Lincoln Town Car for Sale

Edmunds' Expert Review

by the Edmunds Experts

Pros

Roomy interior, quiet cabin, throaty V8 engine, huge trunk, availability of a long-wheelbase model.

Cons

Interior looks ancient compared to equivalently priced European and Japanese luxury sedans, poor resale value.

What’s new

Having been freshened with a host of changes last year, the Town Car is largely unchanged for 2004. Last year's Executive model is now the Signature, and the Cartier becomes the Ultimate (available in both regular- and long-wheelbase versions). Sirius Satellite Radio is now a dealer-installed option.

Edmunds says

If you want a big American luxury car for a reasonable price, the Town Car is the only game in town, but equivalently priced European and Japanese luxury sedans are better in almost every respect.

Awesome Town Car

Omar, 03/10/2016

2004 Lincoln Town Car Signature 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)

Awesome big American V8 sedan. Roomy seats, smooth ride, and nice speakers for a stock car. Average 20 mpg and thats mixed driving in Houston, Tx. Car was bought used so it did had some small scratches, driver seat small tear and some plastics in the interior coming loose. However it did fail once, the IAC valve failed and made my car accelerate on its own and that just 97,000 miles so I …

2004 Lincoln Town Car Ultimate 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)

I own a 2010 Acura TL that I purchased brand new, although I love the handling and power, when I go on long trips I take the Lincoln. I love the ride, plushness and quietness this car have. I also love the beautiful body style. Very Luxurious look. I read other reviews here about road noise and wind noise and I laugh. The only thing wrong with this car is that the IDIOTS at FORD …

2004 Lincoln Town Car Ultimate 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)

This car is the Lincoln Town Car Ultimate Palm Beach Edition. What a car! It attracts constant admiration and comments. It is maroon with a half stone white top. It is one of the best cars I've ever had in the 50+ years Iv'e driven. Quiet, smooth riding and handling. When I pass a slower car even my grandchildren are impressed with the pickup. The stereo is magnificent. I like especially …

2004 Lincoln Town Car Ultimate: As rugged as it is

MilesPerHour, 06/13/2019

2004 Lincoln Town Car Ultimate 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)

How many domestic luxury sedans can boast reliable 400,000+ mileage capability? How many receive a five out of five star crash rating in every category by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) - being the first production passenger sedan in the world to do so? And most important - how many luxury sedans frugally sip regular-grade gasoline making them the unexpected … economy car? The 2004 Lincoln Town Car Ultimate is the perfect combination of luxury and logic. Once settled into the leather-clad lounge-type seating, the 'click' of the vault-like door shutting will be the loudest sound one will encounter. Turn the key - the potent 4.6 litre V8 engine whispers its existence. (This is the same mighty V8 engine powering Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptors) The silky smooth 4-speed electronic transmission with automatic overdrive imperceptibly engages. Tap the electronically adjustable accelerator pedal and Town Car springs to life effortlessly. No, it will not achieve 0-60 mph in a nanosecond, but then, that's not what this car is intended to do. It's a luxury-laden land yacht despite its sheer size - it handles like a much smaller vehicle. No need to adjust the dual temperature controls, (one set for driver, one set for front seat passenger) once set no further intervention is required, it maintains the selection automatically. Town Car "Ultimate" is equipped as its model name implies...most every amenity is standard - so many in fact, it would be easier to mention what it doesn't have. Even the rear deck lid opens AND closes automatically at the touch of a button on the key fob. I mentioned the unexpected economy car - it goes beyond frugality at the pump. The Lincoln Town Car shares its underpinnings with sisters Ford Crown Victoria and the Mercury Grand Marquis. Parts are inexpensive and plentiful, you may not need many because these cars are notoriously reliable. Lincoln Town Cars are built on two wheelbases. The "L" series are longer versions, many of which are still in service as airport limousines. What impresses me most about my Town Car is the outrageous gas mpg averages. I get 20.5 mpg driving at speeds between 75 and 80 mph. Just for this review...I drove a Town Car with 111,000,164,000, and 200,000 miles comparing their stamina and operating logistics. There's no difference just because of high mileage; however, this is contingent upon the owner's adherence to service/maintenance intervals. Yes, a Lincoln Town Car can easily exceed 400,000 miles if properly maintained. The 2004 Lincoln Town Car Ultimate is classy understated luxury and the perfect marriage of luxury and logic. The 2004 Lincoln Town Car Ultimate is a shinning example of what a luxury car should be...
