Lincoln Town Car

[croyde]

You have probably seen me posting over the year(s) about my weird need to have a Crown Vic but non have been forthcoming around my budget of £3k to £4k so I have been keeping an eye out for the various Mercury and Lincoln variants.

This has popped up on eBay but is it at a good price. The dealer originally had it at £7995 on his site but as you can see it's now at £5995.

It does seem in good nick according to the pics but how can a car that is 13 years old only have done 38,000 miles.

I know most people think they are a pile of poo but I just fancy an over sized yank with a V8 that is not gonna cost the Earth to keep on the road.

I have driven the P71 Crown Vic on UK roads and I have to say that the suspension felt quite firm but then it was police spec. I'll expect a wallowy ride in this one

Thanks guys, I have finally done it.

Deposit down on a 2001 Mercury Grand Marquis with only 50,000km on the clock (Canadian import). Has been in use as a wedding car and is pristine.

Even better it's way up in Morayshire so I'm getting the sleeper train up and then a road trip back down to London

Thanks for bearing with me after all my posts on the Ford/Mercury/Lincoln. Now I finally get a chance to scratch that itch and if it doesn't agree, I can't see me losing much selling it on, especially down here in London Town. I think the chap in Scotland was finding it difficult to sell due to being so remote.

Will cost me £500 in fares and fuel to pick it up so it's a good thing it's big as I'll be sleeping in it

Thanks mate. Not felt this excited about picking up a car since going to get my 987 Boxster back in 2005
