Mostly people who were established in life and older bought these and garage them until grocery runs of doctors ✅ ups. Retired and these barely are driven so it's easy to find with low miles. Mines has 87k and I got it 5yrs ago with 78k and is 20yrs Essential. It's my 3rd TC and I gained respect cause my belated brother (retired cop) had a new white/blue top 92 but drove a crown Vic while on duty. They're earlier ones ran the 4.6 modular with 2 separate 4 plug but the 03 basically got the interceptor treatment from the P71 police package so it might not be fast as the Cobra but it's a reliable tank as long as the fluids are tended to. My bro was smart going for the tow car as his personal car especially when he explained it's a dressed up cop car 😊 So mines is the 1st model yr of the last run of the full frame cars offered from FORD. Also have the 95 Fleetwood too which was Cadillacs last full frame v8 car.

Here is my family story. When my family came to California from Korea in 2002, my dad bought a used 98 lincoln continental from an old lady. When we moved from Cali to Pennsylvania visiting multiple states and sight seeing all the famous cities like Vegas and National parks on the way and my dad drove the car all the way, up to Niagara, and we moved a year later again to Georgia, but not before driving all the way down to Florida Keys first. By 2016, the car had 390k miles on it and was still running decently until my brother got old enough to drive and rear ended someone while texting. Ever since then, the car started having issues and we had to let it go. My dad was really attached to the car and was very fond of it. Still hasn’t forgotten! I have been in many American, Asian, German luxury vehicles, but nothing ever came close to both ride quality and comfort. Especially the seats. Plush, comfortable, spacious yet enveloping. I would instantly fall asleep and not wake up for hours during the long drives across US. He drives a Porsche cayenne and it is a great car, but he wants to retire now and travel the country and the world with my mom in a very specific vehicle. I know he sacrificed a lot, is still working his ass off to provide, be the best husband and father, and I am grateful for the memories and the experience not many people have. It is my dream to gift him a Lincoln Navigator Black Label and travel the country once more. But first, I need to save up a little, before he retires in a year or two 😅

The car in the video is at least a 2006, as the gauge cluster has a tachometer. Heated seats were available all the way until the model was dropped. The 2001 however, is the first year for the fabled “L” editions. Wonderful machines, they are!

@@TheUnsureFox ya. Definitely the newer style. I like the earlier ones though because they still have the steering box and the old dash seems less crown Vicky to me. Lol. I just know after 2001 heated seats were standard. Winters are cold where I live and it would be nice. Oh well. Life’s rough. Get a helmet.

I love these cars so much. I bought a 2001 cartier as my first car, and since then I've bought two more 90's ones. Got all 3 of them for less thank $10k total, and they're all in really good condition with low mileage. Seriously slept on cars these days, they ride like a dream and have never left me stranded in almost a decade of driving them.

These and the Buick Park Avenue with the 3.8l from the late 90s/early00s belong to a class of extremely underrated and incredibly nice reliable sedans that people overlook because of their 'grandparents car' image. While people are fighting to overpay for toyotas and hondas you can get a literal luxury car from the same era for cheaper.

killing the panther platform was the dumbest move in modern automotive history. FoMoCo had the limousine, rental car, taxi, and law enforcement market on lock. All they needed was an upgrade which they already had. They had the marauder with the more powerful V8 and the lincoln already had the long wheel base. Just start making all the lincolns long wheel base put the more powerful V8 in all lines put a six speed automatic and 6 speed manual in the marauder or SS edition FoMoCO could have kept dominating the marker for years.

I love my 2004 Red Lincoln Ultimate Town Car. It has been a good car. The only issues I've had is a new alternator and that the previous owner tried to do a sparkplug job and I had to deal with the consequences. Blowing a sparkplug is never a good feeling... Still, only 500 bucks for some repairs and it's been flawless since then. My mechanic is a friend and took pictures for me. The previous owner had obviously been doing his own maintenance and barely knew what he was doing. Thankfully, parts for the Panther Platform Cars are very very common and he had the parts in the shop. Most of the things he replaced, I wasn't charged for. He just wanted to take pictures for his buddy that races Crown Vics. I've been taking my vehicles to this mechanic for years and he's always done right be me. Good ones are hard to come by. The 4.6L is a good engine, but it isn't perfect. They have some issues that have needed to be resolved. That being said; they are known issues and are nowhere near as expensive as other platforms to fix. Also, they are relatively easy to work on for basic maintenance. Just do not do what my car's previous owner did and guess. Use instructions and you will do just fine. Replacing an alternator for example is just $100ish and about 10 minutes of work. Super easy!

As Chris said, it's hidden normally. Since he was filming a video he pre-popped the hood from inside the car as normal before he started filming so he could just hop out and pull the secondary release you saw sticking out. Gotta save time where you can when you're trying to squeeze your whole video into 60 seconds.
