Ok. But that is fake snow

My mechanic has told me that he has consistently serviced panther platform cars up to 500k miles and they are still running strong; That's also why he owns a grand marquis himself. I recently bought a Lincoln town car signature and I have no regrets. Easily one of the most comfortable rides I have ever driven. I am definitely keeping this car as long as possible. Also love the two tone color.

By far the smoothest ride in any car ive ever rode in. Feels like you’re on a cloud.

I'm glad I got mine before more people realize how great they are

It makes me feel really good another young person appreciating cars like these. Maybe we can make cars like these have a comeback. I have an 04 Grand Marquis Ultimate Edition. It has almost all the luxuries of the town car and it rides like a dream. Take great care of that car my man. They don’t make them like that anymore. There’s a dang good reason why old people are driving town cars and grand marquis. It’s because they’ve had 65+ years of driving experience and they know a thing or two about about what’s good to drive and what isn’t. Also: you’re absolutely right about the German cars: they ride rougher, and insanely expensive to maintain. They’re extremely overrated.

Beautiful Lincoln man! I have a 2004 Lincoln Towncar but I want another one they are the greatest cars ever made

The difference is that THAT generation of 4.6 in a Lincoln Town Car has been known to go 500-600K on its original drive train, with only fundamental maintenance and regular movement. They are a hell of a lot cheaper to own, operate and maintain than any Mercedes.

First; thank you for this video it was great. Not only were you spot on with your assessments & conclusions, but buying these vehicles (if you want luxury) makes perfect financial sense. The bodies are solid and the 4.6 L engine is darn near bullet-proof. Second; I live in the Dallas, Texas area and I just bought my wife a used 2011 Lincoln Town Car Signature Edition with a coach roof and only 88K miles. The vehicle was owned by an elderly gentleman who also resides in the Dallas area. He kept it garaged and maintained it at a Lincoln dealership. The exterior looks practically new, the interior is spotless and, get this, in the engine compartment the firewall was just dusty, no grease, no grime anywhere. It purrs like a kitten and drives as if a cloud was resting on down feathers. One of the best vehicle purchases I've ever made.

Thank you for the fine overview. The Lincoln Town Car was the last real American full size luxury car. America no longer makes a full size, four door luxury car with a plush, smooth ride and not expensive to repair. All the cars today look like they were all made in the former Axis Powers.

I pick up my 2004 TC for 5700.00 with 130k...i love TC...it was spotless.

I'm getting a 2004 lincoln town car signature with 55k miles in 2 days from an elderly couple. Can't wait!

I have a pearlescent White 2005 Lincoln Town Car signature limited, almost rolling over 100,000 mi, immaculate condition. Living in Northern michigan, I park it every winter. You just aren't going to find them kind of cars anymore.

Just got a 04 Town Car today!!

It’s great to see another young person with such enthusiasm for these wonderful automobiles! I have a 2001 with 130k miles, and just love it. They are everything you say they are for sure!!

I’m gonna get this as a first car I feel like it’s the perfect first car.

I have a 06 Lincoln town an I wouldn’t have it any way else they are truly the best America car ever mass produce

I’ve always found that the Lincoln town cars are cheaper to buy and usually in better shape than the crown VICS or the Mercury marquis. That’s good for smart people like us, I only wish I had known this years ago, I would’ve never bought any other type of car.

i love these types of cars, big, comfy and reliable.... my brother and i have one each and i'm going a third one, and i'm only 25 years old 😂😂😂

I have owned this car for over five years. I love it! I refuse to buy a new car as long as this car runs. The only drawbacks: the luxury suspension gave out and I replaced it with standard, still a good ride; the interior needs some cosmetic restoration, but that’s cheaper than a new car payment.

The "old people" stereotype is true, and is a GOOD thing. Not wanting to waste money on NEW cars, Used "old folks" cars are a freakin' deal. I have bought many older 1 or 2 owner Buicks and Cadillacs that were nicely equipped AND very well maintained. The more mature set takes great care of the cars they worked their lives up to!

