Congratulations on the purchase of your new Lincoln. The one thing I suggest you do to all cars upon purchase is to have all rubber products under the hood checked. This means hoses and belts. While you're at it checking the oil make sure you check the automatic transmission fluid as well or better yet change it and filter to give yourself a fresh start. I envy you I've yet to find a good older model Lincoln and I want.

I Second the suggestions to check all rubber parts under the hood and to change all fluids in the engine, transmission, & rear axle. For the engine, Mobil 1 Synthetic is recommended. For the transmission Mercon V, semi synthetic will go a long way, but it is expensive compared to the standard oil. The air filter element could be due as well.
If you want to preserve the life of those little power window motors, close the doors gently.
You made a very good buy on a very good Lincoln.

Thank you for the tips. I'm driving it daily and everything is good so far. I will have to check on one thing, the rear view mirror "shakes" a little when driving on the city, it's very stable on highway or a very smooth road, is there a bolt there to fasten it ? Have you had a similar problem ? So far this is the only minor issue and to be frank I have not had time to stop and take a detailed look at it. I really like the car and the features it has....

The adjustment on holding the RV mirror may require an Allen wrench is my guess.

I just did it, not even an allen wrench was required. I disassembled it and put it back together making sure it was really well assembled and you hear a "click" noise when it's properly installed. Done! The car is looking better every day taking care of these little things that the former older did not have the time or did not care to fix. Just waxing the car made a HUGE difference....

Your example is why I refused to sell my previous Town Car to a local cab company.

I don't blame you, euphonium...I would do the same...It's a pity the way some TCs are kept, even by some livery cab drivers. I agree!
Bravo!
Peace!<-AladdinSane<-  -

WILL THERE BE A 2010 TOWN CAR?

I have really enjoyed my Town Car Limited with Sunroof, is a 2005 model with 34,000 miles and is running like new. I am hoping that the car will be continued in to the 2010 model year but wondered if anyone has seen an official announcement regarding whether Lincoln is planning to continue this awesome car in to the next model year.

I hope there is a 2010 Town Car. The MKS is no Town Car replacement with its hard ride, vibrating steering wheel, and torque steer. But Ford needs to update the TC badly and maybe shrink it slightly to the size of a Cadillac DTS.
An aquaintance leased a new loaded AWD MKS and now he can't wait to get out of it. He can't stand its ride, though it's very pretty in all white. Told him to try Swapalease.com.
