3 years late. About the air suspension. You are right. I owned both town car and a w220 Mercedes s500. Still have the s500. What it cost to replace entire air suspension system on Town Car is barely one, uno, singular off brand air shock or $2500 for mbz shock, just the shock, on the S500. And s500 have four of them. On top of air pump, which can be another $1500. And the distribution valve, another $1000 or so. Easily $12,000 for air suspension if one go to dealer, just in parts. Maybe half that if one gets creative with non dealer sources.

got a 99 a month ago with 86k miles for 2400$. Love it to bits n pieces but i miss my crv lol.

10:04 The beauty, and I mean the true, absolute beauty of these land yachts is that, when you're going home at the end of the long, insufferable workday, you don't necessarily want to, let alone have the strength to, drag every Challenger between your job site in your home, nor do you necessarily want your car to beat the shit out of you, nor do you even want to have an incessant chat between you and your steering column about every little imperfection in the road,nor do you want, or even have the strength to,lift your hand to a stick ,all in the name of extra driving engagement that you will likely be too tired to necessarily feel. No, this is a big, comfy Cruiser designed to take you home in style and in Comfort,pure and simple.

I’m three years late to the conversation, but I appreciate the feedback. I’m strongly considering buying one of these cars. The color interior/exterior combination you have is the one I want, so your video made me stop scrolling. 👏🏼👍🏼 I listened closely to the things you don’t like, but I think they’re more preferences than they are cons. That cheesy piece on the door could probably be rewrapped in leather if it’s bothersome to you. I also think the manufacturers didn’t put a lot of power in this model car (in terms of motor) because they were designed and marketed for a specific buyer: the middle aged to the elderly. It’s perfect as is for an elderly woman, and an elderly man will just buy himself a sports car and save this for the Sunday drive in to church if that’s what he’s looking for. As far as the weak front end, every car manufacturer has its flaws, quirks, and weaknesses. When they’re building these cars, they’ve got to figure out where to put the money and where to skimp. At least that’s the way I see it.🤷🏽‍♀️😂 Thanks for a helpful video.😊👍🏼

I heard Yamaha be mentioned in the video n fun fact Toyota (Lexus) has ownership shares in Yamaha.

Just bought a 2005 es330 for 4600 with 73k original miles. It’s insanely comfortable and drives like I’m flying thru the clouds 😂 like the jetsons.

I got a 1996 Fleetwood Brougham, another great land yacht

Ok, it's not how fast a dickhead mechanic can change the fuel filter.. SHOW us how to do it!! This is worthless

I’m convinced! Over the Corolla! I am going to see one soon and hopefully buy it. Two mechanics says Toyota bc it’s easier to work with. Well that what you pay them for right? I want reliability and class at the same time and jd us has it. It will be my daily drive for a while. 2003 ES300 132k miles. $5,500 if he lets it go. He’s asking $7k which I think is way too much. Value is $5,490. Here I was looking for a car with low mileage never thinking of buying one with this high mileage. But all other brands won’t even make it to 90k

I am buying a 2005 signature Town Car (White) this Friday from a man and woman I know. It has no dents and no rust and has 194,000 miles, but is a good one and of course has the 4.6 V8 engine. I am retired age 68 and am a master mechanic and machinist and already know that drive train being I am aware of your 97 to 03 F150 trucks. Mine has the moon roof and leather seats. I was surprised to find that the seats are as thick and padded as a 1989 signature I owned. Im still in disbelief of how that car weigh 4400 lbs empty curb weight and look so compact.

The Lincoln Town Car was a member of the family of Ford Panther Platform cars which included the Ford Crown Victoria and the Mercury Grand Marquis. When Ford stopped making the Panther Platform cars it was the end of era in automobiles. These cars were the last of the full size, body on a frame, V8 engine, and rear wheel drive with a solid axle. You will not see cars like this ever again.

It is a Toyota...😅😂

Great car! Would you sell it?

How many cars have you ever seen blow up because of the fuel filter?😂

I disagree about your lexus arguement, lexus is superior in everyway.

I absolutely love these. I know a lot of people don’t like the body style but I really do. I also love the interior on these. Looking for an ‘05-‘06 Ed 330 with around 100k miles

I have a 09 es 200k miles, still smooth as butta

The best car I ever drove ,

Nice Video!

I'm 16 and I just bought a 1999 Lincoln Town Car

Buying a Lincoln Town Car ... worried about what people "think" about you?!? What would they's all "think"???

