Overview & Reviews

Lincoln's front-wheel-drive luxo-barge gets a bigger grille (just what it needs) and rounded corners. It also gets an interior freshening that replaces the digital clock with an analog timepiece.

• Jaquaresque styling on a full-size American road schooner. Powerful twin-cam V8 engine.

• Poorly sorted suspension. Lousy resale value.

  Nothing beats this Lincoln! - 1998 Lincoln Continental
  By Greg - May 20 - 2:16 am

  Car had 97k on it when I bought it. Today it has 173,000 and still runs excellent. Zero problems! Zero. Had to replace tires of course and I believe maybe the tie rod ends are ready to be replaced. Expensive, but big deal compared to what Ive saved.

  I have had three Cadillacs in the past. This is a good reliable car. Not a Cadillac, but still a good car.

  Pretty nice ride..... - 1998 Lincoln Continental
  By "Mr. Stubbs" - August 31 - 2:00 am

  Bought this used (hey -- Im a Ford man) cause I refuse to pay big bucks for this or any kind of car - beside, theres a lot of good used ones out there - so I found this super clean 98 Connie in pale gold with low miles (30K) and got the "whole enchelada" extended warranty. I love the ride of this pimpmobile! The 32 valve engine has a really sweet sound. One of the best cars Ive had.

  Obviously, I have well over 100k miles on this car. It has been AWESOME. Minor repairs so far, great ride, still looks great. Leather is like new. All electrics, mechanics work great...Couldnt ask for more

  Incredible! - 1998 Lincoln Continental
  By Daddy MC - August 8 - 2:00 am

  No more cramped bone jarring rides for me! I love this car! Pearlescent Ivory with fabric roof (how do you care for that anyway?) When they demonstrated all the options I could hardly keep from giggling like a school- boy! Ive never owned a car so nice. It has an distinctive look and and elegant ride. I was amazed how affordable a used Lincoln is.

  my personal experience - 1998 Lincoln Continental
  By J Aston - August 8 - 2:00 am

  The most trouble free car I ever owned, except for my Honda Civic. A true road car; what a joy to travel in.

  7 year owner of 1998 Continental - 1998 Lincoln Continental
  By BILL HOWARD - March 8 - 3:03 am

  Had real problems with this car when I first bought it. Had to have it towed into the dealership 3 times, and their final answer was that I had had fuel pump problems. Also had a clicking sound at that right left front side of the car and they determined that a ball joint was cracked. Havent had any trouble along those lines since. My only complaint now is that the right front suspension is making a grunting sound that I notice when driving into the garage and also when driving slow and going over uneven road surfaces.

  Worst vehicle ever - 1998 Lincoln Continental
  By Mr. G - December 31 - 12:13 pm

  Undoubtly the worst car I have ever owned. I have put 1000s of dollars keeping this car running. I bought it at 70K and have about 127K now. It has cost me more agrivation than any other car I have owned. The front end linkage has been replace serveal times, the wheel bearing have been replace on both side twice, the steering rack has been replaced, the water pump has been replace and much more not to mention the little things. Like the roof quit working, the window control quit, the heated mirror went out and on and on.

  pile of junk - 1998 Lincoln Continental
  By unhappy owner - December 12 - 4:13 am

  I bought my Continental with 56,000 miles and within a week I had to replace a coil, 200 dollars at the dealer. The next year interior rear view mirror liquid crystal failed. 400 dolars to replace which I did not replace. the third year at 86,000 miles had to rebuild the transmission, 2650 dollars. the follawing years I replaced the alternator, $400 water pump,$400, rackin pinion, $800 powerstreeing pump $800, all the pulles,$300 the electric fan assembly because you can not buy a single fan,$750, back calipers over $600, torsion bars, $ 400 and now the the ball joints and bushings, $800. Never again will I buy a Ford. They have proven to me to be absolute junk. Dont but one. . . .
