This auction is for a 2006 Lincoln Town Car Signature L long wheelbase sedan that has been used as a limo. The car has had over $5. 00 worth of service and maintenance. details of which are further down in the description. so you can buy it today. and put it to work tomorrow. That’s important if you have a limo service as prom. graduation. and wedding seasons are just around the corner. Whether you are buying the car for public use as a limousine or sedan service. for business use such as a real estate agent. or just as a personal vehicle. the “L” version of the Town Car adds an additional six inches of rear passenger legroom that your customers. friends and family will greatly appreciate. It takes a Town Car that has plenty of rear seat room to begin with. to new levels of comfort and space that few passengers ever get to experience. If you’re going to purchase a limo. the L is really the best choice to present a professional appearance. keep clients happy and insure repeat business. There is usually very little if any price difference between standard length and L models so it would be foolish to settle for anything but an L. In fact. the Signature L was the top of the Town Car line for 2006 and the most expensive at over $51. 00. Much more expensive in 2006 then the Executive and Executive L models. the Designer Series. the standard Signature and even the Signature Limited. The car is finished in Black clear coat with the Black leather interior. It’s powered by a 239 HP and 287 lb. -ft. of torque Triton 4. 6L V8 engine known for it’s high power output. good economy and inherent smoothness. It features two chain driven overhead cams with hydraulic lifters for smooth running and low maintenance. coil on plug ignition for all weather reliability. multiport fuel injection for maximum power and economy and drive by wire throttle for precise engine control. Introduced in 1991 and continuously updated. this 4. 6L modular engine has proven to be one of Fords most durable and versatile power plants ever made. It has served reliably in luxury cars. sports cars. police cars. vans. SUV’s and full size trucks. In taxis and limos. it’s not uncommon to see these engines go well over half a million miles. In fact. CLICK HERE to see a 2007 with over 700. 00 miles that sold here last year. The engine is mated to an automatic transmission with overdrive along with All-Season Traction Control. It has a low first gear that provides brisk acceleration from a stop. while the high overdrive top gear allows for effortless highway cruising and excellent fuel economy for such a large car. When driven with restraint. you can average over 20 mpg and expect mid to upper 20’s mpg on the highway. That’s something most owners of other V8 powered professional cars only dream about. And it runs great on just regular gas! The traction control system lets you drive through snow and ice covered roads as confidently as a front wheel drive car. It uses the components from the ABS system and the electronic throttle to regulate engine torque to enhance traction with wheel slip of one tire of the vehicle being counteracted by applying brakes to that wheel causing torque to be sent to the wheel with the most traction. Rounding out the Town Car is a steering and suspension system made to comfort your customers as well as the driver. Start with a speed-sensitive variable-assist rack and pinion steering for quick maneuvering and easy parking on congested city streets. Add a front independent suspension with coil-over shocks and a thick anti-roll bar for a smooth ride. then end with a simple and reliable live axle rear suspension with anti-roll bar to transfer all that power to the road and air shocks to level the load no matter how many passengers or how much luggage you carry. In addition. the Town Car has large diameter heavy-duty disc brakes all around to provide fade-free stopping from all speeds while the anti-lock function helps maintain control during emergency situations. This Town Car is fully equipped with all the desirable safety. comfort and convenience features and equipment including: 4. 