08-DEC-2024 Have owned my 94 Mark VIII for over 25+ years - Yes, they are expensive to maintain. Reliability is OK as long as good P/M is followed. Great looking vehicle. Mine is still Air Ride suspension (replaced twice). If somebody is considering one, I would change over to Spring suspension. other then Fixing many other items as you can`t get an alternative vehicle (for the price if you can find a clean one) that looks as nice. Hard to find these Mark VIII`s in good condition. Younger generation think these Marks are New as they most likely have never been interested in following them as a more mature individual does/has. Engine is bullet proof if taken care of and not dogged out (driven normal) - not 120,000 miles yet. Not bad for a 30 year old vehicle. Was ahead of it`s time mechanically. Interior still looks modern just not all the bells and whistles as some of today vehicles

Great Cars....Loved Since New
Loved the Mark 8's so much that I have two, a mint '94 and a '97 "driver". Have had both for over 16 years and aside from converting the suspension to coils, the '94 has been virtually maintenance free. It's 25 yrs old, garage kept and only has 58k miles. (I drive the '97 more because it's less "perfect", and I'm still driving a Mark" without worrying so much about door dings, mileage etc. ) These cars are a dream to drive, lots of good American V8 power in a full size classic rear drive coupe!!!! What's not to like. Build quality, cosmetics and comfort are first rate, and all the electronic bells and whistles work flawlessly. It's got everything I want in a car....so much so that I can only think of three modern American cars that could come close for me.......the Caddy V8 Coupe, Dodge Challenger Hemi and the Mustang GT, all are much costlier for about the same level of personal driving satisfaction. Great car......way ahead of its time and an unbelievable value today, if you can still find a good one.

Ooooooohhhhhh
This is a GROWN MAN'S vehicle.... hands down! I've owned mine for two years, pulling out to do GROW UP things...golf course, weekend driving, summer fun, early fall dinner dates, etc. It has omph, but why bother flooring it? It's for cruising, styling being imoressive...IT'S A LINCOLN!!! Treat as such, beieve me it still turns heads young and especially old, experienced...that let's you know you have a SOON TO BE CLASSIC.Only MB still makes a large luxury coupe that has the performance , smoothness and room for rear passengers...IF YOU CAN AFFORD ONE, you see a Mark 8 in good condition GRAB IT!!! Nevermind a 6 series, that's performance...this is a best bet for a used luxury coupe...IT'S BIG MAN FRIENDLY TOO!!!

My first car
I have had this car for about two weeks now. I picked it up cheap with 94k miles on it. I have nothing really to complain about. It handles well even in rain and it has been a comfortable ride thus far. If you are looking for an inexpensive, fast, comfortable car then I recommend this vehicle hands down.
