The engine also had a fair amount of rust on it as well. Without a sound frame it doesn't matter if everything else is perfect (which, of course it wasn't). Who knows when the frame would fail and when it does someone is probably dead. Where it wasn't rusted, it was just gone, also a very, very unsafe situation. But the mechanic called me out as soon as he got it off the ground and showed me the deal-breaker the frame is very badly rusted, it looked like swiss cheese. The A/C never cooled off, but if it was winter, no problem, it worked as good as the heater! I figured I'd get the mechanics estimate on fixing those issues before I decided what to do, because the engine was very strong and responsive and the transmission showing no problems either. The brakes were the worst I've ever driven with - totally unsafe actually. The trip to the mechanic was 9 miles one way.
Before I left the lot I found that both windows on the drivers side were non operational. I told him I needed to take it to a mechanic for a pre-purchase inspection and he said OK to that. The interior was in very good condition for a car of this age and mileage, just like the photos showed. Aside from a couple things on the exterior, which I considered minor, I was happy with it. So I flew out and fell in love with it when I saw it. So I put a deposit down with my debit card over the phone when he assured me I'd get it back if the car didn't pass muster. I live in Colorado and told him that before I could commit to flying out to look at it I needed to know if there is anything wrong mechanically with the car and does the A/C work and do all the windows work? He said everything works and no issues whatsoever. My first step was to order the Carfax report and it showed no accidents or unusual or negative problems, so I was encouraged. I found the Burgandy 2003 lincoln town car in an online search. Visit our website for more information and photos on this or any of our other vehicles or call us today for a test.