6L V8 engine Automatic transmission All-Season Traction Control with ON/OFF switch Air conditioning. Dual Zone with Electronic Automatic Temperature Control and outside temperature display Separate rear passenger temperature and fan controls and air vents Power windows with drivers one-touch down Power door locks with SmartLock function Remote keyless entry with trunk opening and trunk closing and panic button Drivers door keyless entry keypad 40/20/40 front seating and fold-down center armrest with storage compartment and separate fold-out dual cup holders 8-way power driver and passenger seats with power lumbar adjustment and power reclining seat back Heated front seats Three person memory drivers seat including outside mirror and pedal position memory Soft grain premium leather upholstery Embroidered Lincoln logo in front seats Dual front seat back storage pockets Power pedals HomeLink® garage door/gate opener system for up to three devices Cruise control with steering wheel mounted switches Tilt steering wheel High polished burl wood trimmed and leather wrapped steering wheel Instrument cluster with tachometer and multi-function message center Displays for compass. average and instant mpg. distance to empty. etc. plus vehicle warning messages Factory Soundmark® Audiophile sound system with cassette and CD player Intermittent wipers Tinted glass Wide lower body side body-color cladding Chrome accent trim on bumpers and body side cladding Chrome outside door handles Front door storage pockets Additional front door storage compartments beneath armrests Dual illuminated front visor vanity mirrors Dual power outside mirrors Heated outside mirrors Electrochromic auto-dimming interior rearview mirror Automatic headlights Headlights off delay Clear lens headlights with jewel effect reflectors Cornering lights Daytime running lights Illuminated entry Dual front map/dome lights with theater dimming Rear passenger reading lights Dual illuminated rear fold-down vanity mirrors Heated rear seats Rear fold-down center armrest with storage compartment and dual 12 volt power outlets Rear passenger control switch for front passenger seat fore and aft movement Rear passenger control switches for audio and climate functions Rear seat center fold-out dual cup holders Reverse sensing system aka rear parking assist Overhead passenger entry/exit assist grab handles Stainless steel LINCOLN logo sill plate trim Rear window defroster 17 inch aluminum wheels 225/60R17 Continental ContiProContact tires Automatic rear level control Battery run-down protection Trunk light Lined trunk lid Power trunk lid release and trunk lid closing assist button in drivers door Fuel door release button in drivers door SecuriLock® anti-theft security system with engine immobilizer Child seat anchors (LATCH) system Dual-stage front airbags with front passenger sensing Front side airbags Front seatbelt pretensioners Adjustable height front seatbelt side anchors Glow in the dark emergency trunk release handle Speed sensitive rack and pinion steering with variable assist Front and rear sway bars Anti-lock brakes with 4 wheel discs Dual exhaust system And many more items too numerous to mention.

I had any significant body issues taken care of including repairing and refinishing the rear bumper for numerous little scratches. the left quarter panel for some long deep scratches and the right fender for a shallow dent. All the glass. moldings. emblems and trim are in great shape as well. The paint itself is beautiful and shiny. It has been cleaned with Meguiar’s Smooth Surface Clay System. polished with Meguiar’s Mirror Glaze cleaner polish and topped off with Meguiar’s Ultimate Synthetic wax for a deep high gloss shine. The interior is in great shape too with no excessive wear. stains or dirt. The leather is smooth and supple with no rips or cuts. The driver’s seat was rebuilt with a new cushion support and foam insert so there is no sag like so many other high mileage cars drivers’ seats have. The engine compartment is very clean and has been fully detailed while the trunk looks like its had light use. Mechanically it runs and drives great as well. The engine pulls strong and yet feels silky smooth both at idle. while accelerating and throughout the cruising range and the transmission shifts like it’s supposed to. The steering wheel is on dead center going down the road with no shakes or vibrations at speed. the brakes are firm with no pedal pulsations or pulling to one side when stopping. and the suspension is tight. The A/C blows ice cold. It has a matching set of four premium Continental ContiProContact tires size P225/60ZR17 with good tread all around. I would say they have a little more than half their tread left. These tires combine good looks and handling with low noise and a smooth ride while providing all-season versatility and year-round traction resulting in excellent handling and a comfortable drive. With an exceptionally high 540 treadwear rating and an original 80. 00 mile treadlife warranty. you should get over 40. 