Is the Lincoln town car a reliable car?
Hi, I am thinking about buying myself a 2003-2005 Lincoln town car. I want a white one so it won't be a fleet (Most likely but i will look at the history report to make sure) . I love the luxurious look in the interior and exterior. Plus my father said it drives very smoothly since it has air suspension. My mom is very against it since I am 18 and she thinks that its too big and its rear wheel drive and plus its an old mans car. I don't want the lincoln continental because it looks very dated and looks like the ford taurus (which it practically is).
I drove in my friends mercury marquis which doesn't have air suspension and it felt less comfortable and you were able to feel the road a little bit (the lincoln town car we rented years ago you didn't and you barely felt pot holes or uneven roads)
Here are my questions:
The question is; are they very reliable?
How long would the air suspension last and how would i maintain the suspension?
Is this car driven by mostly old people?
Also are they expensive to maintain?
Also are they hard to park (I usually back into my spots so If i do purchase the car i will get one with back up sensors).
Is the turning very wide in the car?
Will it feel very wobbly when driving like I am driving a boat or does it feel like a regular car?
Also, will the traction control prevent me from losing control when hydroplaning or in the snow (Like over steering)?
