#512 of 1804 Lincoln going out of business? FALSE!!! by johnnylinc

Apr 02, 2002 (11:00 am)

Joker2108: Lincoln is absolutely, positively, unequivocally NOT going out of business. No way, no how, period. Maybe your limo-owner friends wouldn't lie to you, but they certainly don't know what they're talking about--they are wrong, wrong, wrong.
 
At this very moment, at the New York Auto Show, the 2003 Lincoln Town Car, Navigator, and Aviator are on display, as are a 2003 Town Car limo built by Picasso Coach and a high-performance version of the Lincoln LS produced by McLaren. Lincoln is here to stay.

#513 of 1804 to gdblake: about air bag by txli

try http://www.arnottindustries.com/. I ordered one air bag (about $100 including shipping) for my 94 TC last week. It is new one with 36K miles warranty. I will install it this weekend. I think it is the cheapest new one I could find.
Good luck.

FWIW, if Ford did kill off Lincoln, it wouldn't be any quicker or unexpected than how fast they killed off the T-Bird. T-Bird engineers already had the '98's ready to go into production when word came from on high '97 would be the last year. I can't beleive, however, the Twon Car is the only thing selling. With cars like the Navigator and the LS, Lincoln has got to be moving a lot more cars than Mercury, and Ford is currently pouring so many resources into Mercury that there's no way they will kill it in the forseeable future, so I kinda think Lincoln is safe.

Am I understanding what you wrote? You are saying that since there are 2003 models back in NY that Lincoln is here to say. Oldsmobile went out and they are still trying to hang on with limted models and production. I am going to call Lincoln and find out. This he said she said stuff is driving me nuts.

You asked:
"IS it true that Lincoln will stop all productions end of this year?"

I replied:
"Lincoln is absolutely, positively, unequivocally NOT going out of business. No way, no how, period."

Let me see if I can be more clear: No, Lincoln is NOT stopping "productions" at the end of this year. Have you seen any credible, verifiable information anywhere that would suggest otherwise? Is this even being hinted at by any reputable automobile magazine or writer, or by any source other than 2 limo owners that you know?

I don't understand why you bothered to post your question here if you're not going to believe the answers you've gotten, but I suppose that's your prerogative.

If you want to contact Lincoln directly, I urge you to do so. Lincoln's Customer Assistance Center number is 1-800-521-4140. If you go to the Lincoln website at http://www.lincolnvehicles.com and click on the "Contact us" link, you can verify this phone number and also get a mailing address should you wish to write.

Once again, in answer to your question, Lincoln is NOT going out of business!

#517 of 1804 Advice? Purchase 1997 with 90K Miles. by rory2

Apr 07, 2002 (6:22 pm)

I am considering purchasing a 1997 Executive with 90K miles. Please advise of most likely repair/maintenance, items/cost that I will probably be confronted with. I want to budget a reserve amount sufficent for repairs so that I have no negative surprises.
Thank you in advance.

The entire Ford Motor Company is going out of business, effective immeadiately. Starting tomorrow, Chevrolet will be making Mustangs. Lexus will get the Town Car, and Honda will take over production of F-150 trucks. Thunderbirds go to Dodge, and the Cougar will now be made by Acura.
William Clay Ford will now be the CEO of Mrs. Baird's Bread company, and Jacques Nasser is currently hiding out from blue oval faithful somewhere in the Phillipines.
 
Have a nice day.

#519 of 1804 Thank you Kinley! by txli

Apr 08, 2002 (8:54 am)

I like to thank you, Kinley. I checked the rear axle lube fluid by myself. It was empty. I did not see foam or fluid. I added some gear lube ( 80w-90). Hope that will do it. I hope that every one with 70K mile TC has to get it checked.
I also change one of my rear air bags last weekend. It was not too difficult. It took me about 1 1/2 hours.

#520 of 1804 rory2: Plan on spending up to $1,500.00 in the next 15,000 miles. by kinley

Check axle fluid now. Plan on a set of plug wires. Is the front end squeeking yet? The factory sealed joints cost about $200 to replace. Up to 97,000 miles our TC was fine, but nothing goes forever w/o maintenance of replacing worn parts. Good Luck.

#521 of 1804 kinley: about front end squeeking by txli

Apr 08, 2002 (4:03 pm)

TC 94, 73K. There is a little squeeking when I turn steer during my parking. I just wonder if I need to add grease at ball joint or has to replace the rubber cover also, or any other area I need to add grease.
For the rear axle fluid, I did add more gear lube at differential. Any other place?
Thanks
