Lookitng for a 98 Mark 8 LSC

If anyone see's any for sale, how about let me know where. I'd like a black or silver or graphite one, but at this point I am getting frustrated at their relative tunavailability. I have run through ebay, autotrader, and so forth with no real luck. Let me know what you see

Thanks

Two places you can look is www.tccoa.com which is the Thunderbird and cougar club of America. It covers the MN12 chassis which is the 89-97 Thunderbirds and cougars and the FN10 chassis which is the 93- 98 Mark VIII . They other place you can look around is www.markviii.org . They both have for sale forums which might help you. The MN12 chassis and FN10 chassis are essentially the same, the FN10 is longer and has other differences. You might want to also look for a 97 Mark *** well. 97 and 98 were the same car but the 98 model is missing some stuff because they new they were gonna kill the car. One of the big things that you have to look for when getting a Mark VIII is that blend door does not have issues, i do belive there was a recall but apparently alot of cars didn't get taken in for the recall.

The Marks are nice cars............I eventually want a Black on Black 97 or 98 Mark VIII Lsc. That way my thunderbird can have a playmate

there were not that many sold new.

The used market will be tough.

Good luck.

Checked both of those, been to LincolnvsCadillac, and every other forum that comes up under mark viii forums or for sale or classifieds. Everything I found that was acceptable was like 18 hours away.

I think a friend of mine has a silver '97 or '98 he might be trying to sell, but I don't think it's an LSC. It's in pretty sad shape though, bought it from the owner when they brought it to us and it needed like $1200 worth of front end work.

Where exactly in GA are yall? At this point, I'm willing to LOOK at anything. I found two cars reasonably priced within 400 miles of here. 1 was in Charleston SC, which would have worked out great since the inlaws live there, but I sent a friend to look at it and it was a turd. The other is in Jacksonville FL and my dads going to be there Wed for work and he is going to check it out for me. Until Wed, I am just hangin out driving this POS mercedes of my sisters. (95 C280)

I work in Columbus, about two hours south of Atlanta. I think I know of another one for sale, a black '97 LSC that needs some air suspension work (I think one rear spring is leaking) and a couple oil leaks fixed.

If you have the time, how about find out about them for me. I am about 30 miles northeast of atlanta, but I have no problem going to columbus for a day to see some cars, rather than FL or TX. I'll even bring the tranny fluid leaking nav with me.

What happened to the Navi? Some idiot kid who used to work with me had one, not sure if it was a LCS, but I do know that he ran the **** outta that thing.
