Indeed I did. Going to be a new daily drive/project car towards the end of summer. I'm going to end up selling the CL in a couple of months to save some money, but I already found her (lesser) replacement. It's a 1983 Lincoln Town Car, 140k miles, excellent condition, paid $2000.





These seats are 23 years old!






I bought it from a preacher. It was his wife's car. It has a digital speedo, loads of room, and the old Ford 302ci/5.0L V8 from the Mustang. It's paid for, I don't have to worry about it in parking lots, and I no longer have to flip up seats to carry around more than two people. Yay me.

 

clean!

 

Congrats. pretty good deal tho..

 

In high school I used to have a part time job chauffeuring this guy to the airport, I drove him in a car identical to that one. It really is like driving a boat, you try to aim that big Lincoln hood emblem at where you are headed...

 

Thats a big back seat you've got there

 

The hood emblem is like a gun sight.

 

Man you REALLY want to eliminate any possibilty of ever getting laid, don't you?

 

By the way your car is very clean.

 

I tried the using cars to get laid strategy, obviously it didn't work. So thats not my problem

 

And people are being tough on me for wanting to possibly trade in my CL for an Audi!

Congrats!

What do you have planned to do to it since it'll be a project car???

 

Thats what I was thinking.......

 

23 year old seats have seen more action than ______.

I kid, I kid, I joke...

 

How are you gonna save money? Drug deal with that TC?

 

Turn that tank into a sleeper.

 

now you have a ton of room in the back...no more excuses

 

By not paying $400 a month for my CL

 

Monthly improvements instead of monthly payments works for me...

I hate car payments, and that's one of the reasons I'll have my CL for awhile...

 

I demo derbyed a car VERY similar to that but it wasn't as clean. I got a 83 Town Car out of the junkyard for like 300 bucks. painted it like "General Lee" it was the sh!t until i blew the raidator and tranny. then i called it a piece of shit.

 

Agreed

 

x10

I get MUCH more satisfactions paying cash for a car then paying monthly. Plus if you don't like the car down the road it won't feel as bad cause it's paid off.

 

I had an 88 town car for a while. Black on red. Thing was a beast. Took every kind of punishment I could give it & kept running. The trunk was HUGE!!!!!

Hey Minch, where are the SSR's? If you got them I'll take em back.

 

I don't have them anymore.

 

23 years old and clean as a whistle. Good buy!

 

Guess that means I have to come back down to Floridian land and let some hooker pay me to smash her head into the seat cushions

 

Wow must be some story behind that!

 

This a joke?

 

I don't think so...

It's refreshing to see a young man have his financial priorities in order....

All of us can't be ballers like you dom



at least he didn't buy a buick....

 

I have no problem with him getting his finances in order but that car is a social death sentence for a 20 year old.

But like everyting else it seems, Minch probly doesn't care.

:ibherealizeshemadeamistakeandsellsit:

You only live ONCE Minch.

 

I see lots of young ghetto folk in detroit driving these. Im sure its still pimping.


You just aint hip Dom.

 

Everyone I've showed it to loves it

 

$2000 is too much!!!

 

You will NEVER get laid now. At least you had a remote chance of stumbling into some pussy in the CLs.

 

Well for 2000 bucks you could have gotten an old Accord, Camry maybe even a Cressida

 

Once the transmission is paid off maybe Ill get to enjoy the whole "no car payment" thing

Nice boat! Great personal finance strategy.

 

Dont listen to them. Any "friends" who judge you based on your ride are dicks anyway.

This coming from the girl who is turned off by a guy with an appletini. Im such a hypocrite sometimes

Personally I think all boat cars are sweet. Much cooler than your CL in my opinion...its got character.

 

i like it...but i'm southern big cars are my thing

 

Yeah, but now you've got the monthly mortgage payments

 

If you painted it a different color, did 15% tint, put on a nice rumbling exhaust, changed the rims & lowered it, it wouldn't be a bad looking car at all.

 

Shuddap

Appreciating asset payment > Depreciating asset payment

 

Buick is somehow worse than a Lincoln? Much less a 1 year old Buick vs a 23 year old Lincoln.
