I'm here. Was just at the dealership this morning, would have liked to test drive a Zephyr, but the salesmen were all leaning on it, and that was just too much intimidation for me. Turned in my Navigator, lease was up, miles were gone. So, I'm Lincolnless at the moment. First time since 1992, no Lincoln in my garage. Anyway, I don't care for the Zephyr. I like that they sort of designed the dash like my Navigator, but they cheaped out in so many placed, including the damn PROP ROD for those who are listening at Ford, it just doesn't feel like a Lincoln used to, or should to me. It's too entry level for me, and too Fusion to be a Lincoln, IMO.

Hey NV,
 
So THAT's why you've been absent from the TC board! No more Lincolns! We miss you over there.
 
I'm visiting here because I need some opinions from the general readership. The wife and our offspring won't drive the Cartier and we need something that we all can drive - although it would primarily be mine. AND, I've always wanted a Mark.
 
I'm looking to sell the '88 Cartier and pick up a '98 MarkIII.
 
I'll listen to any advice on the III. Good? Bad? Smart? Dumb?

Hey beernut,
Go for the Mark!!! First, ask yourself what you want out a a driving machine. Luxury, power, looks, gadgets, you name it. Then see if the Mark fits the bill, and I think you already know the answer to that.!! Your only problem is going to be once the other family members drive it, you aren't going to get a turn again for a LONG time.!! Since you already owned a Lincoln, you will appreciate the differences and the improvements. And you can get a vintage, quality machine for a fraction of its' original cost. AS any proud Lincoln owner will tell you - go for the Mark VIII, hands down. It (admittedly like other cars, as well) is customizeable, and there is a large enough Lincoln Mark VIII community out here to help with any needs, problems or concerns. I won't get into my car this or my car that - you should just start out with your own personal reasons for buying one, just like we all did. Once hooked, you'll never regret the decision. Most Mark owners have one complaint, having to give up the car for any reason whatsoever. Happy motoring.

Thanks for the insight. The guy selling the one I want hasn't made a decision on what he will buy to replace it yet, so I'm still waiting. Getting anxious, though. When the call comes, I'm ready.

1994 Lincoln Mark VIII - Air Ride Problem/Solution? by sillylittleboy
Sep 25, 2006 (4:17 pm)

Okay... my '94 Mark VIII used to be really sweet many years ago, but a lot of miles and a bad accident with an uninsured motorist has left it now just a form of transportation. The inside still have all the frills.
 
You're all probably going to think I'm crazy and I must admit that I'm not real swift when it comes to cars, but I thought this might work and then someone who DOES know cars made the same suggestion.
 
What has happened is that the front end accident damaged the airline that went between the two compressors or the one compessor and the air bags (not sure if the configuration under there). The compessors still work and as far as I know the air bags are still good, but right now I've got a serious "Low Rider" that is only 2 inches off the ground.
 
It is impossible to find parts for this system, especially hoses. I'm also just trying to keep it running good for a few more months or so - CHEAPLY! I had thought that it might be possible to rig up a valve, perhaps similar to a tire valve, to the inlets for the missing/broken airline. Then if I simply air up my bags and leave them, then at least I'll be able to get around town in it.
 
Am I crazy? Does anyone have any reference material on where these inlets might be? This hose originally ran from under both front wheel wells and around the front of the vehicle.
 

 
Boy... it used to look REALLY nice. Noww it has a lavender hood...and rides 2 inches off the ground.
 
HELP! ANYONE!

Hi i'am new to this website. I read what you wrote i can't help you with that couse i have the same problem. I just wonted to know if someone answered you ?. Couse my mark 8 is also on the ground an i don't know why it was fine an then it was extra low. I don't know much but i know that to conversion kit is to much for me to buy right now. So i guess what i wont to know is did you find a way to get your car up without paying the price to fix it.

I have replaced the air ride system with regular suspension on two Mark VIII. The ride is still great and there is very little differce from air ride. It is much easier and less expensive also relatively trouble free. If you need any other information, let me know.

Need some help with 1997 Mark VIII by rickhj

I have a woman friend who bought a 1997 Lincoln Mark VIII in great shape at the end of last year from the estate of the original owner. It now has 68,000 miles but a computer malfunction caused the car to overheat and fried the engine. She doesn't want to spend the $6000 it would take to replace the engine. What is the best way to reach someone who would be interested in buying the car as is? All maintenance logs are available. Thanks very much. Rick
