I have a '94 Lincoln Cont. It has 106,000 miles on it. It is in good condition on the inside and outside, and I like it. It is our third car that we keep in our AZ winter home year around.
It is in need of some engine service inorder to feel safe when going out of town. Problems are overheating, and leaking steering fluid. I would invest up to 1500, in order not to have to dispose of it. We only use it 4 month of the year in winter.
