I had a Lincoln. What a terrible experience. The car was 2 years old when I bought it with 36k on it. I have to tell you the car was great to look at and nice to drive but I but I never had a good day with the car. The radio broke the first month I had the car, The oil pump drive shaft went 3 times in the 2 years I suffered with the car over a span of two engines.
This was the worst mechanical nightmare I ever owned. After finally getting rid of that forsaken thing I bought a 78' Coupe Deville and drove it to well over 300k without a hitch. I'm not exaggerating. I drove this Coupe from about 100k to over 300k and never worked on the car. Oil changes, tires, brakes but that's about it.
I've never owned anything but Cadillac since. :C
