WTB: WTB - 97/98 Mark VIII, Chicagoland area

[conversion02]

As the title says, I'm looking for a 97 or 98 Mark VIII in the Chicagoland area. If anyone knows of anything, please let me know. I'm looking for a DD to keep my Vortech blown bird in the garage and the miles down on my gas guzzling Suburban.

You'd be $ ahead to buy a CA or FL car as it won't have the rust of a mid east/NE car. And well worth the cost of flying to it and driving it back.....UNLESS it was garaged and not driven in the winter!

I live in Chicago and have 2 mark's. Listen to bud. Buy a southern car if you have any interest in making it nice or working on it yourself. I see some nice ones on CL fairly regularly.

+1 on Bud's recommendation. Check AutoTrader.com, FordDirect.com among others. Southern states' cars fare better than up here in the north. I just checked cars.com, found 27 1997-1998 LSC models searching all miles from my zip code here in the Detroit area.

There's a black 97 LSC in Elgin, IL near you that has 24,000 miles and he wants $14,900. However according to NadaGuides.com that 97 LSC with those very low miles tops out at $4,825. Somebody tell the owner that! But then, with these miles and the shape it's in I'm sure you wouldn't want to subject it to daily-driver duties.

Good luck finding your next ride!!

ADDED: There's a 98 black LSC right here in our forums: http://www.lincolnsofdistinction.org/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=33065 in New Jersey, 82K miles for $3750.
