2001 Lincoln Continental

Best used cars

By Lincoln Lover (IA) on Sunday, May 05, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 130,000

Pros: "Smooth ride, good mileage, durable."

Cons: "Very long"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"I do not think you can find a better used car than a Lincoln. I am the third owner of my Continental and it has treated me better than any of my cars. I have owned a Cadillac too and I am speaking from experience that Lincolns are much better as far as reliability and luxury goes than a Cadillac could ever dream of being. If you are looking for a good reliable used car, Lincoln is the way to go."

"I just recently bought this car at 115000 miles and it is a 99. So far love this car Drives great, rides great, looks alright, body has no rust, scratches, or dents. the body does not even look it has been through Michigan winters.BY THE WAY DRIVES GREAT IN THE WINTER. It drives perfectly straight AND HAS ALL THE POWER YOU NEED. It has A LOT OF BUTTONS AND THEY ALL WORK!!! MPG could be better. I am used to it, I have always been a fan a big cars(My first car was 89 Deville). I spent 3 Days looking for a car and this one was perfect. Even my wife loved it, heated seats(also most heated seats I have seen have either high or low setting this has a dial 1-5), leather, sun roof, and big trunk) Over all great car and glad to see such great reviews. Also Looks better than most older people cars."

Had mine for 11 years

By Steve (RI) on Thursday, December 20, 2012

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 97,000

"I have to say you can’t kill this car. I have owned it from new and it is time for me to get a new car but I really know that I will miss this one a lot. I just love the thing. If you don’t own one you can’t understand how anyone can be attached to a car so much. I keep waiting for it to die but it keeps running and nicely at that. No major repairs and not many minor ones. If you want cheap wheels or a second car you can’t beat this thing. It’s a tank and I say that in a nice way. Even my wife loves this car and uses it over her newer car. She feels safe in it."

Great car, beautiful and dependable.

By Ellen (FL) on Thursday, September 20, 2012

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 102,000

Pros: "comfort and reliability"

Cons: "Gas milage is only 16 miles to gallon."

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"When I walk up to this car I still think it looks sharp even after 14 years. Has cost very little in repairs throughout these years. Tie rods, replaced air bags with regular shocks, and replaced fan motor. Seat motor was replaced and auto steering pump. Thats not bad in 14 years. Comfort can't be matched, even in new cars."

Awesome Car For My Second Car

By ddbtkd456 (IA) on Wednesday, September 19, 2012

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 11,700

Pros: "safe, comfortable, interior, leather."

Cons: "outside looks, other then that none, gas milage"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"Well i bought this 6 years ago and it had approx. 54,000 miles it and got it for 5,000 cause the dealer wanted it off there lot, well i wasnt really sure about this car at first, but the 4.8 has more then enough power to throw you into your seat when your going 70 miles an hour, the interior on the car is amazing ive never felt so much comfort before, and i got into a accident about half a week ago, and the olds bavada got totalled out and my axel snapped under the frame, but the safety of the car was very very realiable, i did a complete 360 and never lost control of the car once, the 6 disc changer and the subwoofer in the back make the car about perfect. I got slammed into the door but the seat belt acted as it should and locked tightly so i hardly hit the door, the airbags in the seat were good too, they went off like they should of, overall at 60 miles an hour the only thing was the axel broke and it totaled his car, i would definently recommend this car to a beginner driver, as it is very very safe. Yes it may get lower in gas milage, but the heavier a car is the safer it is."

Better than all the foreign cars I've owned prior!

By Ms. TBone (TN) on Sunday, September 16, 2012

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 125,000

Pros: "Solid, safe, luxurious, hot rod!"

Cons: "They don't make them anymore or I'd buy another!"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"I went from an Acura Integra Special Edition race car to this Lincoln Continental HOT ROD in 1999 when I was 39 years old and don't want to ever replace it! The wood trim and leather are still like new and my friends' cars still don't have some of the Continental's automatic features. This car is strong and fast and I feel really, really safe in it. Independent suspension is why they made limousines out of this model as you feel like you are floating over the road. I've never had a more quiet ride as this car is solid. The huge trunk is larger than the Town Car's trunk (swear I fit a folded futon mattress in it and closed the hood.) Dealership service and the relationship we made kept my car always running well with no surprises and a few freebies along the way, too! No accidents due to it's responsiveness because there have been close calls. Again . . . safe, reliable, luxurious, quiet--it doesn't get any better! 125,000 miles and counting!"
