I am looking at purchasing a 93 Lincoln Town Car with only 79K on the mileage. It passed VA state inspection but I am going to have another mechanic check it out that is not “in” with the car dealer. It rides really smooth but with a little extra movement in the front when you are cruising. Nothing else noticeable. What should I be looking for and make sure that the mechanic looks at? ---

“Panther” platform Fords are very reliable. (Vics, Marq. TC) The only weakness in the front end are the control arm bushings and maybe shocks. For 3 grand or so, you can’t go wrong… ---

My sister has a 93 town car with a lot more than 79K. It’s a great car. Make sure it was recalled for the defective cruise control switch. Otherwise it could ignite into flames without warning.
