Why Driving THIS Car Could Save You Big Bucks | Lincoln Town Car

- I found this 2004 Lincoln Town Car for sale on facebook marketplace back in September. I bought this Lincoln Town Car for $10,500 and it saved me from my $720 a month payment on my 2014 Ford Raptor.
In this video I explain how I was able to sell my Ford Raptor and buy a Lincoln Town Car in cash which was financially just a better decision for me. Not having a car payment to make every month can save you a TON of money!
In America the average price people pay for new cars is $40,000 and the average monthly car payment is $726. An article by Lending Tree breaks down some of the most insane facts about financing a car in America and how expensive it could be.
Now I'm not saying that you should feel ashamed or completely avoid financing a car, because everybody's situation is different. But if you are looking for a way to have some extra cash every month, downsizing something like a depreciating asset of a car might be a good place to start.
Tune into this video where I go over my personal situation, as well as my plans for the future. As well as give you guys an example on why driving this car could save you big bucks! The lincoln town car of course!

It's hard to argue with that kind of logic, Nick. What you didn't mention this time is how much you like the ride in the Lincoln. That makes your argument even harder to refute. The truth is Americans have been convinced that we have to spend ridiculous amounts of money to live and be happy, when you really don't have to.
I agree. I am at my most happiest when I’m cruising this car on a nice day on an open road! Nothing like floating down the road with a little extra money in my pocket! 😎 Thanks Rich!
Thank you again Nick for another awesome video and dude I hope you never get rid of this town car.. and I'm with you on the car note, I'm really enjoying not having a car payment and I'm also enjoying driving my 07.
Anytime man I’m glad you’re enjoying the car content! Love making videos for you guys and I hope your 07 has been treating you great!
Great video! I’m with ya on that saving money thing especially nowadays. Can’t go wrong with the Town Car. It may raise an eyebrow on the dating scene tho!! Lol! Yes it’s a Grandpa car… I’m a Grandpa tho so I don’t mind!
They say grandpas are wise anyways! Thanks for checking it out Dan. Hope the weather in Vegas has been great!
Panther Platform accommodates all the situations you mentioned: kids, long commute, space for cargo.
Side note: this was a fantastic video. This video (and your channel) needs to go viral. This is very practical advice. You don't have to buy the latest/greatest car.
I do think the panther platform checks all the boxes, especially being so dependable. Thank you for the kind words about the channel as well, I hope to see it really start to grow over these next few months
I bought a 04 LTC with 13,300 mi for $13K 3 years ago so I would have a reliable and comfortable long distance (800 mi one way) Barcalounger on wheels for not a lot of money. With a body of frame, it took a tow hitch with no issues. I use the car to pull a small trailer when additional carrying capacity is needed. Insurance is low ($50/mo) and the milage has averaged 21.1 MPG over the last 30K mi. Nothing has broken and I have only had to fix the known water leak problem with the HVAC air intake under the hood.
I have no regrets with this purchase and recommend this to all as well.
Sir, you're absolutely correct. My plan is to pay cash for a town car for transportation when we return to America to live. I used to own an older model years ago and 12:04 beat myself up to trading it in. Economicly, my town car was far more dependable and a joy to drive. I'm older and more mature now, and I will enjoy the American freeways, stop lights, and folk knowing how to drive. Enjoy your town car to the max.
Crunch the same numbers comparing the LTC to a mainstream EV counterpart, like Tesla's most popular sedan. Oh, how are those doin' in the frigid temperatures and frosty roads ?
Not too hot! Back to LTC Content!
that year and with the winter we are finally having here in chicago if u drive it in the conditions we will have for the next 2 months that body will change that's why I keep mine in the garage in the winter I had rust when I brought mine on the passenger quarter panel fixed that at 46 k you have to keep the rear quarters clean on the inside of the wheel well it's painted the one I fixed I had the body guy put under coat instead of paint no rust 10 years now
I’m definitely going to get it treated for rust to protect it as much as possible!
4.6 Liter engine is super reliable in my Lincoln! Got it as a hand me down from fam. Best darned ride!
Definitely hard to find engines that last as long as the 4.6 nowadays!
Me too Nick , I am rockin the FM transmitter in my TC 👍🏻😀
We gotta do what we gotta do out here 😂
Awesome Video Bro. Love it man. SO TRUE.. !!!! My 2007 LTC has no payment and no repairs as of yet, thank God. Its saving me TONS of money also. Thanks Man... !!!
Thanks John!
@@GetThisNick 👍💪
2024 marks my 30th year with Crown Victorias as daily drivers. Best cars I've ever owned.
That’s longer than I’ve been alive! That’s a lot of loyalty you have! Awesome cars
1991 Buick Riviera here. It's beautiful. Paid $3500 2 years ago=$145/months and going down fast. The higher gas cost is partially offset by lower insurance cost. The nice thing is the comfort and ride. The down side is it may be more likely to break down, but I have a work truck if needed.
Great choice!
Great video. I plan on getting a Lincoln town car in a couple of months as my first car. Been working real hard and stacking faithfully! Super excited to make my purchase the town car is so cool man.
I can’t recommend them enough! Feel free to binge watch some of my videos I have a lot of videos up regarding mine!
@@GetThisNick already ahead of ya, new sub by the way😎
Appreciate it brother! welcome to the channel!
Kool Video. Great Content. 👊🏼😉
Thank you!
