What Owners are Saying About the 2001 Lincoln Continental

"Great Value"

"This is an underrated car, great ride, mpg’s (I’m averaging 23mpg), and lively passing performance. I just bought this car for $1,350 from an estate. The previous owner had it for 20 years, and she purchased it as used from the original dealer in 1999 (maybe it was a dealer demo car?). It had not seen much use in recent years, and I have been slowly going through all the maintenance items. She had run over something and damaged the catalytic converters, so I installed new converters. All told I’ve spent about $800 on parts to refresh this car, and now I’m driving 140 miles per day during the week (I live in rural Texas). It definitely prefers premium fuel, or the mid-grade, over regular. As a long time do it yourself mechanic this car is not too hard to work on. Since the car is now 21 years old there are not many mechanics familiar with this model, and there is no good aftermarket repair manual. There is also very little serious YouTube videos for service or diagnosis- you will largely be on your own with no support for home garage repair and maintenance. So I got the factory set of service volumes off eBay."

"Best I've ever owned"

"I've owned many cars and I found the Lincoln to be the best.I get great gas mileage for a large car and the comfort is excellent. I recommend it to everyone."

"awesome ride"

"I bought this car from my mom at 35,000 miles just because she needed something smaller at age 85. I use it to commute 55 miles each way to work and have other cars for weekend driving including a BMW 325i conv. and a toyota land crusier for mtn driving. Forget it---the lincoln is better in the snow (with Bizzaks) than the Land Cruiser and frankly, the licoln is so much more comfy to drive than the BMW that its my full time driver. I did replace the tranny mainly cause mom never checked the tranny fluid and I get 20 MPG all around. Such a great car, wish I bought one new in 2002 and kept it"
