Mostly people who were established in life and older bought these and garage them until grocery runs of doctors ✅ ups. Retired and these barely are driven so it's easy to find with low miles. Mines has 87k and I got it 5yrs ago with 78k and is 20yrs Essential. It's my 3rd TC and I gained respect cause my belated brother (retired cop) had a new white/blue top 92 but drove a crown Vic while on duty. They're earlier ones ran the 4.6 modular with 2 separate 4 plug but the 03 basically got the interceptor treatment from the P71 police package so it might not be fast as the Cobra but it's a reliable tank as long as the fluids are tended to. My bro was smart going for the tow car as his personal car especially when he explained it's a dressed up cop car 😊 So mines is the 1st model yr of the last run of the full frame cars offered from FORD. Also have the 95 Fleetwood too which was Cadillacs last full frame v8 car.

Here is my family story.
When my family came to California from Korea in 2002, my dad bought a used 98 lincoln continental from an old lady.
When we moved from Cali to Pennsylvania visiting multiple states and sight seeing all the famous cities like Vegas and National parks on the way and my dad drove the car all the way, up to Niagara, and we moved a year later again to Georgia, but not before driving all the way down to Florida Keys first.
By 2016, the car had 390k miles on it and was still running decently until my brother got old enough to drive and rear ended someone while texting. Ever since then, the car started having issues and we had to let it go.
My dad was really attached to the car and was very fond of it. Still hasn’t forgotten!
I have been in many American, Asian, German luxury vehicles, but nothing ever came close to both ride quality and comfort. Especially the seats. Plush, comfortable, spacious yet enveloping. I would instantly fall asleep and not wake up for hours during the long drives across US.
He drives a Porsche cayenne and it is a great car, but he wants to retire now and travel the country and the world with my mom in a very specific vehicle.
I know he sacrificed a lot, is still working his ass off to provide, be the best husband and father, and I am grateful for the memories and the experience not many people have.
It is my dream to gift him a Lincoln Navigator Black Label and travel the country once more. But first, I need to save up a little, before he retires in a year or two 😅

I concur whether you buy Grand Marquis the Town car or the Crown Victoria. Take care of them and they will last a looooooooong time.

[@md2k8]

Agreed

[@user-rm4rf1iz3j]

I had 2 of them with almost 400k miles. Love Lincoln. I wish they keep making them.

[@scottkingsley6905]

My dad drove a ‘92 presidential, used to love when you’d revv it up and hear the twin turbos.

[@wildboy700]

It's my Grandmother's car. It's a Lincoln, you're welcome.

[@bgrey55]

Lol the Lincoln town car. You got me on that. I was figuring you would say Hyundai or something like that. I would never thought you would let me know how good the cab that's picking me up in an hour is.

[@docternoblex]

I feel like the XG350 was supposed to emulate the town car a little, although I have only seen them in photographs

[@sergeantbigmac]

These and the Buick Park Avenue with the 3.8l from the late 90s/early00s belong to a class of extremely underrated and incredibly nice reliable sedans that people overlook because of their 'grandparents car' image.
While people are fighting to overpay for toyotas and hondas you can get a literal luxury car from the same era for cheaper.

[@parodylover999]

yeah, cheaper for sure. but at the cost of a major safety trade off.

[@PrimePrius]

​@@parodylover999Park Aves or Town cars are a safer vehicles to be in a major crash than a 2020 Corolla.

[@chublez]

​@@PrimePriusNo.

[@lawrenceterrell8471]

I lived in NY and took Gypsy cabs all the time until as a born and raised NY during the 80's up until 2013 when i finally moved permanently every time i see a Lincoln Town car it bring back many good memories of the city that never sleeps

[@jmad318]

I remember my dad had an '89 Lincoln Town Car. It felt like a limo inside. Moon roof, power everything, keypad door locks. So many features that were high end for a car made in the 80's.

[@frankiedesam8624]

What year is it and what model I always wanted one of these cuz they r so comfy. I live in the Bronx NY and the cabs used to be these and I would feel like I was on clouds and it’s so nice a quiet. I wish they would come back out with cars like these

[@nickolausmiller6838]

I knew it was a Lincoln TC once I saw the clock in the middle😂

[@ludicer122]

Great cars, Rode in one and the sits are amazing

[@02hockeystick19]

These things are awesome. The pinnacle of Lincoln, can be had for dirt cheap, and they run for absolutely ever.