I bought my 2010 Lincoln Town Car Executive L Series from my friend in Portland who owns a limousine company he bought it as a 2nd owner with 273,000 miles I purchased it from him at 371,000 miles with around 140,000 idle miles and I've owned it for 2 years now and I'm at 420,000 miles and 180,000 idle miles still going strong the rear differential are the most expensive part of the whole car equal to a motor and transmission replacement equalling around 1700.00 for the differential with the upgraded limited slip differential or buy the open differential for 200-300 less engines are cheap and transmission are cheap to buy I've seen 80,000 mile motors go for 800-1000 with a full warranty transmission even cheaper 600-900 with a full warranty.

Easiest car Ive ever worked on. Love my Town Car.

Not IF, but WHEN the air bags in the back fail, just replace them with conventional springs from a junk yard crown vic! It'll corner better anyway. ASK ME HOW I KNOW!

Just bought a 08 signature limited with 75k on it. Great car. It's my 4th Lincoln. Glad to see a young guy who loves true luxury cars.

Lincoln towncar is the best car ford ever made it is a shame that they quit making them..I have a 91 model and it's got over four hundred thousand miles on it and it still runs good..I like them because they have a full perimeter chassis.. they are very good cars. It's hard to find them around here anymore

Two tone color is so rare. I only have seen the previous generation in a two tone beige light on too and darker beige on bottom. Pretty nice.

If you take care of that car it will last you forever. At some point the air suspension will go. When that happens the best thing to do is to have it converted to springs. Very cheap, very easy, and almost as comfortable.

The Lincoln is as admired as the Crown Vic. It was a matter of initial cost to acquire that kept sales numbers lower. I've owned 5. Engines fire up first revolution. Never get hot. Transmissions tight as a drum, silky smooth shift. Panther platform shares some Jaguar and some police crown vic geometry. Keeping my bright silver frost on black leather.

Just got mine a few days ago, a 1999 signature series with 160000 mi for $ 2200.00.

I love the town car. Im definetely trying gonna try to get onre right now

Have a 2002 Lincoln Town Car, 280k and still going strong. Only $600 in repairs over 5 years of owning it.

Love your enthusiasm for the Lincoln Town Car. I’ve driven Town Cars and Grand Marquis most of my life and have made the same arguments you do when people say I’m driving a “old man car”. I just bought a 2003 Executive Edition with only 49,000 miles owned by an Air Force Colonial that is in excellent condition with the most complete maintenance records I’ve ever seen. I paid $4200 but that’s well under book for the condition and mileage. Don’t let everyone in on how great Town Cars are though, it’s getting harder and harder to find a good, low mileage one at a decent price because the good ones sell the same day they’re posted.😀

That is a nice buy there, and I use to drive German cars and they are so much drama and stayed in the shop and VERY expensive to maintain.

My nephew has 97 Marguis with 270,000 miles and purrs like a kitten.I have a 2002 towncar 66,000 original miles it purrs good.Lincoln towns are very good cars.Goes in any gear smooth,changes smooth and the 4.6 is no joke either.Keep up the maintenance.

A significant reason so many FoMoCo "Panthers" were used by taxi/livery services (and the Police, in the case of the Ford Crown Victoria) is that they not only have a well proven robust drivetrain, they are also of body on frame construction (only TRUCKS are made this way now), and are rear wheel drive. This combination is the most durable AND easy to repair setup. Repairs tend to quicker, easier and faster. (and cheaper!). Taxi (and police) fleets can't suffer a lot of "downtime". These are the SAME features that make these a great choice for "Regular Joes" too. And, if one is so inclined, a normal (not NASA trained technician!) guy can do most repairs themselves.

Damn you got a rare town car, in 03 and 04 they made a limited signature. It have some of the options of the Cartier and ultimate.

