Hey,
My name is Dave and I'm the new owner of a black, fully loaded 2001 Lincoln Continental. This is the second Lincoln Continental that I have owned. A couple years ago I briefly owned a cream color 99 Continental with the more basic trim package. I bought this one from a used car dealership for $4600 out the door, the car has 80,000 miles and literally every single option in the book. It's not 100% showroom perfect (has some small scratches/scrapes and a few other issues) but drives smoothly and looks quite nice overall for a 13 year old car. Pics are posted here. Let me know what you think of it. ** I bought those killer floormats at Autozone by the way (the only place I have ever seen them sold).
I'm also curious as to how you all think I did in the price department with this car. The dealer was selling it for $4900 but in the ad that they posted for it on Craigslist they accidentally listed the price for a 97 Continental that they were also selling ($3000). Because of this mistake they knocked off a thousand for me. Pricing for 98-02 Continentals seem to vary widely with private parties selling fairly good (or fairly bad condition) Continentals for around $3000 and dealers selling ones similar to my car for between $4 and 8K. Overall I like this car though there are some issues that will need to be addressed on it in the near future. But what the hell I figure you can't go wrong with a big, black, chromed out 90's land yacht like a Lincoln Continental.
