Lincoln Mark Series Base on 2040-cars
Fayetteville, North Carolina, United States
Very nice Mark IV: * 83.5k well documented miles * 1 owner until 2012 (now 2) * nice repaint 2yrs ago due primarily to oxidation * excellent interior, original floor mats, dash/carpet/seats excellent * new: tires (3k?), valve seals, radiator, hoses, belts, coil, starter (high torque), stereo (have original), window motors (2 front), hood hinges, spark plugs, wires, valve cover gaskets, replaced ac compressor (blows cold, R12), universal joints, probably others I'm forgetting; new water pump, edelbrock carb works great (original versions kept leaking as they are prone to do). Car starts right up after sitting for weeks even when 30 deg. * transmission professionally serviced with new seals * runs strong; driven 9k since 2012; 500 miles in last month * local tax value $8.2k after inspection * neg - horn and a/c compressor are on separate switches on dash (discretely located underneath); no cruise; back left window needs gear (only moves 1.5 in horizontally when functional anyway), small rust bubbles by front wheel wells -not noticeable from 10 ft and easy fix (recent), small dent in corner of roof, power lock works on passenger side only; * brake components they work great. However the antiquated sure-trak (like a 1974 ABS - best avoided) seems to be non-functional and the brake dash light is on for that reason. Currently taped over and unnoticeable. So they function like normal disk/front drum/back brakes. * It seems as if the car has gotten a hair louder in the last week. There may be a slight exhaust leak.

Lincoln MKX Concept announces impending launch in China
Sun, 20 Apr 2014Lincoln has finally dropped the details on the MKX Concept after a few days of teasing. Set for a very important global debut at the 2014 Beijing Motor Show, we're going to have to see this conceptualized version of the third-generation MKX in person before we can draw any real conclusions on the effectiveness of its design.
One of the things Lincoln will need to do to succeed is deliver something to customers that's unique to the brand's vehicles, which are exclusively rebadged models from parent company Ford. We're not sure this is going to be distinctive enough.
Unlike its last new vehicle, the Navigator, the work done on the MKX is smooth and refined. The stance of the vehicle, with its 21-inch wheels, is aggressive enough. Viewed from the profile, the overhangs appear rather short, while character lines keep it from looking slabsided. In front, we might be witnessing the cleanest interpretation yet of Lincoln's twin grilles. The headlights are slim and stylish, and we're digging the shape and style of the mirrors, which feature integrated turn signals that outline the mirror cap.
Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes
Thu, 10 May 2012When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.
Lincoln dealers frustrated over slow MKZ production ramp-up
Tue, 12 Feb 2013Lincoln has clearly been working hard to get the word out about its 2013 MKZ sedan. The Dearborn automaker has taken out lavish spreads to trumpet its boldly styled new model in magazines of every description, along with placing commercials for both the vehicle and the reborn brand behind it on all manner of television programs, including the super-costly Super Bowl earlier this month.
Pity, then, that Lincoln dealers don't have enough MKZs to sell. According to The Detroit News, parent company Ford has spent a good portion of its time at this week's National Automobile Dealers Association meeting in Florida attempting to pacify upset dealers who don't have enough examples of the pivotal new vehicle in stock.
As the DetNews notes, Lincoln only sold 453 MKZs last month, a whopping 73-percent decrease over the same period last year when the sedan's predecessor was on sale. In fact, the stunted supply had enough impact that Lincoln's January figures worked out to a 32-year low for the brand, just as it's trying to get back on its feet. This, despite the fact that the MKZ is said to have the biggest number of pre-orders in the marque's history.
