engine changed about 8 months ago. Working factory 6 CD Changer in trunk. Brakes and front rotors changed recently. New battery installed a few months ago. No leaks. Doesn't blow oil (smoke). This has been a great dependable car for me for the past 3 1/2 years. It has high mileage 380K (mostly highway) but I have taken great car of it along the way fixing most anything and everything as it was needed. It has been a great running car. No accidents and no body damage. Non-smoking driver. I am selling this vehicle AS IS because there is an issue with the transmission that will need to be fixed if you plan to keep the car and drive it. The overdrive gear has stopped working. I looked into it and there are locally available transmissions from local junkyards for about $275-350 that will fit this car fine plus the labor to put it in. If you have a local shop, it's a pretty inexpensive repair to get the car fully operational and back running on the road in great condition. Like I said earlier, the engine is strong and runs great. This car is drivable but it really needs to have the transmission replaced or repaired as a priority. This is really just a great car for parts if you are looking in that direction. The wheels alone are worth quite a bit. All the body panels are in fine shape with no dents. The car is drivable, but is not going to be good for any kind of highway trip. You would best bring a flatbed or arrange for some type of car carrier or auto transport, unless you live close to the Washington DC area. Please don't make and offer or bid on this car if you are not a serious buyer, have less than 5 ratings (all positive) and are not within 250 miles of McLean, VA.