I have a 2003 signature series with only 96,000 miles Love my car

Elderly people love Lincoln's because they have the highest safety crash rating.. and they are very comfortable..👍👍👍

I have had about 5 of these now... and I keep coming back to them. Currently I have an 08 with 70k miles on it. Something about this 4.6 L engine. Literally, they don't give you any problems what so ever. And they are truly well built. Just put gas in and go. By the way, great gas mileage on the free way. And ok gas mileage in the city... tolerable considering it's size and ride. Comfort!

Fun fact, 2010 2011 Town Cars, no air suspension! I was shocked when the mechanic told me. I had just warned him about the switch in the trunk to turn it off. My 2010 did not have it! Fun fact 2, i did not notice the difference!

You a real one bruh, knew I wasnt the only That thinks Lincoln town cars are of the best vehicles. I own a baby blue 06 Signature.

I paid a LOT more than $2000 for my LTC a few months ago, but I found a 2004 with only 4,500 (not 45,000!) miles on the clock and still paid less than a third the original sticker price. Like new inside, outside and underneath without any hint of rust. I figure if it lasts me for the next 10-15 years without a car payment, I'll be laughing all the way to the bank. Everything works like new and yes, it's incredibly comfortable, roomy, relaxing and enjoyable to drive. And yeah, plenty of room under the hood to work on the engine. What's not to love? Even my teenagers love it and want me to find them a Panther platform for their first cars now. And yes, there were generally only 4 customers for these Panther platform cars - 1- Taxi companies, 2 - Livery/Limo companies, 3 - Police (FCVs P71s) and 4 - Old people (LTCs).

Its a beautiful reliable car. I rather have this car than a Mercedes any day

You're wise beyond your years. Before I was 65, I thought I was too young for a Town. My '06 cost way more than 2K, and I put more than 3K in. I wouldn't trade it for anything under 40K. 30+ years in the motor trade, some of it working with Porsche-Audi.

This video couldn't have come at a better time. Panther prices skyrocketed after this video and ones similar to it.

I love my 2001 Town Car, no collision insurance required, license plates based on value are cheap and these cars are so bullet proof.

I paid on $110 on Ebay for a rear shock conversion kit. Something to think about when air suspension goes. Also be prepared to change the mostly plastic intake manifold. Own 6 of them in the last 25 years. Also you'll be changing out the ignition coils a few times also. If you don't do these yourself, your going to get nailed $$ at a garage or dealership. Also upgrade to the more expensive intake manifold when the time comes. They always blow out.

I just bought one . I love the town car its the best deal around

Just joined the lincoln team on friday 👌 best choice

I don't need a car to slalom thru "the twisties" and can go 200 Mph in 3 seconds but rides like a skateboard, I have a cheap old motorcycle for the more "sporting" fun urges I get. I also don't need an SUV, (I have an ACTUAL truck for any off road use or towing/hauling.) I need a reliable, easy/cheap to fix, comfortable, quiet car so I can tolerate my (usually 15 Mph!) daily Pittsburgh commute with as little to worry about as possible. The Town Car (or really any of the FoMoCo "Panther" cars) is perfect in that role. I wish they STILL made CARS (actual sedans, NOT "crossovers") like this!

Thanks for this 100% simple make sense, no idiotic music review of an absolutely well built car. Thanks boss. Tek time pan di wet road, no rev out launch.

My 2011 was bought brand new by the limo company and parked in storage until 2014 when it was first registered. Hit 200k, NYC shut down so the last of them were being sold off this year regardless of mileage. A couple of drivers still have them and refuse to get rid of them because clients will demand a Town Car and turn you down if you don't have one, period. Too bad they all ripped out the air suspension, but you can reinstall it for a couple hundred. Coils are still fine but aren't the same. Ford didn't put airbags in just for the hell of it.

Bought mine for 800$ with 116k miles really clean, Florida car so no rust at all no dents or scratches, it’s a 2001 Cartier edition interior in good condition just got some little creases from the sun since it doesn’t have any tint on the windows.

I own two Panthers 99 Grand Marquis and 07 Town Car Designer Edition Couldn't be happier nothing but oil changes and tires. Drove the Merc for two years then upgraded to the Town Car, Parents have been driving the Merc for the last three years no problems both vehicles have under 100K miles and for both combined $12,000...

