Reliable Comfort

I’ve had this car for years. It has 212,000 miles and still runs fantastic. Air ride and squishy seats make road trips effortless and comfortable. With 275hp all aluminum V8 highway cruising and hills are no problem. I installed an aftermarket alpine stereo to get better tuning ability for the factory amp and speakers and what a difference. This car came with some great stuff .

Stumbled into a great car!

I'm a Ford guy. I have a 2005 Grand Marquis ls anniversary. Big fan of the 4.6. I bought the 2002 off of Facebook marketplace, sight unseen. 64k miles and all the options. The car was way before it's time. The power of the DOHC and the comfort of the interior ... If you can find one that has low mileage, buy it. It's a fantastic car. What a shame they quit making it..... I've put about 2k miles on it and love every mile. What a deal they are now if you can find one. MB 350's and 5 series BMW's beware.... I'll be listening to my Alpine stereo whilst I blow you away from the stop light!!

Great Classic American Luxury Car

Roomy, comfortable and quiet, nicely equipped and smoothly powerful luxury car. Exhaust is fun to listen to. Decent on gas, especially for the size of motor. A few issues. Electronic ride control system had to be repaired $1200. Expected when you purchase a new car that was intended to be held on to for a long period of time. Fun to drive and very roomy. Interesting point; I also own a 25th anniversary mustang LX 5.0L 1990 in pristine condition and only 24,000 miles on it, I have been saving it for my oldest son and now it turns out he would prefer the Continental over the mustang because the Lincoln drives nicely, it's newer, safer, it's a sedan and probably most importantly to him is its an automatic transmission.

I Love My Lincoln!

This BEAUTIFUL 2002 Ivory Lincoln was purchased new by my Mom. I bought it from her back in 2012 and it has been very dependable and a very good car for my long commutes. I have replaced the A/C compressor and lines, replaced the rear air bags with springs, power steering pump replaced and today it is getting some front end parts replaced (age and expected wear to rubber bushings). It has 235,000 miles on it and gets 21-23mpgs. I plan to keep it in great condition - it is a fun and luxurious car - especially fun in warm weather to roll back the sunroof and get the 80's big hair happening! Momma picked a good one!

One of the best cars I have ever owned.

This car is one of the most comfortable and well built cars made from this era. Everything about it is just styled perfectly. I bought this car from a neighbor of mine, and I have used it to commute back and forth to work. It is reliable, comfortable, stylish, and is a car that performs very well. I recommend this car to anyone in the market for one. You will not be dissapointed.

Best Luxury Car Made

The Lincoln Continental was one of the best Luxury Cars ever made. With its spacious interior, styling, and comfort, it really is what a luxury car should be. I love all of the options on the car. It really gives Cadillacs of that era a run for their money. I currently own a 2002 Continental and I couldn't be any more happier with it. I paid $900.00 cash for it with 137000 miles reading on it. It had an overheating problem on the car, and I had to install a new radiator. Now that the radiator is fixed, it runs like a top. Rides like the day it rolled off of the line. I would recommend this car to anyone looking for a true American luxury car. You won't regret it.

It's the most comfortable car I've ever owned.

For such a large car and the roominess that it has, the performance and handling is of excellent quality-given the price of the vehicle. Reliability and functionality is also what made it a pleasure to drive throughout the years of ownership.

Best used car you can buy

Lots of bells and whistles. Strong engine 284hp under the hood has a 4.6 V-Tech engine V8 and the front end is fiberglass. This car is stealth. My dream is to buy one of each color.
