"I have always been in love with the second generation Mark VIII, since it was released in 1997. I call one of my MK 8's the Millennium Falcon, especially at night when the neon lights fill the back end with a single glow. I call my Black LSC Darth Vader since it has no chrome and it wears the black mask. The aerodynamics on this car are incredible, in 1993 Ford engineers took a stock MK 8 to the salt flats and ran at 182 Miles per hour, with the stock 295 HP cobra motor. The interior is far ahead of it time and one of the most ergonomic designs ever produced by a US car co. Turn signal diodes inside the side mirrors were 7 years ahead in time. The air suspension was 17 years ahead and Mercedes S Class adopts the design in 2000. The fuel economy at 27 MPG is great and the passing power on two lane roads is out of this world, 60 to 90 in few seconds. It is too bad that Lincoln stopped making this beautiful design to produce a 6000 LBS navigator that drives like a woolly mammoth and looks kike a box of rocks. Hopefully Ford will bring back the Mark 8 ."

"I needed a car to get around and came across this wonderful car with its interior so modern looking leather seats, moon roof and electric everything wow! I bought with some exterior damage but the low mileage won me over. I know it needs some TLC and altho its a down grade for me Im enjoying this car just as much"

"These are great vehicles, but have a number of issues that can be expensive to repair or maintain if you can't do the work yourself. Great online support group with answers to most issues."

"This Lincoln Mark vlll has features that are ahead of it's time. It is fast, smooth and handles well for it's size and weight. It attracts more attention than I am comfortable with but that is a small price to pay."

"it appears that majority of repairs cost about $1,500.00. HID headlight replacement for much less quality halogen lighting. Air ride suspension. And finally I hope air blend doot for a/c-heat. Cadillac Eldorado will outrun it in mountains especially front wheel drive in snow. Would not recommend unless you are prepared to put more money into it than it is worth."

"The Mark VIII is over a decade old and still fits right in with modern luxury and styling. Features like the 4 way power steering column adjustment, memory profiles, and trip computer and diagnostic system are features you still may or may not find in todays so called luxury cars. If you are a tall person you may find your legs a bit cramped in the drivers area."

"Ford Motor Company is struggling? Well ,well....when they quit making this Mark VIII they really rolled over....this framework could easily have been brought along year after year and made better and better but SUV fever won out I think. My other car is a 350 4wd diesel Ford dually Lariat pickup and work truck is an F-550 19,500 GVW. Starting with the '97 Mk. VIII why would anyone buy anything else? This car goes like a bat , handles a four wheel drift and stops like a two ton car should. Mine is now ten years old and runs like new each time I turn the key...I may need an air suspension pump soon and I am sure the transmission will need work (or a fluid change) but who cares? They (that would be Lincoln) just do not make'em like they used to...this car will shine like the sun for at least another ten years...I hope they bring something like it back!! I can recommend it for everything but driver's side visibility...you MUST turn your head to the left and check for overtaking vehicles before changing lanes. (Not that much can overtake it!) My wife and I are happy with this automobile."