One of the best cars FORD ever made! Funny when I’m parked out shopping I get note of phone numbers from people wanting to buy it. It’s a 2000 Beautiful car

A friend of mine, who was a used car wholesaler, preferred the '90 Town Car as it had the "old" 5.0 V-8 (no plastic intake runners) with the new for '90 body style. The rear air-suspension often fails, but we replaced them with conventional shocks. I had a '92 Crown Vic, great car and somewhat better handling than the Town Car. The 4.6 was a better engine for these cars, very smooth and responsive.

I have an '04 Town Car also, it is my 4th one in 20 years because I was upgrading every 5 years. These Town Cars are "REAL CARS" & they are the "BEST" DAMNED CARS money can buy.

I have a 2007 with 68k. I love it. Had a brand new 2003. This is my third one.

Same here man. Im a young guy only 27, happily driving my old man car. Got an 06 Merc with 81k on it for $4500 and every inch of it is immaculate. Showroom condition. Best vehicle I've ever owned. The ride is phenomenal, especially on new Orleans roads. Never had anything that handles potholes so well.

You are absolutely right ... God Bless you

Start in 2003-2011 those cars are my favorite car ever, and also grand marquis start in 2006-2011, and crown victoria, 2000-2011 Cadillac DeVille, and again those cars are my favorite car ever.

I just bought one Thursday

i love these so much,and im a young person, but the difference is mine was 8k in 2022, not super happy about that but the car is near mint with the LWB and a back landau top. just make sure you take care of the gasket where the cabin air intake is, as every single towncar will have a bad one sooner or later, and my 07 just had to have the gasket replaced, and the seats and floor taken out to drain the water and dry the soaked carpet. so definitely avoid that headache if you can

This got to be realesed next year or this year and the Cadillacs Dts. More beautiful American cars

I got a 03 Lincoln just like this with 176 thousand miles on

just bought one and I’m blown away, very good car

Great cars, low priced, famously reliable, parts are plentiful and mostly cheap. Easy to find them with low miles, super clean and in great shape because many are/were owned by easy-driving older folks -- *plenty* of room, huge trunks, not packed with tech (which means less stuff to break) but just enough luxury to please (leather, heated seats, old school clock in the middle of the dash, etc. ) Mine has traction control that can be turned on/off and when I hit the blinker a light illuminates in the direction I'm turning. Another neat thing that some folks don't know about is that I can cut the radio on with the car off and key out.... but when I open the door it automatically cuts the radio off so that I don't leave it on by accident. Cruises down the road like a recliner on a cloud, perfect for long trips. Dammit, just wish my 07 had the sun-roof! Rear wheel drive, body-on-frame built. And hey, if you wanna pimp it out... throw some 22s or spokes on it 👍. Love mine. As for the reliability -- yeah, plenty of em with several hundred thousand miles used as livery cars. Two thumbs up.

Only the 2006 to 2011 lincoln town cars got the realible transmissions. Yours like mine has the 4r70w same as the crown vics. They had bad front pumps in the transmissions. 4r75s got the revised transmissions.

Nice video, i own the same model myself. @ 8:40 you had me cracking as if the car was listening " you know it might not be...as beautiful " 😭 I felt the same as the car

Notice the Rain Sensing wipers at about 9:30 working as they should..(Automatically) The box is right below the rear view mirror on the windshield..I had a 2003 as well but mine was the basic Executive level with no heated seats or goodies but still was an awesome car!! I loved it above all the cars I have owned over the years which included several Town Cars ( 85, 87, 88, 89, 03, 04)

Good luck with it. You maids a great choice. The airbags for the suspension costs 500 bucks and it is easy to install.

