most of the cars i'm looking at to buy are over 100,000 miles on it, will they last a lot longer? Any 200,000 mark viii's around?

thanks,

I have a 94 Mark VIII w/ 94000 miles, it runs as strong now as it did when it was new !! I never considered " souping it up " til I found this site. Now I want to start experimenting , if ever you need to ask a question about your new ( used ) Mark the people here are very friendly and are anxious to help, its a gr8 site, I'm glad I stumbled upon it !!

I bought my 93 mark viii with 156K (this past june) I now have 176K on it and it runs great. I have no fears driving this car anywhere!
 
but then again i got a mark with 46k, and i have had troubles with it till now ,60k. )i dont think my driving style helped a bit)
 
160,000 here , just today, only probs, are minor wear,like oil filter housing gasket, hood button for alarm, cam sensor,plugs,wires,fuel filter,you get the idea......only 2 major items....replaced air ride with lowered coilovers,swaybar,and tires.but still those also are wear items.......runs like new

Don't worry it will down to a few hundred soon... I've never been one to not put any miles on a car.

156K to 176K = 20K

June until July = 8 months

2.5 K per month I have 4 months left Gee!!!! That will be 30K by June which will put me over the 200K mark Mid April!

I also have My Mark VII that I have put 10K on since late June!
 
266k on a 93 & when racing against my 97 LSC, they stayed side by side the whole way.

The average Lincoln in general that are Limo Service Fleet Vehicles in New York City get retired after 350k miles. One of the reasons I bought a Lincoln
 
I've seen 300,000+ on a 93 Mark daily driven from Saco, Maine to Burlington, Massachusetts everyday for 11 years.
