soft and supple ride, however you feel like you are driving a waterbed. I've been driving a '99 Towncar for the last 6 years.  It has been very dependable.  When I purchased it with 40,000 miles on it, all the scheduled maintenance had been done on the vehicle, so I didn't have to do anything for the first year-and-a-half.  Then at 65,000 miles I had it tuned, not because it was running improperly, I just figured it couldn't hurt and perhaps I would get better gas mileage.  The mileage didn't improve at all and the vehicle ran exactly the same.  Last year I had to replace the air conditioning compressor and that cost $650.  Other than that the vehicle has been trouble free.  I actually went to the Lincoln dealership to inquire about purchasing or leasing a new Towncar, however they only offered me $3000 for my '99.  At that rate, I would keep the '99 and purchase or lease a new one and drive them both to keep the mileage off the new one, and drive the old one in the winter and the bad weather.  The new one seemed very similar to the old one, except for small differences in the headlights and tailights, and the dashboard was a little different.  That's about it.  Good luck and God bless.
