Correct. The intent was to sell it to him for half of what we had into it. However, he is no longer living with us and doesn't have a job. So I'm not going to let it sit around and rot. :-/

Selling our 1998 Lincoln Continental - asking $2500. Just put about $2000 worth of work into it with new Michelin Defender tires, passenger side ball joint/inner tie rod, alignment, transmission filter and fuel filter change and a serpentine belt. I would give the exterior and interior around...

That was my thought as well. I'm not at home to check it, but it's my understanding it's somewhere near the brake reservoir. I imagine it's way past the date I could get that recall done if that was the case.

So picked up a new to 98 Continental yesterday. I noticed on the way home the cruise control doesn't work. You turn it on, and it says "cruise control ready" but if you press the Resume/Set Accel button nothing happens. I swear the first time I tried the info briefly displayed "Cruise Control...

Well we bought a 98 Lincoln Continental for our son yesterday for his first car. It needs a bit of work (brakes, some front end work, and an upper engine mount/torque strut). So nothing major and it was clean overall. Got it for $1400 with 147k on it...

We have an 09 Lincoln Navigator that likes to occasionally rev up when slowing down to make a turn or park. For example, it will occasionally rev up to about 1500 RPMs when making a slow turn or pulling into a parking space. It almost feels like it's just late downshifting into 1st. Car has...

I've always thought the 07 and later design was more reliable than the pre-07 design. But I've seen a number of late model Navigators running around town with the boards in the down position, so maybe they aren't more reliable. Apparently they updated the motor in 2014, so maybe they "fixed"...

Well guys, I have learned A LOT about these running boards since first posted this, and they are finally fixed today. The $650 price I mentioned earlier was for the short wheel base, which has different brackets than the long wheel base. Dorman make the $650 part, but it's only for the short...

For some reason the link isn't taking it to the full listing for me - but I did find this: http://www.lincolnofwayne.com/blog/video/2016/october/18/1998-Lincoln-Mark-Viii-Wayne-NJ-d50a9ba00a0e0adf3843aba0ec3eb6d2.htm

But that one was "USED"...lol

I just want to know if it comes with a warranty since it's still new. Lol

This is a first for me to see - a "new" never registered Mark VIII https://www.autolist.com/lincoln-mark+viii#vin=1LNFM92V4WY735923

I just re-read this, looks like the brackets come off the steps. I will see if I can figure that out.

Well, that's interesting and explains why I can't take it apart. However, what about the painted part? I'm not sure it comes out either....if it doesn't come out, does that mean I need to get it painted?Lastly, are the aftermarket motors just the motor? I ask because none of the aftermarket...
