How much is this car worth?

[Byrocat]

My brother bought and restored a used car for his oldest step-son, who
managed to total it within 24 hours.

Brother said nothing, but the next time that step-son and mother had an
argument, step-son's suitcase came sailing into the room.....

Message got across loud and clear.

Take the car, keep a log and stop whining! It may be a wreck but it's free.
Besides, it has to be certified before you cn drive it. Get Dad to check on
the price of getting it done, and then sit down with him and see if it's
worthwhile or you should be looking at another used car.

Remember the golden rule: those with the gold make the rules. Dad has the
gold, you don't.

Wanna make the rules. Simple: get a job, move out and then buy what you
want.

Oh yeah, make sure that Dear Old Dad does NOT include you under his
insurance policy.

But it's also the amount of driving that surprises me. Me 9000 has done 100k
miles in 11 years. Perhaps the US is a larger country so people have to drive
more. They also have drive-in cinemas, burger bars, everything and I've heard
that many people live their lives in their cars?

Likewise, my C900 has done 135k in 20 years (this year), and I've put on
17k of that in the 1.5 years I've owned it as a daily commuter bus.

YES YOU MAY SAY WOW!!!!!!
I have seen the pictures and it was really sad to see a 4 year old car like
that.
I myself drive a 1992 Volvo 940 SE with leather seats, etc and still after
12 years !!!!!!!!!!

agreed, my Saab 900 t16S is 20 years old this year. has a little wear
and tear but is in sparkling condition inside and out compared to that
Lincoln.

one upside of taking that car for inspection/MAT is that, you will have
given the examiner a good laugh, and a story to tell in the bar that
night, so the next guy through might get an easier deal if the examiner
hasn't stopped laughing.