00 more miles out of this set. They have been balanced with coated stick-on balance weights mounted on the inside of the wheel for a super clean look. These weights won’t corrode and turn ugly like cheap uncoated weights. The spare tire and jack doesn’t look like they have ever been used. The car has been fully checked out and serviced with over $5. 00 worth of new or recent parts. maintenance and repairs with original Ford. Motorcraft. or other name brand parts so that only your enjoyment rather than your immediate attention will be required on delivery. And that doesn’t even include the amount spent on paint and bodywork to get it as clean as it looks. Some of the items checked or serviced include: New Mobil 1 synthetic oil change New Motorcraft oil filter New Victor Reinz oil filter adaptor gasket New Motorcraft air filter New throttle body cleaning New MAF sensor cleaning New Motorcraft fuel filter New Motorcraft Platinum spark plugs Motorcraft battery Recent Dayco serpentine belt New Motorcraft Premium Gold coolant flush and change New Dayco upper radiator hose New Dayco lower radiator hose Recent front brake pads Recent front brake rotors New Bendix Ceramic rear brake pads Recent rear brake rotors New Centric parking brake shoes New Carlson parking brake hardware kit New parking brake adjustment New Valvoline Synthetic Dot 4 brake fluid flush and change New Cardone steering rack New Ford upper steering shaft New Ford lower steering shaft New Mevotech lower ball joints New Mevotech lower control arm front bushings New Mevotech lower control arm rear bushings New Mevotech upper control arms with ball joints and bushings New KYB front shocks New Moog front springs New Mobil 1 synthetic grease job New Motorcraft Mercon V transmission flush and change New Motorcraft transmisson filter New Victor Reinz transmission pan gasket New Mobil 1 synthetic 75W140 rear axle fluid change New Permatex Gear Oil RTV New power window master switch New Ford drivers seat cushion support Photos of some of the parts replaced and service done: Oil change: Oil filter: Oil filter adaptor gasket: Air filter: Throttle body cleaning: MAF sensor cleaning: Fuel filter: Spark plugs with the proper amount of anti-seize on the threads: Battery: Serpentine belt: Coolant flush and change until water drains clear: Upper radiator hose: Lower radiator hose: Front brake pads: Front brake rotor thickness; 28 mm is new: Rear brake pads: Rear brake rotor thickness; 19. 2 mm is new: Parking brake shoes: Parking brake hardware: Parking brake adjustment: Brake fluid flush and change: Steering rack: Upper steering shaft: Lower steering shaft: Lower control arm parts: Lower ball joint: Lower control arm front bushing: Lower control arm rear bushing: Upper ball joint: Upper control arm bushing: Upper control arm: Front shock absorber: Front spring: Greasing: Transmission fluid flush and change: Transmission filter and pan gasket: Transmission with pan off. very clean: Rear axle fluid change: Power window master switch: Drivers seat cushion support: Drivers seat foam insert: With all the above work the car has received. you should be all set for the next 100. 00 miles with just routine oil and filter changes before needing any major servicing. The Lincoln Town Car is a timeless design and this 2006 model looks virtually identical to the last 2011 models sold. Keep in mind that it’s also a greater value. since it’s basically the same as a 2011 model. but being nine model years old. the majority of the depreciation has been absorbed by the previous owner. yet the car still looks and runs great. Those that buy newer models for much more money will lose a lot of that money in depreciation over the next five years. while someone that buys this car. will. in five years. be able to sell it for pretty close to what they bought it for. What that means is you can own a car with the looks. style and prestige of a later model Town Car for a fraction of the cost. Another thing to remember if you have been looking at Town Cars in the 100. 00-200. 00 mile range is they wont have all the servicing that this one has had. Items like coil springs. control arms. steering rack. collapsed drivers seat. etc. that this car has had replaced. will be required on a 150. 00 mile car sooner or later. This car rides and drives as well as a low mileage car because of all the mentioned work done. while a 150. 00 mile car will have loose steering. a bouncy ride. and an uncomfortable drivers seat and soon will need all the servicing my car has already had. The cost new of this Signature L was $51. 45 back in 2006! CLICK HERE to see the original pricing. But with tax. title. tags and additional market adjustment markups (read rip off). the original purchaser probably paid over $55. 