Hello All,
After wrecking my 1996 Cougar XR7 4.6L about 10 days ago, I began to look around for a replacement and I could not find anything I liked. While looking I stumbled across the Mark VIII and decided I wanted one. I came across this car online. It had 76K miles and looked very clean. The dealer told me that this car was originally a S. CAL car and the carfax report seems to confirm this.

I just bought this 1998 Lincoln Mark VIII on Saturday and immediately hit the road for a 500 mile trip home.

On the way home, I found three issues with the car and from my searches, it seems these are common problems for the 2nd gen Mark VIII.

  1. Windshield washer button is missing
  2. Drivers seat will not move forward or back. Wheres and clicks, but does not move.
  3. Heater stuck in A/C.

From posting on this site and others, I think I know what needs to be done, but its really hard to find spares.

Thank you all,

Y.
