What Owners are Saying About the 1997 Lincoln Continental
"My LINCOLN!!"
"What can I say, I love this car its a driving computer almost.I too enjoy the 1 and 2 seater thats memorised, because there a big difference between my husband and I reach. I love everything about this care, cause it tells you when theres a low tire pressure or low on antifreeze. For sure this car is way beyond the today time. My car is awesome in every way I never new that LINCOLN CONTINENTAL had so much to offer to its owner. Just wish I could afford a newer Lincoln.I have driven so many other vehicles over the years, and this car this the ULTIMETE ABOVE ALL."
"Repairs $$"
"I bought this car in FL with 70K mi back in 2003. I loved it, what a ride. After 1 year, I broke a valve spring. I had trouble finding a mechanic to take on the repair (the engine needed to be removed to do the valve job $2300). Over the next few years, the Air ride went (installed a spring replacement kit), tie rods, a ball joint, AC compressor and the starter. I did all of these repairs myself and I can't bring myself to selling it. If you are not a mechanic don't buy an old luxury car, the repairs are too expensive."
"Good Car"
"Everything is great on these cars. Gas is expensive, and the air bags for your level ride are known for going out, the cost to replace those is around 1500.00 but other than that they are good cars.."
