I bought this cream put for the tiny sum of 1600 bucks. it had 130k miles. i took her for an hour test drive and just couldn't find any reason not to buy. i had her for 2 or 3 years and sold her for 1200 bucks to some lucky stiff. first off, the paint and leather are top quality. the v8 was fast for this type of car. if i wasn't careful i was doing 95 on the highway. all i can say is that i had no major repairs at all and she was like driving your living room couch. nice. the gas mileage was great for such a big car as i normally got 27 mpg on the highway and i was doing 80. Now, there are some lil issues to watch out for: DOOR AJAR code - this can be fixed by spraying air into the rear door latches. it works for a month or two and then you had to spray again. a minor inconvenience. i kept my spray bottle under the seat. BATTREY - strange, but if your battery is nearing its life on this car, weird things happen. for me i got a steering fault. i desalt with it for a while because the car started fine. i read about this online and someone said that old batteries do not mix well. the next day i bought a new battery and i never had the issue again. AIR SUSPENSION - every morning the rear would sit low. it would pump up fine though and work all day. i bought a bag online for i think like 80 bucks as i suspected one bag of being leaky. ill tell you what, i couldn't believe how easy it was to swap. no joke, i just jacked her up popped the old one out with a ratchet and new one in. it was a 25 minute job. i really couldn't believe it. I have to say, for the money you can't go wrong. such a nice ride and safe too. i see em all the time from 98-02 with 70-120k miles for 2-3k. you just can't beat the value.

Comfortable and classy

For a 15 year old car, she still gets around quite well. I bought mine with a salvage title with 42k miles. Have put over 15k on it so far and have had no mechanical problems other than one instance of a mysterious loss of power. Despite this hiccup, the only problems I've had so far are cosmetic damage associated with having a 10+ year old car. My only complaints would be poor fuel economy and turning dynamics. It's a big car with a big engine, so I expect to pay a lot for gas though. Due to it's size, it doesn't take turns well. Your rear passengers may go for a ride if you take them too sharply. Overall, it's been a great car and I've enjoyed owning it.

This is my second Lincoln, Gave the first one to my son who still drives it with no problems. I liked it so much I bought another one for myself. First time I ever purchased 2 of the same types of vehicles. I have nothing negative to say about them

This car is my first car, and i love it. Being almost 7 feet tall, this car is the perfect size for me. The trunk space is mafia style (3 dead bodies)! It has a few issues like the airbag light that keeps coming on. Its actually easy enough to parallel park, suprisingly.

You gotta get one or two

I brought this brute used and it was going to be the long trip car only. Well guess what, it is my everyday driver. The features on this car rival all the so called new tech opts even on the 6 figure imports. The best feature is the selectable rear susp and steering level. Wow! Only Lincoln drivers know what I'm talking about. The steering wheel mounted controls for HVAC fan speed, temp, radio and cruise..all the things you need to keep any button pushing techy stoned with amazement and awe for years. I have been on Ohio's northern snow highways and others spun while I run. When summer hits the clean paint and chrome blinds the sun.

Love My Linc

I bought the car 2 years old with mileage in the high 30's to replace my ailing Buick. I have never been sorry for a minute that bought this car, it was way ahead of it's time technologically and my now 8 year old car with 153K miles on it under my foot still put most to shame.

Great Car

190,000 miles and still moving. Only problem was the transmission went at 99K. Other than that, it has been super reliable. I think it will go 250,000 or more.

Purchased at at 56,000 miles and now at 77,000. Excellent ride quality (NY potholes become laughable), ride comfort (drove 250mi. to NY and back to PA numerous times without stopping), no service issues whatsoever, vast array of interior features (except cupholders, I have spilled a few drinks in a turn or quick stop), solid frame (no weird noises and doors close solidly), great Alpine system. I love the straight line acceleration from a stop and on highways but forget about any white knuckle excursions around back roads. Over-the-top interior and trunk space (I've seated 4 fully grown adults in the back seat). 2 negatives: fuel consumption and fun factor

Feeling like a millionaire on wheels

I had never so much trust in second hand cars after some negative experiences. But since I bought this Continental that has changed. The car feels very solid, safe and is very luxurious. Even for a car now almost 7 years old, this feels as a brand new, up to date car with all the toys of todays favorites. It is very powerful, has great brakes and handles good in bad weather. It is spacious and lets you feel that you are in control. It runs 23 miles on the gallon on the parkway at 80 miles an hour, with a 4.7 liter motor. And the audio quality is downright perfect.

