Hi,

l am thinking of buying an old 1990 Lincoln Towncar and l was wondering how reliable it would be. l would be traveling with it from Kansas to Iowa... the owner did put in a new muffler and a new used transmition... l heard they are high maintenence... but does that mean they are unreliable... would it be worth a shot?

Its in such great condition... its only 1500 and l dont know what to do... Oh... and it was burning oil.. how bad is that?

l would not touch that car with a 10' pole. It is a gas hog.. too old and if it is burning oil.it is just a matter of time before the motor goes. The maintanence bill on that car would eat you alive.
Wait for something better.

nope

your not serious are you? l mean this is a joke, right? you want to buy a big gas guzzling car that is almost twenty years old and burns oil, to travel from Kansas to Iowa well good luck because you will need it. A well cared for car would be fine and just so you know a well cared for car does not burn oil.

l prefer luxury without concern for the cost to run,all cars burn gas big time,it depends on ur driving abilities & how often.There were a lot of problems with the early '90 is edition model Lincolns.This pristine auto may have been a limosine service vehicle.And remember,the more options & gadjets the more problems.$1500.00 is a good price but u may end up spending $5000.00 to get this car in great mechcanical condition,it sounds like u may need to rebuilt engine soon.After all mechanical repairs it will be a great car.The engine in that model is smaller than a pick up.Lincoln is my absolute fravorite auto!