00 for it. This is a two owner car from Maryland which is probably why it’s so clean. CLICK HERE to see the title. and the last owner drove it nearly 300. 00 miles himself! This car was titled to an owner/driver and not a limo company. Remember. a limo company may have a dozen different drivers using it. none of whom care enough about the car to avoid potholes or to drive it gently. Also know that it was mostly driven in a suburban location. unlike some limos that can lead a much harder life downtown in cities like New York. Chicago or Philadelphia with their beaten up streets. The car comes with all the books. manuals and keyless entry keypad code card: Two factory remotes and transponder keys: And a front license plate bracket: If you are serious about buying a Town Car in general that is ready to work right now. and a Signature L specifically. this is about as low as they go in this nice condition because of the higher mileage. Sure. you can find many of these cars that look nice and seem like good deals in the $4. 00 to $6. 00 range. but if after purchase you have to spend another $5. 00 for bodywork. suspension repairs. brake work. tires. interior trim and other common repairs. it’s no bargain. Remember. you can get a great deal on Ebay with prices sometimes way below retail. but no bidder is going to “steal” a vehicle and no seller is going to give one away either. Also when comparing prices. remember the things that you won’t have to spend money on soon after getting it home. With this car you won’t have to spend $1. 00-$2. 00 on paint and bodywork to fixed cracked bumpers. deep scratches or dented doors and fenders. you won’t have to spend $1. 00 to rebuild the front end. you won’t have to spend $600 for a new set of premium tires. you won’t have to spend $400 on a complete front brake service. you won’t have to spend $400 on a complete rear brake service. you won’t have to spend $400 on a tune-up and fluid change service and you won’t have to spend $250 to rebuild the drivers seat. With many of the other listings on Ebay. you’re lucky if they even check the oil before delivery. Also. when comparing this Town Car to the others listed. check if they come with both keys because a new one from the dealer. with programming. is going to cost you $200. And if you lost that only key. it’ll cost three times as much to replace the security module plus the towing charge. Also. if the car doesn’t come with the keyless entry keypad code. you’ll have to take it to the dealer service department at another $75 to have them connect their diagnostic tool and read it out. If you are looking for an L version Town Car in beautiful condition at a good price. then this car is hard to beat. Remember that we don’t charge dealer processing fees or document fees that many other listings have for $200 or more and bury in their fine print. And don’t be fooled by some other auctions that are advertised as NO RESERVE and start at $100 or some other low price. Since no dealer is going to risk losing thousands of dollars if their auction doesn’t bring enough money. you can be pretty sure he has some “people” bidding on it for him. Especially those auctions that are private listings where it says “User ID kept private. ” Also. because my reserve is close to the Buy It Now price. don’t think that you will get a much better deal if you just keep bidding it up instead of using B. I. N. . especially if you need it delivered. TERMS OF THE AUCTION ARE AS FOLLOWS: Since this car may be advertised locally. auction can be canceled at any time (unless auction ended early with BUY IT NOW) due to prior sale without liability to any bidder.

I have tried to accurately describe this car. both mechanically and cosmetically but you can expect a certain amount of minor flaws on ANY used car including squeaks. rattles. drips. nicks. chips. scratches. blemishes and any other marks that are consistent with the age and mileage of the vehicle. There is no possible way to include all minute details and imperfections. however. I believe my listing accurately depicts this vehicle and if there are any issues they are noted in the description. Also remember that a vehicle is made up of thousands of mechanical parts and components and in an older or higher mileage used vehicle a part that is working fine now may go bad the next day. in a week. or a month from now. It’s nearly impossible to tell when a particular part or component will fail as most don’t exhibit prior symptoms. however. proper preventative maintenance as this car has received. can prevent most problems or breakdowns from happening.
