1997 Lincoln Town Car Stretch Limo Limousine on 2040-cars
Normal, Illinois, United States
|
This limo was purchased for a weeklong bachelor party last month. I searched high and low for an older limousine that had a good engine that could hold 10-11 people. I found this one on the north side of Chicago, donated to a church by a man who originally wanted to ship it to Romania. We put 500 miles on the car with 11 people in it, no problem. Tires, brakes, transmission, engine, steering all work as they should. Not sure about the engine history but it's very clean and appears to have some work done to it recently as several parts look very new (see pictures). I have a clear Illinois title in hand, although I did find some rebuilt history in another state when looking up the VIN. Interior is in good shape, power windows, power locks, power sunroof all work. Air and heat work. The car came from California so rust is not an issue. Send along any questions and I'll answer them honestly and quickly. If you're looking for a cheaper good running old limo, you found it. Car is currently located in Bloomington, IL but I would consider delivering within 200 miles.
EDIT: eBay is making me list this car as having a salvage title. It looks like from the vehicle history this car has been issued a salvage and rebuilt title quite a few years ago. It also looks like this car has been roadworthy for some years now. I'm afraid I don't have much more information than this, and the church I purchased it from didn't have any knowledge of the car's history other than it being purchased and shipped from California to Illinois last fall. The title I have in hand is a clear Illinois title. On Jun-09-14 at 13:55:27 PDT, seller added the following information: I encourage anyone interested to message me with any questions or concerns. I have a couple walkaround videos of the vehicle as well. I'd be happy to provide any information I can. |

Lincoln bringing in MKZ Hybrid over rollaway risk
Mon, 30 Dec 2013Federal safety standards require that every new car needs to have the brake depressed in order to shift it out of Park. But the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has found fault in the transmission range sensor on certain examples of the Lincoln MKZ Hybrid, allowing the car to be shifted out of Park without first depressing the brake. The fear is that with this condition, affected vehicles may be unintentionally pulled out of Park, resulting in a possible rollaway. That safety concern has prompted parent Ford Motor Company to issue a recall.
The issue pertains to 7,153 examples of the MKZ Hybrid built between April 26, 2012 and September 24, 2013, covering the 2013 and 2014 model years. As a result, Ford will notify owners to bring their MKZs into their local Lincoln dealer to have the Powertrain Control Module software updated in order to rectify the problem. See the full recall notice below for details.
Lincoln to resurrect old nameplates for China?
Wed, 04 Dec 2013Judging by the success that many luxury automakers are currently experiencing in China, it's no surprise that Lincoln plans to take advantage of the situation by peddling its wares across the Pacific. Lincoln will open its first Chinese dealership next year, but potential buyers there won't be mucking through the same alphabet soup of car names found in American showrooms. USA Today reports that Ford's luxury car division could revert back to legacy names (like Continental and Zephyr) in China while keeping the MK_ names here in North America.
In speaking to Ford exec Jim Farley during the LA Auto Show, USA Today says that Lincoln could switch its naming structure as models are refreshed. Farley didn't confirm that the naming revamp would be a China-only decision, but article leaves little hope that American buyers will get to see the return of classic names anytime soon.
Why would Ford rehash old Lincoln names for China only? Buyers there seem to have a better historical associations with the nameplates than in the US. Chinese also still hold Lincoln in high regard, associating the marque with use by prominent government officials.
2015 Ford F-150 named Truck of Texas, Lincoln and Jeep also awarded at Truck Rodeo
Tue, 14 Oct 2014The Ford Motor Company has a lot of reasons to celebrate after winning eight categories in this year's Texas Auto Writers Association's annual Truck Rodeo. Most important among them, the Blue Oval's latest 2015 Ford F-150 earned the prestigious Truck of Texas award, ending the Ram 1500's two-year winning streak. The 2015 Lincoln MKC also grabbed the honor as the CUV of Texas, and Ford was named Truck Line of Texas.
FoMoCo even took trophies for best technology with its extensive use of aluminum on its latest F-Series and best commercial vehicle for the new Transit 250. It wasn't a total sweep, though, because the Jeep Grand Cherokee grabbed the title of the SUV of Texas for the fifth straight time.
This year's event put 60 auto writers in 75 pickups, SUVs and crossovers and challenged them to find the best in a plethora of categories. All of the winners are listed below, and scroll down to read the full announcements from the Texas Auto Writers Association and Ford.
