premium so it's a wash.Ī friend just bought a pristine, low mileage 2001 Cartier Town Car. (Is it true that Ford and Lexus collaborated on that engine design - thus the very similar 4.6 V8 in the first Lexus LS460?) My mileage is about 10% less than the Buick, but I pay 10% less for regular gas vs. Plus, the V8 is infinitely more refined than the Buick's V6. First of all, the only word to describe operating it is "creamy" - the quietness, the ride, the lack of vibration, the way the controls operate, etc. The Buick is a great car otherwisie, but this Lincoln Town Car is in another class entirely. (The engine has to be taken off the engine mounts to install the belts!!!) Makes me apprehensive about long distance travel and ease of repair should something break. I.e., it cost me over $1000 to change out a water pump and serpentine belts. Although there are only 87K miles on the Buick, I've become increasingly concernced that the car is really not service-friendly. I bought this Lincoln recently partly because of growing concerns about a Park Avenue I own. Town car plant no 1 plant in North America for initial quality. Only had two very minor repairs (sensors) in eight years. Lincoln Town Car Reliability And Durability: Pros
