1989 Lincoln Mark VII User Reviews

Big Fast And Expensive — i love this car, i wanted it ever since the firs time i had seen it, the power it has is more than anything ive ever played with. it is great when i need to get the baby to daycare and great for just playing around.

I Love It. If Only It Was A Little Faster I Would Never Have Bought My Camaro — Very reliable and will smoke most ricers. Throw some exhaust on and you've got a manly sounding luxury mustang. It wont keep up with modern v8s but you'll be riding in style and since its got the 5.0 from the Mustang GT its very easily upgraded with the huge aftermarket there is for that motor.

Primary Use: Family transportation

Mark Vii - Fun Car —

I have to say that the Mark was one of the most attractive cars ever produced. Living in New England, most of them rotted out because of road salt because they were made without a frame and with very little steel. They are fairly rare up here. The car is very fast and can still keep up with the modern cars on the road today. However, the handling cannot compare. The ride quality is okay because of the (problematic) air springs on all four wheels. I can't recommend this car for daily use because of its age and problematic electronic systems -- You will need to have some intermediate understanding of auto mechanics in order to own one of these cars yourself or you will probably face steep prices at the repair shop. Common problems with the anti-lock brakes (First car ever produced with ABS and composite headlights-- 6 months before the corvette), air suspension, and the AOD transmission which doesn't like abuse and neglect. These are beautiful, luxurious and sporty cars but require a loving owner. This is a great car for anyone who is passionate about American automotive history and wants to invest in a fun weekend car. They can be found in alright condition for as little as $1500 and they can be totally worth it if you get one that has been taken care of and hasn't been beat on. I wish Lincoln/Ford/Mercury never stopped producing REAL cars or I'd own a brand new one today.

Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)
