#1 Don't tell me about honda civic, cause most of you reccomend it but to me it looks like piece of sh.it, why would you wanna drive something you totally dislike.

I found 1993 Lincoln Mark V8 81K miles excellent condition, I fell in love with this car, I know that it eats a lot of gas and expensive repair but what else do you think about this model and what would be bargain price for it

I love those but its gotta be black :)

The only thing I know bad about them is at some point the air bag suspension will need replaced and I don't think it was cheap. Other than that I think they were pretty reliable and being domestic and RWD I don't think it should be to expensive to repair.

I totally agree with you about driving what you like and not getting something you dont. The car I really wanted was a Mercedes 450SL, but I had basically decided that it was too impracticle. I was already to buy a 1992 BMW 735i and I was like you know nuts to this I am going to get what I want and I decided to go with a 450SL like I wanted. Sure its a gas guzzler, but it was the same price as the BMW and it will kick a$$ to have a convertable.

oooh i've always loved those mark VIII's. the 97 model with HID headlights and neon tailights is the best. it was the first car in the US to have HID headlights..

So, you don't want anyone to recommend what you don't like. You don't care about gas mileage, and you don't care about expensive repair costs. So what exactly are you looking for in this thread? A pat on the back?

OK, good job, great choice, buy this car. :D :D :D
