Overview & Reviews

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.

• 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.

  1998 Lincoln Town Car - 1998 Lincoln Town Car
  By presidentme - December 12 - 8:05 am

  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 SLR - September 11 - 10:00 am

  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.

  Worst Town Car to Date - 1998 Lincoln Town Car
  By Tash Cheema - April 10 - 5:03 pm

  This car currently has 223K on it. Its my fathers car and used it work as a limo driver. Up until about 170K, the car was basically trouble free (one or two minor repairs.) The only real constant problem was a hole in the firewall that allowed rain water and snow to get into the passenger compartment.(The car now wreaks of dirty water). However over the past two years this car has been problematic. Heres a list of all the problems weve had: Two bad wiper motors. Two power driver power window motors. Sunroof stopped working. Intake manifold blew(factory defect). Gas mileage has decreased slowly(now 12-14 mpg). A/C compressor inoperative. A spark plug blew out of the engine.

  Good but not Great - 1998 Lincoln Town Car
  By asmart - March 12 - 2:00 am

  There have been numerous defects and mechanical problems over the last 12k miles. Front end wobble and alignment. Transmission shudder in third gear and overdrive. Catalytic converters going bad. Trim pieces falling off. Stalling and dying without warning. No error codes to indicate trouble. The list of other minor things go on.

  Very Comfortable Ride - 1998 Lincoln Town Car
  By usanow - February 4 - 10:00 am

  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.