Nice video -great cars! Another great bargain car to look out for though is the underrated 95-02' Lincoln Continental with the 32v Intech. Very ballsy -durable motors, (275hp 98 to 02) shared with the Mustang Cobra, Mark 8, Navigator and police interceptor. Did not have any of the GM Northstar teething issues which are all in the junk heap now, why you see so few of them around anymore:-) Have a loaded 02' Conti' I bought in 2012 with 44K mikes! -107K now, and still in near mint shape -gets decent mileage -a little better than a Town Car, and the thing is actually quick and very comfortable. Also can tow with these- do have a class II hitch on mine. Highly recommend this car as an alternative, getting a little harder to find now but you occasionally find old lady driven ones for pretty cheap and in good shape, like the Town cars.

Great video and you’re 100% correct. I have a 2005 Signature LTD “pro series.” About to put it up for sale if anyone interested. Has 101K miles and is as clean as this video describes all TC’s 🙂. Asking 5K obo. Located in central IA.

Thanks for helping me choose a Town Car....love my cartier....had to replace the valve seals at 90k.....watch out for that...

One of my dream cars😍

Dope vid I’m young guy considering a Lincoln town car

great review!

Beautiful Lincoln I have model 2006 140000km..still new ..all my life drive lincoline..from 1993 the best car in 93

I have a 92 town car..when im.on the highway it feels like a water bed

Thanks for your opnion on the Lincoln Town Cars. I'm currently looking to find a TC or Mercury Gand marquis for myself. You can find some German cars within that budget, but for the parts? they are way more expensive. Your video is 3 years old so the budget went up a little higher but not by much. I'm finding out that a lot of younger people like yourself are driving these around and that's cool. It was either passed on from their grandfather or father as their first car even. It can also be that they are finding one out there used. That old saying "They Don't Make It Like This Anymore" is very true. Proof is in the pudding that they are still out there running.

The "only benefit in a S class" or whatever is marketing. If you have a brand, or if you're trying to project success then a 2nd or 3rd hand Lincoln isn't up for the challenge. If you want a decent car this is a pretty decent choice.

Price for ones in good condition have been increasing big time....i did pick up a pristine 2004 ultimate w 60000 miles from a Lincoln dealer....listed at 7900...bought for 6000...

I'm buying a 2007 Lincoln Town Car Designer series with the landau top

One of the few cars people bought for the rest of their lives. I think I'll get one.

WELL DONE....love my town car

I want one. Found an 04 with 77k miles and thinking about buying it this week.

your car is great! I also have a Designer 2006 and I don't know if this model has incorporated remote start or not.. There is a device behind the rearview mirror, but I don't know what it is. 

I fully agree 100 percent takecare.

While I am not personally a fan of the looks of the last generation Lincoln Town Car (something about the tail lights just don't look right to me), I agree that the Panther Platform IN GENERAL is a really good car to have as a daily, and the Town Car has quite a lot of useful bits to offer to those driving the Crown Victoria and Grand Marquis (I personally being the proud owner of an '09 Crown Vic P71). Would be nice to get some parts from the Town Car to upgrade the interior of my Crown Vic some day, especially if I can get electric, heated seats and the center console.

I don’t know where he finds 03 town cars for $2,000.00? Its 2021 and I can’t find one less than $7k here in Jersey. There’s no doubt these are dinosaurs, last of the true body on frame American luxury cars. Our 95 Town Car is the most comfortable and reliable car we’ve owned.

You're lucky to get one with a sun roof. They're aren't many.

Over the years I have owned several Lincoln Town Car. They are very luxurious, but I still prefer my Cadillac Eldorado's.

Had a 79 town car longest one ever made with a sun roof stupid me sold it

I’m getting a muffler delete on my 06 this week can’t wait

This guy looks both 15 and 35 at the same time!

Just bought one getting a shipped :)

Bought one right around the time you made this video - was at 544K and I had to junk it the past week. I really want a cleaner one but prices are through the roof.

First the town car is the best car ever built Yes they were limo's and taxi's And some are still in use today Some have 500k and up

I bought my 2000 Lincoln Town car with really low miles for $3,100 and then I ended up buying a 1994 mercury grand marquis and for a second car I got the GS so I can have a good work vehicle.

I love the ride and body style.
