This Year's Model Updates:

Lincoln redesigns its Town Car this year, making it lower, stiffer and faster. The interior is nicely improved as well, with softer seats and better positioned controls.

Pros:
Cons:
  • There is a stigma that goes with buying a Town Car. It will either label you as a Sun City retiree or a New York limousine chauffeur. Not the image that most people are looking for.

  • Great Car - 1998 Lincoln Town Car
    By -

    I purchased my 98Lincoln Towncar Executive from my father at 117000 miles a year ago. He bought it at 50,000 miles from a dealership, it had been a corporate program car. No problems with it. Excellent car. Rides nice, no engine sound in the cab, no problems. My father replaced the upper and lower ball joints before I bought it and did some exhaust work. I put new spark plugs on at 100,000 miles. Otherwise nothing has been done to it. I get 24.5 mpg at 65 mph down the interstate. Ill get almost 30 if I drive 55 down the interstate. Trouble free and comfortable. My only complaint is it is horrible on snow-packed roads so I no longer drive it in the winter.

    Great car. Love the interior room and trunkspace. Also love that its an american made rear wheel drive car. Handles well, great exterior styling looks like a mafia car. Built like a tank, I feel safe and ride in luxury. There is a little lack of power, but that can be taken care of (I put dual exhaust on mine!) and performance heads would make a big difference too. Gas milage isnt great, but is good for a car this big.

    This has been one of the most pleasant experiences I have had owning this truly fine car. Besides luxury and comfort is has economy not found elswhere, at least by me. Have taken trips that averaged 500 miles or more and recorded measured miles per gallon of 27.8.... A joy to drive, and safety all around, I will own another... smm

    I have owned this car for only seven months. So far I have had very good luck with this car. So far I needed only normal wear and tear items replaced. A good riding car. I cant complain.

    I purchased the car almost 9 months ago with 102k miles. It did need some work, an intake manifold, 2 coils, and a serpentine belt, but honestly I guess thats what to expect when you purchase an older high end car. All cars break as they age, its that fine vehicles, lincoln, mercedes etc, require more costly parts. All that work cost me $1,500 which I guess isnt horrible. I had to replace one of my front headlamps because it became yellowed and fogged over, got a new one on ebay for $90! VERY easy to replace! pretty sweet deal! My ac compressor just went only $200. I really love my car, its sleak, powerful, beyond comfortable, and I get to say I have a lincoln! id buy another Lincoln!

  • A Wonderful Ownership Experiance - 1998 Lincoln Town Car
    By -

    Purchased the car with 20,000 miles on it. I drive every day and I am not easy on a car. My 98 Town Car Signature has been truly a wonderful car and most of all I have had not one major problem with the car and any visit to the Lincoln service department has only given me great treatment.The car is always reliable and built tough, I am approaching 110,000 miles on it and I have got the urge to get something new, however this car has been so good to me I dont want to trade it for something with problems. I would recomend this car for anyone who desires a luxury ride and reliability.

  • Very Comfortable Ride - 1998 Lincoln Town Car
    By -

    I bought this car from a family member because she wanted something smaller. I was really hesitant because the car seems geared towards grandparents and limo drivers, but I couldnt beat the price. But I really enjoy the ride, the comfort, and the surprising acceleration. The car has a very distinctive exterior, and the interior is functional. As a coach, the trunk is awesome. Easily holds golf clubs, baseball gear and then some. The only problems over the life of the car have been electrical...the turn signal and one power window. Other than that no troubles.
