This car has been a lemon from the day
I purchased it! New airconditioner,
new heads, new air shocks, new hood
shocks, and the list goes on and on! I
would never buy another Lincoln!

Anything that could go wrong did go
wrong. From transmission to
suspension. Three alternators, two
starters, A/C system, all four door
locks, window switches, cassette
player. If you want to throw away money
then this car is for you.
Headache to own

Despite some expensive repairs to the
gas/air suspension and the head
gasket, aside from these reliability
problems, this car is flawless.
Although no sport sedan, it handles
quickly and responsively. Steering is
a bit numb, but the ride is
astonishing - riding, literally and
figuratively, on air. And despite
first opinions based on the ride
comfort, it still has plenty of grip
to go around when needed. And it's
comfortable, large interior includes
automatic just about everything to
make your drive that much easier.
Bravo!
Expensive to keep.

Nice car when it is running. I have
replaced air shock and air pump, head
gasket, air conditioning, and brake
booster.
Never again

Ok, I've owned 2 Continentals. My first
was a 1990 and 2nd (which was a
mistake)was a 1992. On the first one
the air ride went out on it, so I
replaced it with normal shocks($1500).
Then the radiator went and put a rod
knock in the engine. So I got a new one
and know the C/v axles are going on this
one and the rear shocks. The
transmission is shot and the calipers
are frossen. So I'll never buy a
1990-1994 Continental again.
Ok

As a imports mechanic, i get used to
fixing or driving lexues, acuras, and
etc. i recently brought this car
because of the price. $1,100 because
the front strut where missing and the
owner could not afford to fix it. So
after fixing the struts costing me
about $800 total. after driving the car
for 100 miles, the coolant started to
leak like crazy. The oil is starting to
leak, and the switch for the windsheild
washer fluid shorted. i am not planing
to keep this car, any longer. it cost
more to maintain then the price of the
car. Besides all the stuff above, this
car gives you a great ride for a long
trip, or just a ride in the city. it
has great insullation.
Smooth ride, but costly repair

Replaced all 4 air suspensions, the
cluster, radio cassette, AC control,
all gaskets... Once, all transmission
fluid leaked out while driving!
Sorry, I am telling the truth.
It still runs well (with my free labor
and time; I cannot charge my wife!) and
I still keep it.
I also had a 96 Lincoln Mark VIII
bought at 79120 miles, transmission
broken down at 79185 miles, the dealer
said, "once you drove it out of out
lot...", had to replace another one
($2700), hundred of things happened
before trading it back at 91 K miles. I
would sin if I sold it to another
victim of it.

Always thought that a luxury car
should at least be competitive in
reliability, but I've never owned a
more problematic car
It is all about the air.
