Used 1988 Lincoln Town Car Signature Series - cars & trucks - by owner -... for sale in Longmont, CO
Vehicle Description
As you can see from pictures, there are a few body marks to keep it from NADA's highest retail value of $9,200 -- or Hagerty.com's "concours" rating of $20,700. However, with nearly everything working on this fully optioned automobile, and considering its excellent condition for a 33 year old car, it is easily above NADA's "average" retail value of $4,400. So, my no-haggle price of $2,750 should be very attractive.... or make a reasonably close offer.
This is a good-running, smooth-riding, large capacity sedan as it sits. The 302ci V8 with electronic fuel injection is known for its reliability, longevity, ease of service, decent performance, and satisfaction with regular gas. The automatic transmission is smooth and tight, and the overdrive was noted by reviewers as a great tool for fuel efficiency. Basic service was last done by the local Ford dealer on Oct 28, 2020 (at 120,301 miles).
Power windows and door locks all work, though the cool driver's door numeric keypad hasn't been tried because no one remembers the codes. Cruise works great. Heat and vent work. Radio works, but the antenna motor stopped deploying the antenna, so AM stations don't tune. My grandson bought an interface that let him feed his phone music via the tape player, and that's all he cared about. Lights all work. Trunk doesn't key-open, but there is an electronic release in the glove compartment that does open the trunk - Gently press the trunk lid down and it'll latch itself. I'm still learning all the gadgets.
What compels me to price this Town Car so low?
1) It's going to need tires soon. What it has will carry the next buyer for a while, but with winter coming, I'd suggest upgrading before real snow arrives.
2) My grandson did not care whether the A/C worked or not, so he turned down the broker's suggestion to recharge the system. The compressor runs without noise, so I do think all it needs is recharging, however I cannot guarantee that.
3) There are a few body marks. I've tried to draw attention to the worst in certain photos. But they'll only bother someone who wishes to restore a classic to near new appearance, and those folks usually work with much more serious damage. It's a very serviceable car as is.
4) The radio antenna issue I mentioned.
5) One radio speaker grill is loose (stored in trunk), and I'm not sure how to properly affix it to the driver's door.
6) The carpet is in good condition, but could use a cleaning, and the driver's side floor mat is worn.
7) The passenger side tail light lens has a small hole in it. A replacement I found online costs $48, but I don't plan to buy one.
8) The surface plastic of the driver's door elbow rest is cracked pretty badly. A car restoring friend of mine (Steve Becker) says there are places that sell replacements for people who rebuild old cars, but I won't be pursuing that.
It's a bargain daily driver at under $3,000. I live in north Longmont. Feel free to reply with any questions you have, but please, no goofy ball offers. The price is $2,750 cash, or make a reasonable offer. If you're a serious buyer, we'll share phone numbers and decide how and when you can see the car. I'll make every effort to suit your schedule. If you've read this whole thing, thanks.
