Well I looked at the only local MK8 that showed for sale on the internet, this is the car that lead me to post on this page. 113K asking 4400.
Front passenger side susp bag is bad, after a few days it settles down. The previous owner for whatever reason that needs to be smacked, put on a CHEAP wood grain kit that fell off in some places and doesn't fit right. Oh god it looks so bad.
The owner of the car lot immediately said when he came out when I was lookin and I asked " I'm pretty much married to that Lincoln"
He first got it 6 months ago, I'm guessing at a dealer auction. Now its here it has a dirty looking passenger headlight, and a suspension airbag that sits after a while. Everyone walks away. He said he knows he will take a big hit on the car and is long prepared to do it - I told him I will call him when its spring/no snow out.
He said that the motor is very strong along with the tranny but as she sits now everyone walks away from her. I can understand why, that interior wood grain, and the suspension passenger airbag, don't even know what it costs to pay someone to fix it - but I can do it myself
He immediately took 1000 off the price, I said not with the suspension and interior like that. Told him I will call back when the grass is green. He's at the point of placing it at the local auction and cutting his losses soon (very serious about it), he has a small amount of real estate for advertising cars. (carries many Volvos and largers trucks SUVs)
One thing I liked about the dealer was he seemed to be quite honest. Especially the part about he was married to the MK8.
