I've always liked the aesthetics for whatever reason, not a huge fan of Ford/domestics though. Any reason I should shy away from a clean 140k mile example? I've been wanting a land barge lately and I'm very much willing and able to do any necessary maintenance - just want to know if I can count on it being bulletproof reliable once all the wear components are taken care of.
The example in question is a 1997, I see some with failed rear suspension, I assume there's a coil conversion available. Heard something about intake manifolds exploding too. I was pretty set on a w124 E300 but for a beat-around-for-a-few-months an American car is seeming like a better option.
Thanks for any input, will bump with LTC pics

Face it you want to look like a police car

thank u
Where the fuck do they use green 20 year old Town Cars as police cars?
If I wanted to LARP as a cop I'd get a decommissioned Crown Vic, and even at that rate nobody falls for it
In fact I always make a point of annoying the shit out of ex-cop Crown Vic drivers if I can

They're huge, they have floaty suspension, they get low mpg, they're not actually all that fast for a RWD V8. If you're looking at one that was actually used commercially it'll likely have suspension issues. If you're not actually chauffering people around or doing a lot of long highway cruising they're pretty pointless as a DD. The only people that would be impressed you have a TC are old farts and sleaze-lords. If you just want a panther platform sedan you can get a Gran Marquis for cheaper in better shape. What else would you like to know?

thanks
My old lady neighbor offered hers to me for $2000, it's literally spotless so price and condition shouldn't be an issue. I wasn't looking for a Panther but reports of Town Car dependability and first hand experience with a friend's are winning me over.
I'm not looking to impress anyone, nor do I have any illusion it might be fast or fuel efficient.
>doing a lot of long highway cruising this is the main reason, I drive 150 miles a day and this seems like a good opportunity to replace my shitbox Honda DD. I've had nothing but Jap sports cars for a couple of years now and I'm itching to get back into a comfy boat with an auto box.
I honestly just wanted to hear "I have one with 250k and it's never let me down" or "Stay away at all costs the 1997 has some catastrophic engine issue that will inevitably leave you stranded"
