1997 Lincoln Continental Base review

Good deal for a used car in excellent condition!

The test drive was very smooth and the AC and heater blower you can hear it come on but the air wasn't coming out of the vents as hard as you hear it blowing and the turn signals and hazard lights didn't Flash but maybe it was in need of new bulbs or the alternator probably wasn't charged fully I don't know but I know that the car drove extremely well...The transmission didn't have any slips or issues with going into gear and the brakes weren't squeaking and the brake / acceleration pedals weren't loose they had good tension and the exterior had no dents the lines were straight and no rush either. The interior was in excellent condition as well-especially the LEATHER!!
