Greetings from Bellevue WA,
My name is Dmitry and I am happy to join the club of proud Lincoln Mark VIII owners. Earlier this month I bought silver 1997 Mark VIII LSC with (this is not a typo) 3200 miles on the odometer. All imaginable options including the phone, everything stock except the battery and 20 yo tires I did not want to ride on.
Long time ago when I lived in Saint Petersburg Russia I remember passing parked Mark VIII every now and then and I'd often stop and marvel at the uncompromising beauty of this car. Always wanted to drive one, never hoped to get one with such a low mileage. This car I bought in Ohio was owned by old lady who broke her hip and could not get in and out comfortably. The car was mostly garaged until she died and then her daughter offered it for eBay motors auction.
I hope this car has a lot of life still left in it, I know that spare parts are getting harder to get and I am not a mechanic myself.
The only thing I need to fix right now seems to be 10 disc changer in the trunk. It seems to be never used yet head radio unit displays NO DJ when I press CD button, seems it can't detect the changer.
Might need to ask around later, maybe someone wants to sell working unit.
Hope to make friends here.
Cheers,
Dmitry
