1997 Mark VIII LSC, silver, $7995, Detroit area

[tbirddmnd]

I saw a silver 1997 Mark VIII LSC in the Detroit suburb of Wayne at a used car lot on Michigan Avenue called Law Auto. Once I got in to work I went to the website and found that it has 41,933 miles on it and they're asking $7,995. To see pics and more info click here:

It appears to be pretty clean, has a sunroof, gray leather interior, can't tell if it has heated seats or not as there are no pics of the inside.

If someone's looking for a low-mileage Mark VIII LSC and silver is your color, then here it is.

That is rare, per the ad it is a 1998 Lincoln Mark VII LSC Coupe, lol
I would then have to assume that price is a misprint as well.

You got THAT ($) right! Hope that car came up from the south where there ain't no salt!

Whoever buys it, make sure you have an Oasis run on it as a condition of sale.

Oasis is a no go on 10+ yrs old vehicles.

The price stickers on the windshield did indicate $7995.

Just run the VIN with NADA, www.nadaguides.com , which is what the banks and dealers use as opposed to KBB.

I agree, according to NADAguides.com here are the prices for this 97 LSC with leather, JBL, sunroof and the indicated mileage:

Rough Trade-In: $1,912

Average Trade-In: $2,662

Clean Trade-in: $3,312

Clean Retail: $5,187

Whoever goes to see this car should bring a print-out of the sheet with those prices on it and present it to the sales guy. There's quite a difference from $5,187 to $7,995 - clearly a markup of $2,800 or so, maybe more considering they're probably in the car for $3,500. All this should be after a test-drive and close-up inspection of course. It would be an interesting conversation at the desk.

ADDED: Checking the VIN 1LNFM92V5WY704731 for this vehicle, it does come up as a 1998 LSC so it's a typo on someone's part.
