ehh my mom has an older one (like 2001) with the v8. The car is pretty quick, definitely comfortable, however in our experience the car is a lemon. Mechanically, it shares alot of components with jaguar which says a lot off the bat. The message thing in the dash is constantly reading that things are wrong, oil needs to be changed, filters need to be changed, etc. no matter what you do to the car, reset the computer, change the stuff, etc. So far all four window motors have been replaced, the seat backs are falling apart, the chrome rims were cutting up the tires and lincoln made my dad buy four new rims. The car has had fan problems twice, the trunk floods in the rain, the 3rd break light burns out all the time, passenger side headlight burns out all the time. One time only the driver rear door would unlock with the keyfob, all the others would stay locked. We also had a problem with the traction control not working which was an expensive fix. We've taken it back twice because the breaks make this shimmy feeling when you stop. None of these problems came about until the 36k mile warranty ended, of course. My mom bought hers used with 20k and it now has 80k, it's driven by my mom to work only so it's never abused or anything. It's a sharp car but I wouldn't recommend one.
