I had a 2001 Cartier edition. It had well over 200,000 miles when I traded it several years ago, and was a great car. The most expensive repair I ever did was to replace the rear air shock assemblies, but even that was cheap using ebay parts.

I THINK that Lincoln dates back to 1979, when Ford redesigned their "Big" cars, as GM had done 2 years earlier. But that is nothing to worry about, as it just means that they had that much longer to get all the little niggling problems out of the basic design. Ford had relatively few "Road to Roof" redesigns, notably 1908 to 1927-Model T-1927-31-Model A, 1932-1948 V-8, 1949-1964, "Postwar" cars, 1979-date Downsized Big cars. I don't remember at present when the std Big Fords, Mercurys & Lincolns were stopped, but it was a sad end to a glorious era....Lincolns were cars unto themselves, basically sharing little w/std Fords or Mercurys, until 1970, when they started using the frames, & basic running gear of big Fords & Mercurys. My beloved Suicide Door cars shared very few parts w/their Ford & Mercury cousins.

Congrats, looks like a clean example of a Town Car. The good news is, you'll never want for parts, between all the limos, taxis, and cop cars, damn near everything is readily available, anywhere.

The only things to note, off the top of my head, are to make sure you maintain the air suspension (if the rear end starts sagging, and you let it go, you might burn up the compressor) and the day will come when you need an intake manifold. Hardly deal breakers.

That's a really nice looking car.