This is a beautiful car. It is silver with a navy cloth top and gray interior. It has all the extras avilable including a five disk cd player. This car was pampered, always garage kept.

Lincoln has been good to me. My first one was a 93 Mark VIII. I had the car for 6 years and it was a fun and unique car. Unfortunately it got wrecked. Such is life. I have a family now with 2 kids so I needed a sedan anyway. The Continental is a fun drive for a sedan. It's interior ameneties are good and it is a comfortable ride for both short and long trips. The exterior lacks the pizzaz of the Mark but it is still a pretty car. I've put 18,000 miles on it in 6 months without a single service issue.

I purchased this vehicle about one year ago. I love the way this car handles on the hwy. Though it's on the large side it handles like a smaller car but rides like a big car. Visibility is good all around. All the creature comforts are included. I have had absolutely no problems with this car as of now. Gas mileage is ok, I get 28 mpg hwy. / 16 mpg city. Maintenance expenses so far were for per oil changes $25.00 dealer & 30,000 mi scheduled service which includes, transmission & engine oil, fuel injector cleaning, air intake & cabin filters, engine coolant flush, tire rotation & wheel alignment for just under $600.00.

Fortunately, this car came with a 4 yr/50K warranty. Under warranty, the following items have been repaired and/or replaced: windshield, A/C, Powertrain Control Module, battery, door keypad, top of trunk upholstery. On three occasions, I have had to use a rental car since my Continental was not available due to: no start, trunk popping open randomly, and A/C inoperative. I sincerely hope my experience isn't typical of all Continental owners. I will say that it is a very pleasant car to drive on trips when it happens to be running OK.

nice car

great style,powerful engine,lots of room. nice to have those side airbags just in case.I still have my 1994 cont. The 2000 model is even better but I like the air shocks all around on the 1994 until I had to replace the rear ones at 130,000 miles.

Love this car

I leased my car when the 2000 models first came out. After having car for the first 3 months I thought that I have finally found a car that had all that I wanted. Size, Sport feel, comfort and all the toys a man could ask for, mine was loaded with everything. When I was ready to trade it in for a 2003 model was told they are not going to be making them any more I was furious. I see so many of them on the road don't understand why? Was told to replace it with LS, no way. So I bought the car but when it comes time to replace it I will go to Cadillac for they are the other luxury front wheel drive car. I love the car.

I purchased a 2000 Continental in April of this year. Considering this vehicle is more than a foot shorter than the Town Car I traded in and a few inches less in width, the trunk is huge! Gas milage is better. Parking is easier, and the performance is outstanding. I've had several people stop me in parking lots to admire my car and ask me questions about it. I've had no problems with my Continental whatsoever.

DRIVABILITY IS COMFORTABLE AND QUIET. CONNIE ALWAYS FEELS IN CONTROL. LOTS OF POWER-ETC IS AN ESSENTIAL FEATURE. CONTROLS ARE LOCATED WELL. INSTRUMENT LIGHTING IS DIM IN DAYLIGHT W/HEADLIGHTS. COMPUTER SYSTEM AND DRIVER IDENTITY FOR SETTINGS/READOUTS IS GREAT. STYLING IS OK--CAR IS NOT VERY DISTINCTIVE--APPEARANCE OVERALL RESEMBLES A FORD CROWN VIC.

I have always had full sized luxury cars. this one is by far the best Lincoln yet. I love the controls on the steering wheel( cuts down on distractions!) I love being able to choose, ride steering and overall handling of the car. I also regret that this is the last year for such a fine automobile. and the excellent service is great.

This car is my second third Continental. Reliability is great. Dealer service is abobe average. This car has a powerful V8. If you can keep your speed at around 70 on a trip, the fuel economy will be 27 or 28 mpg. It is a real shame that 2002 is the last year of this fine automobile.
