"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."

Great Car

By carol1959 (IL) on Sunday, February 17, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 139,000

Pros: "great seats, rides like a dream, comfort in back."

Cons: "frame rot, body rust, climate control problem."

"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."
