Used Lincoln Continental for Sale

I absolutely loved this car. It was chocolate brown with brown interior. Everything was just "better" than any car I had ever owned. I bought it in California, drove it to New York and then back to Chicago. It just seemed to fly along the freeway. I kept it in drive most of the time. I have had other cars that had the drive feature, but they did not seem as reliable and consistent as the Continental. I actually named my car Ramone because it seemed to have its own personality. The upkeep was amazingly easy and cost no more than any of the less expensive cars I had previously owned. The electric windows worked perfectly in the heat of the desert when we drove through it, and in the 10 below zero Chicago winter. I also noticed immediately that the dials were better lit and a little larger and easier to read during night driving. That was really a plus for me, since I do a lot of driving after dark. Also, the engine was very soft and quiet - according to my mother it sounded more like a panther purring than a "mechanical" thing. Also, the way the driver's seat could be adjusted was outstanding (I don't know about the other seats because NO ONE but me ever drove Ramone).

My 2002 Lincoln Continental is a dream to drive. It has all the bells and whistles, including an air-ride controlled rear suspension that makes even long trips a pleasure. I've had very few issues, even with well over 200,000 miles and going strong. Being a powerful V-8, it's easy to get out of a jamb when needed, and pulling a steep hill on cruise control is easy for this baby. This car is one of those classic designs that will stand the test of time. It has an elegance that will never go out of style.

I was desperate to get into a car after I totaled the last one hitting a deer. This car was all I could afford at the time. Looking back on it, I should have made a better choice. There was an oil leak, the tie rods were mangled in the front (it probably explains the uneven tread wear on the tires. And to top it all off the alternator sounded like it was ready to go.
