#1764 of 1771 Re: WILL THERE BE A 2010 TOWN CAR? [gseterry] by euphonium Jun 04, 2009 (8:33 am)
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.

Replying to: mrlaw10 (Feb 20, 2009 12:03 pm) I just sold my 99 anniversary (executive series) T/C today.I was on my way to CT. to buy a 94 sig series for 1700 bucks.100K,a little rust on the back wheel well and a little rough passenger seat leather.Moonroof,landau carraige half roof.Pearl white.I much prefer the old body style Lincoln t/c's.I gave the new body style a 1 year test run.It's back to the real Lincoln t/c for this guy!I drove Limos in NYC metro area for 20 years in Lincolns and crown Vic's and Grand Marquis and they are well built mechanically speaking and I would not hesitate to by an older Lincoln for a minute.The fact that when I get in a LINCOLN T/C with any kind of mileage,be it in excess of 100k,or 70k or new,they all ride like they just left the showroom floor!

#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.