[@Tainoblazed]

Livery cab. One of the Best car ever made.

[@Eric_Bassett]

Idk about the best car ever made LOL but a great car for sure

[@Tainoblazed]

@@Eric_Bassett it’s a top contender. I had a relative with one of these. It’s like a rolling living room.

[@Eric_Bassett]

@@Tainoblazed fair they are pretty nice as a platform, I was just never a huge fan of the looks.

[@TheColosiss]

I love my 2004 Red Lincoln Ultimate Town Car. It has been a good car. The only issues I've had is a new alternator and that the previous owner tried to do a sparkplug job and I had to deal with the consequences. Blowing a sparkplug is never a good feeling...
Still, only 500 bucks for some repairs and it's been flawless since then. My mechanic is a friend and took pictures for me. The previous owner had obviously been doing his own maintenance and barely knew what he was doing. Thankfully, parts for the Panther Platform Cars are very very common and he had the parts in the shop. Most of the things he replaced, I wasn't charged for. He just wanted to take pictures for his buddy that races Crown Vics. I've been taking my vehicles to this mechanic for years and he's always done right be me. Good ones are hard to come by.
The 4.6L is a good engine, but it isn't perfect. They have some issues that have needed to be resolved. That being said; they are known issues and are nowhere near as expensive as other platforms to fix. Also, they are relatively easy to work on for basic maintenance. Just do not do what my car's previous owner did and guess. Use instructions and you will do just fine. Replacing an alternator for example is just $100ish and about 10 minutes of work. Super easy!

[@Randompersoon]

You may say crown vic… But when he removed his hand to get out of the vehicle, you can see there is a lincon emblem.

[@RescueTheWorld]

My friends dad had a town car it was so cleannnnn. Bro the leg room in the back u can literally sleep on the floor it gives you a true chauffeur’d experience 👑

[@mws3779]

No surprise the panther platform is unmistakable.

[@iFixJunk]

Elephant in the room:
what's with the hood release?

[@Chris_Troxler]

Its the same basic design that BMW had. That little lever is completely hidden when the when the hood is fully shut, but pops out when you pull the release inside the car.

[@c146w]

As Chris said, it's hidden normally. Since he was filming a video he pre-popped the hood from inside the car as normal before he started filming so he could just hop out and pull the secondary release you saw sticking out. Gotta save time where you can when you're trying to squeeze your whole video into 60 seconds.

[@antonioguerrero8643]

Looks exactly like my 05 she’s beautiful

[@waynebrewer1901]

You had me at vanity mirrors in the back seat.

[@castironbandito]

The Lincoln Town Car is a great car and one of the best used luxury cars money can buy. This right here is a what a true luxury car is. It's more luxurious than any Lexus.

[@JWJTRAINOR]

You literally showed the logo when you got out of the car

[@mikeoli1215]

Had a 98 signature bought for $1100 with 168000 on the odometer. Absolutely loved that car. Deep forest green with a dirty gold/ beige vinyl top. 😢 I miss it so much.. It had a lot of power.😢 the guy I bought it from had it converted from air sus to normal suspension and still rode very smooth.

[@arod762]

The panther platform is the most reliable vehicle on the road

[@Halbmond]

wait, Kleenex in the back seat? 🤨 They really did think of every use case, didn’t they

[@TireSlayer55]

😂

[@dmegahan]

Town car all day.

[@domingoferrari5889]

Thats what my Mom always had once my Dad made money. She had 3 of them over the years. Brings back memories

[@yeahright528]

I drive a 2013 Lincoln Mkz and I love it. Those old town cars are tanks. My uncle used to have one and didn't take care of it at all other than changing the oil whenever he felt like it. That thing ran smooth as hell and potholes felt like pillows.

[@parodylover999]

this "tank" myth needs to end. the MKZ is a tank in comparison and will easily tear into the thin panther.
look at how awful it was when T boned in IIHS, and in offset the A pillar shifted only at 40.

[@americanrambler4972]

One of the best real American cars made during its run. Neither a hot rod nor an over stuffed luxury lounge of great expense. Too bad the Panther platform reached the end of the road. Now if we can keep Cletus from buying up all the good ones that are left and destroying them at his freedom factory crashing events.

[@ShrimpLTD]

Man, the whiplash i felt from seeing a car i get into at least weekly is wild

[@marioStortuga]

I used to use these when i worked in corporate was great

[@patrickweaver5704]

That body style was nice when it first came out .😊
