Replying to: bremertong (May 22, 2009 9:05 pm) If I had your car, I'd drive it another 100,000 miles before buying a speculated down sized, shrunk TC replacement. At present you have a great car to drive and keep. Replies to this message: izaclown1 (Jun 04, 2009 5:35 am) dispencer2 (Jun 30, 2009 4:41 pm)

Replying to: bremertong (May 22, 2009 9:05 pm) Sorry for not being part of this newer group. My LTC is a 120K 99 from Florida and I drive it every day 71 miles round trip to work at the Detroit Metro Airport. Without blogging on and on, let me say I just plain LOVE my TC. It (or I maybe) is going to have to die before I could part with it. Now about a NEW 2010 TC? Obviously I live in the Detroit area and have passed through FORD Home Country every day these past 8 years. Heading in to work at 5am - 5 days a week I get to see some interesting rides out on the local E/ways being tested by Ford folks. Some in the total darkness illuminated by the street lights or faint early dawn. I can also say I have seen about every new Blue Oval model at least 2 to 5 months prior to release or anouncement going through its paces. Sorry to say I have NOT seen anything to even suggest a continuation of our LTC. Then again, when you have it PERFECT already you may not need to road test a NEW one. There may be a 2010 after all.......? I have now seen (1st time was this morning) this new Lincoln "Q" ship the MK-T?? A bit too much like an SUV but still very nice in all Black and Medium Blue/Gray, the 2 I saw in todays "Dawn's Early Light". Nothing like a Ford Flex either. Looks very unique to Lincoln. My only issue with the past few years in the Lincoln lines is the grille. Too big. Too gaudy. Looking too much more and more like some Cartoon Character. Reminds me of the recent Ford 500's. They had a very neat almost retro grille. Looked just right. Now its a Taurus again and the Ford Line Corporate Signiture 3 wide bar grille just cheapens its look. I left the showroom without buying.

Replying to: gseterry (Jun 04, 2009 3:46 am) Let us know when Lincoln puts in a Lincoln engine (5.4L) followed by a 6 speed AOD. The present 12 year old body and frame needs IRS so as to grab me.   I have always resented driving a TC with a CV Ford engine & only a 4 speed AOD.

Replying to: euphonium (Jun 04, 2009 8:33 am) Let us know when Lincoln puts in a Lincoln engine (5.4L) followed by a 6 speed AOD.   The TC will get this about the same time that the devil's residence has a fresh blanket of snow.   I am amazed at the loyal following the TC still has. It is really too bad that the car was not updated a few years ago. Updating the body using the long wheelbase version with shortened overhangs, the engine/transmission combination that you mention, and the availability of the techology found on other Lincoln models might have kept the old girl relevant awhile longer.
#1766 of 1771 95 Cartier by gortiz3 Jun 13, 2009 (4:11 pm)
Sup Guys! Looks like we all have some good tastes around here when it comes to luxurious horsepower anyway there is a 1995 Lincoln Towncar Cartier I am looking to buy. Currently the odometer reads around 209,xxx miles. The paint is still a light tan glossy and the interior white leather shows some wear and tear, not too much. It even comes with a sunroof which works fine. All matching hubcaps, good tire tread (70%), AC and heater, power seats and all windows except one work. The price tag was originally $1900, but has been dropped to $1300.    What concerns me is the acceleration. I'll gas it lightly and it'll take somewhat of a while to speed up. The first gear hits around 14-18 mph. Then I feel another at 26-28 mph. They are quick and you feel the pull. On my brother's 91 TC (160K miles) the gear shifts are smooth and you have to feel for them though. Also the engine's rpm (the 95 TC) will shoot up for some time before 3rd gear comes in then it levels off. Upwards 50mph+ its good. The lady claims her husband took care of it regularly. Is it wear and tear or is it something more simple? any help is appreciated. I need some wheels for work.

Replying to: euphonium (May 23, 2009 11:56 am) 100,000 miles is nothing. I rode recently in a livery company Town Car out of Newark airport to Morris Plains and the car rode silently and comfortably. It was an 02 with 290,000 miles. The car I rode in back to the airport was an 05 with 200,000 miles. The driver expected that the company would keep the cars for several more years. They just follow the factory recommended maintenance schedule -oil changes at 3,000 miles etc. I want to tell you - these cars felt like new ones. Even the leather looked and felt good. I have an 03 DeVille and when I get another car next year I'm really toying with the idea of getting a year or so old Town Car. I really don't like the looks of the new DTS and you can't beat the dependability of a Town Car judging from the livery ones around NY.

#1770 of 1771 TOWN CAR WILL BE BACK IN 2010! by bremertong Jun 30, 2009 (7:36 pm)
I spoke with someone at Lincoln customer relations earlier today and was told that there would be a 2010 Town Car. The person did not have details but said there would be some changes.   I was at the local dealership recently and some of the sales people felt that the MK series by it self would leave Lincoln with a less than stellar line up. The feeling about the MK cars is that they do not meet the needs that the typical Town Car buyer is looking for (myself included).   The Lincoln rep. also stated that one of the major reasons for bringing the car back in 2010 was the the loyalty and demand of current owners and other interest in the car.
