"I've had many full size Ford, Mercury and Lincolns and while it took me a while to warm up to the style, it is the best car I ever owned. So sorry they quit making them! Note that the newer Lincolns (post 1998 - the fully rounded ones - also out of print) are not the real McCoy. They have traction control (bad) and are too small (the doors poke you!) Would, but can't recommend this car since it is SOOO old..."

"This is the 3rd "second generation" town car I've own. My two previous TC's were a '92 and a '94 respectively. I've owned two 300 series Mercedes in between. What a world of difference between to two brands. Whereas the Mercedes is made for functional driving the town car is made for luxury driving. I enjoy driving the Lincoln on a straight up comparison of the two brands. Leather seats in both units --- bench seats in the TC versus buckets in the Benz. I just finished a 900 mile trip in the Lincoln and enjoyed just over 25 mpg! I get 27 mpg in the Mercedes and it uses premium gas! For being such a large, spacious auto the Lincoln is surprisingly agile. I miss a factory CD in the Lincoln --- but there are always aftermarket sounds. An instant way to improve handling is investing in new front struts and rear shocks. Monroe shocks are designed for a perfect fit and make for a marked improvement in both ride and handling. The rear air ride suspension can be prone to leaks, but is not as costly a repairs as it once was. I've always owned TC's which were previously had owners who took car of their cars. It is a big help knowing the vehicle history as it will spare. The 1997 town car is a great car in my book."

"I found this car less than a mile from my home a little over a year ago. The owner inherited it when her father died. He had a 97 Cadillac Deville and this 95 Towncar. I looked both of them over, and found the Lincoln to be in better overall condition. I asked to start it up and listen to it, and was told it didn't run. I put some jumper cables on it, and found it wouldn't start. I gave it a shot of ether, and it fired right up, and then quit. I realized that it wasn't getting fuel, so I switched the air conditioner relay with the fuel pump relay and it started up and ran great!! I offered them 2000 for it (they were asking 3000), and we settled on 2300. I have put less than 1000 dollars into it to correct some neglected maintenance issues(front suspension parts) as well as new tires and shocks. It cleaned up like a new penny, and is in such nice condition, it is almost like having a new car. I will keep it forever, I love how it drives and how it feels on the road."

"This has been the second best car I've owned. The first was an Oldsmobile. Reliable, comfortable,and just a great car to drive. It does have it's little problems but nothing to get upset about. Gas mileage is around 12-13 in the city. I went from O=Hare to Joliet only using 3 gallons of gas, so highway is great.My regret is I have to get rid of it due to the rust, and watch for frame rot."

Nice looking 1995 Lincoln Town Car.

"The car has 227,000 mile on it. Since it was new it has only had 1-air suspension conversion to coil springs, one blend door actuator, 2-carbon cleanings of the EGR ports, 3-window regulator gears, and belts, filters, brakes, and fluid changes. The engine, with almost a quarter of a million miles, still runs like new and the transmission still shifts like new. The paint has faded, but now, the car is kept outside. The car is still whisper quiet and drive like it has 10,000 miles. No rattles or squeaks at all. The only light that has come on is the ABS light on occasion. A/C still has the factory charge in it and is ice cold. This car has been an excellent car and still drives like new. It does use 1-quart of oil every 1000 miles, but has for years. I would highly recommend this car to anyone and I take it on 500 mile trips all the time and trust it. The interior is holding up like new, but the leather is just starting to crack a bit on the driver's seat. The trunk is almost too big as it is hard to reach down for stuff. It still has the factory mufflers and brake rotors have never warped. Hwy mpg at 55 mph is about 26.2 mpg, City is 17.1 mpg. This car was for sure built very well."
