Yes - too high in my opinion. Look on ebay you'll find them for several thousand less

I might be high but I wouldn't pay more than $8,000 for a 98.

That is way too high. Look in autotrader. I picked up mine with 67,000 miles on it for $1,500. It is true it is a 1995 but the price was too good to resist. It looks and runs like a dream.

also, if you find a modded one, you must realy inspect the car, because there is no guarenty that the owner didnt beat the pants off it. Remember this isnt the avg lincoln that grandma and grandpa took to work, its more like the lincoln your rich uncle takes to the track. Just be careful. There are definatly great ones out there, but there are a few people out there that are scammers and liars.
