All black lincoln town car, presidential edition
I have the Presidential edition, which was a limited model. I love my car. It has a black rag top on it which requires much attention, but overall I would recommend anyone who comes across this car to not pass it up. A great buy.

Luxury ride fit for a Queen
Rides smooth, the back window on passenger side doesn't always like to go up and had to replace the rear end.. But it's lovely. The gas mileage isn't the best and the gauge doesn't work.. So got to keep an eye on the miles. It's really comfortable and I'd like a newer one

The most amazing car of its year
My Lincoln Town car is one of the best cars I have ever owned . It's a perfect family car that helps me and my kids get around town and talk about luxury. My town car feels like a boat anywhere I go and with the security features it has makes me feel like a king. The town car is great on gas and is smooth on the road. If I could I would buy a much newer town car by sadly they discontinued the town car series back in 07.

Lincoln Town Car: The last true American large luxury car.
The Lincoln Town Car is a very comfortable, great riding automobile. The last of the big American luxury vehicle. The ride is smooth, the cabin is quiet, the sound system is great. Handling is what one would expect in a large luxury vehicle. The only mechanical issues, other than standard brakes, battery, tires etc... Has been the air ride suspension air bags failed. I replaced it with coil springs and the car still rides superbly. The fit and finish is perfect to this day and you can store enough luggage for 5 people for a trip. I would drive the vehicle anywhere. The perfect highway cruiser.

Whish the town car was still being made.
Nearly no problems over the last 10+ years. $2, 200 Just happened and that was for air springs and shocks and struts. Still get decent mileage of around 24-27 mpg on freeway. Wish they still made this model. Great safe ride and extremely comfortable to ride in and drive.

That It's quality built and even 14 years old It's reliable and well built.
Yes, the lincoln town car built in this year was the best of the best. 5 star safety rating on all sides. Luxury but classic. I really enjoy this large car for space and cruising.

Comfortable Lincoln ride in style
No problems very comfortable and very good on the road you should invest in one the only minor problems that it might have is electrical problems. It doesn't put me down I can commute to work safely and run errands safely. I suggest you get one of these amazingly comfortable cars and they are very affordable and you can fix on them they are very easy to fix

Love the ashtrays in the back and front of the vehicle.
Seats are super comfortable! The engine runs like no other car I've ever had. This car is reliable and had all the Bells and whistles you want and love on any newer car. I have had the car for 2 years and 20,000 miles late there is no need for work at all.

Leather seats, that used to warm.
It is old and the power windows don' work, the air conditioning does not work, the heated seats do not work, it is to big for me to drive and sits to low. It is roomy and has nice leather seats. We got it free, and it costs a lot to tune up. There is nothing more to say.

Pros and cons of this car.
This car is both the best and worst thing I have ever owned. Pros: it's so heavy it won't flip over or hydroplane easily. It is got a lot of storage space. People think you are either a mobster or movie star when you drive it. . Cons: the parts are not made anymore so it's expensive to fix or you have to go junkyard diving. It falls apart if you do not baby it. And it eats gas like a madman.

Very nice large luxury car
I like my car a lot even though it's a bit too big for me. I have not had any problems. Any repairs that were done was scheduled maintenance. The car has a lot of electronic options, seats, heated seats, windows, heat and AC. I'm always worried about what I'll do if the system goes out