The beauty of buying an old GX470 is being able to buy a vintage Landcruiser Prado 120 with leather seats thats never seen a trail in its life.

Yep your channel exploded

you need a waist length leather jacket. (awesome vid)

THX 4 POSTING!!

It is the driving experience itself you have in these cars it's just very.

Hi is it a 5 speed ?

They're practical. You fix out a little issues than any car that old is going to have and it may drive another hundred thousand miles will I have any more problems not to mention it's pretty cheap to fix the problems. A lot of the late 90s and early 2000s big vehicles had issues with their front end. All their bushings are rubber. A 20 year old car is going to need new bushings creating the 60s you couldn't get 20 years out of any vehicle without pulling the motor and rebuilding it not to mention how quick they rusted out. You buy an expensive luxury car and you're just going to spend endless amounts of money on it. You buy anything from a Ford Lincoln or Mercury on the panther platform and you can drive it forever for very little money. I've owned a couple Volvos and I can tell you, it cost me about 1500 a year just to keep that Volvo on the road. I've been driving my old Durango for 2 years and all I've had to do is change oil.

Bought my GX470 after building up my 5th gen 4Runner & 4Th gen V8 4Runner. I think I like the GX470 better & I still have all 3.

There's only one thing I really dislike about my 2002 Town Car ... PARKING! I don't have to concern myself with getting IN the parking spot, it's getting OUT. Plan ahead when scoping out where you will park.

Im 3 years late on coming across this video. My daily driver is a 2000 executive series black on black. Found it as a non runner with 90k miles in an older mans driveway. Long story short, it belonged to his mother who purchased new who passed away and was left to him. He himself was up in age and due to health reasons and the fact the car itself needed some repairs decided to part with it. Mostly the common problems these cars are known for with age. Probably the easiest car to work on and the best car ive owned hands down. Its no powerhouse there's nothing special about it but its good enough to keep up to today's standards, its very reliable, very comfortable, not too bad on mpgs, and it was cheap even after the repairs it needed. I owned a 95 town car years ago that was also reliable and a couple of grand marquis before that. I always said ill never part with my town car and if i had to, I would find another or a marquis to replace it.

The beautiful BQ paint code! Have a 2001 Signature almost just like it. Ours is a daily driver.

Just took my 2006 ES330 from Southern to Northern Calif for a total of about 700 miles. The driving was smooth at 90 miles per hour... This is a great car and currently has a total of 129k miles...

I must agree it's a cool looking car,even though over all I prefered Mercury's smaller cars of that era,such as the Cougar & the Comet. I love the detail of the taillights,& the reverse lights in the bumper,and speedo! A STEREO radio was pretty cool & unusual in a car in 1968,I imagine?? I would guess that only luxury brands had stereos,as well into the 80's,economy cars still usually only had AM radios with one speaker.

Is the car for sale🤔?

wheels are inappropriate - these cars looked better w/o the vinyl top - essentially a Mercury LTD more than a Lincoln - get one in black w/o the plastic top and you're Steve McGarrett

Wow and it is still in good condition too

Sorry for the cutoff at the end. Nothing super important missed. Please like and subscribe for more videos!

🔥 Mercury 🔥 nice 🔥

I have both GX and LX and both are excellent but the LX is the bigger older sibling

Great and funny video, full of truth lol

I saw a flawless mint condition 06 es330 with 45k original miles. Guy was selling for 10k. Should I buy?

Thank you , this video is soooo helpful

What a beautiful car, an American classic.

Lovely TC

That was my first car, same color too! I loved that car!

light French silk metallic paint with light parchment interior.

I loved your video and how you shared your enjoyment with owning this car. I have 4 panther vehicles from the 2000 crown victoria, 2000 grand marquis, 2004 grand marquis, and my 1996 town car which is love but hate that I wrecked the front end and although it drive just fine, it is not the same visually and for that I am frustrated at myself for that happening. These cars are beautiful and wonderful cars and love the older all digital dash, but regardless, I like the car and will eventually get one of the later ones that were near the end of the manufacturing cycle. My friend wants to get one and so will I. Thank you for sharing your video and it is unfortunate that they are not a market item anymore.

I'm happy you mentioned the paint that seems to change color. I have a 2007 Town Car Signature L painted in "Satellite Silver Metallic" and it either looks like a mix of baby blue and teal or silver depending on the light outside. always loved the color. i also absolutely agree about resting in the seats after a long day of work. it's definitely my favorite part of the car
