I bought my Mark VIII back in February for $3500 from a dealer with about 95000 miles on it. It had a few slight (lol) electrical problems as some of you probably remember from my topic about a month back, but about $500 later and all is well. There is unfortunately still plenty of work to do aesthetically, though, but I look forward to it.
So in celebration of my newfound membership, and the fact that I just washed her today, I present to y'all, my silver 1996 Mark VIII. No pics of the interior because it really needs to be cleaned out. I generally keep it clean, but there's trash all over the back seat.
I personally think that this is an amazing picture of her.
I suspect that before I got her, she was in an accident. Notice how the "passenger side" of the grille, hood, headlight, and chrome "eyebrow" are all deformed. This saddens me. (PS anyone know an easy way to fix this?)
Good pic of the passenger side.
Yet another example of the aesthetically displeasing aspects of my car. Again, a reason that I got it for so far under bluebook, but I've got no idea how it happened. I can only suppose someone was hugging a curb closely and the front driver airbag dropped out and slammed into the curb. No idea though. Bondo to the rescue!
I don't wax it because I have to park underneath of a tree that bleeds sap all year round, and with my work and school schedule, it's hard enough finding the time to wash it 1-2 times a week like it needs. But I do what I can.
Overall, it's probably one of the worst daily-driver Mark VIIIs on the board, but that doesn't matter, I love it the same. And before too long, it'll look like new.