Glad to hear someone with common sense. “Investing” in a car could only be applicable during the COVID pandemic. Otherwise it’s not an investment but a money pit. At your age, $1000 a month should be saved to buy a home (although that has its own headaches) but it is a wise investment for your retirement (and trust me, it will come).
I tuned into your channel since my old man was always sold on the Marquis and those cars were insanely reliable. Tough to remember when they were in the shop.
As for myself- I invested in a house and after 25 years, I paid $366K and sold for $1.2. Trust me, it’s worth it.
Wow what a great investment that was! You must of bought in a great area. Good for you that’s awesome to hear, and it sounds like your old man knew a thing or two about GOOD cars!
@@GetThisNick I bought in Darien, Ct.- a boutique suburb of NYC- and yeah- it was a fantastic investment and I suggest you don’t look for a house with bells and whistles in an average neighborhood- the chances are high that it won’t give a nice ROI. My sister did that and from 1989 to 2018- 400K only went to 788K. She had new construction and I had an 1896 Victorian. Basically I invested in the dirt (the lot was fantastic).
That Panthers Platform has been undervalued for years and is now getting its recognition. It’s about time.
@@GetThisNick And BTW- my 2 cars are both Mercedes- a 2007 E350 with 204K miles and a 2013 ML350 with 180K. As long as you do preventative maintenance- they will last.
All facts!! You was literally tell my story! You convinced me that I made a good move getting rid of my truck and buy the TC. Great video
Wise advice, thanks!
No problem!
What a coincidence! I also got a panther car last September. Mine is a crown victoria lx. She isnt pretty but i paid only a fraction what you did. So a fair trade lol
Yeah it is INSANE how much people are paying and living in debt. When my old car died last year it screwed up everything even with a few paychecks saved. People just assumed id take out a loan and be in debt for years . Ideally i wanted an old camry or corolla but those are being sold for so much even at extreme mileage. And really out here you need a car to survive. Almost lost my job because of it.
The market is fucked...But dont give up hope-those of you who are going through what i did. Theres still deals out there.
Tldr my crown vic saved my ass and is well worth the price of gas.
Congrats on your purchase brother! The Lx’s are super nice!
Good video I've been driving these beauty's since the early 70s still today im truly a lincoln man, 2001an up was to attracted men 40 plus nothing like owning a lincoln TownCar
Agree that new cars are a waste. Your Town Car will hold its value and the repairs should be low cost if you keep up on all fluids and take care of it. I got a 2006 Town Car in 2016 for $4500 and still use it almost daily with 124k on it now and it rides like new. I have not had a car payment in 26 years and never spent more than $28k on a car but all my cars look clean and almost new. I love the 392 Durango too, but would never pay that much.
No car payment in 26 years is impressive stuff!
And fluid film the frame and body if you live in a rust belt like me in Cleveland.
Good video I've been driving these beauty's since the 70s still driving them today I'm truly the lincoln man When the 2001 came out it was to attracted men 40 an up
Ol Nick steady ridin in that big body.. clean and mean. Makem me wana go grab one ina a few months. After my wife and I pay this lifted Nissan Titan truck off and get rid of it. It was a absolute lemon no 🧢 but keep dropping great videos 👊🏾🔥
Damn bro sorry to hear that about the titan. Did you get the gas or diesel one?
@@GetThisNick I got the gas one, first time buying a pickup truck and didn’t do my homework enough on it. It definitely was learning lesson. But I think I’m gona follow suit of what you did and just get me a Lincoln town car
@@flofearless9173 They’re not a bad choice at all bro. Only thing I wish I could have done different was find me a clean ‘L’ one for the longer wheel base. This one came up and I took it as a sign. Hope you find a clean one soon bro so that you’re riding fresh for spring time. Keep me updated!
@@GetThisNick thanks bro most definitely will, and I will be looking for a L myself 👊🏾✊🏾
@@flofearless9173 Best of luck on your search brother, gotta get you ridin clean by summer time 😎
Clean 🔥
Love brother thank you
I only go for Ford's crown Victoria and Lincoln town car I'm paying 410 every month for a 2010 Lincoln town car
Seems like a wise investment that’s for sure. I love my car but your rationale is very smart. Tesla Model 3 I love it since it’s the first nice car I have ever had so I spoiled myself a bit.
Smart guy! I love it! Continue thinking and doing this way and you'll save a ton! Be sure to save as much as you can cause when you get old like me you'll be set for life and be able to retire! So many people these days are spending everything they make and not thinking about the future! AND don't worry about if the car burns more fuel or a little more for repairs! I have so many friends that will sell their car and get head over heals in debt because their old car wasn't "great on gas "or "Oh my god, my alternator went out"! LMAO, they just don't understand, by buying that expensive car they are spending more than an alternator replacement and something slightly better on fuel! You are on the right track! And if you get tired of that Lincoln and want something else... no problem, it's paid for, you have equity and you can buy another cheap car and have fun! Although , that Lincoln, taken good care of will run you for many years problem free! What a nice ass Lincoln you have! Be proud!
Thanks for always checking out the videos Kevin! I agree! I feel like there’s a lot more people living pay check to pay check than there should be, but what people do with their money is up to them! Appreciate the feedback always brother
It’s hilarious my friends making fun of me wanting to buy a Lincoln in cash rather than buying a new car for 20grand+ that doesn’t even come with heated seats 😭😭😭
1. Either find new friends ... or ... 2. keep mouth shut about personal finances/ car purchase cost. 3. re: "hilarious" = friends like that are ... not funny!
Are your "friends" going to pay your bills for you? Cars are a terrible drain on your resources, trust me, I've got 4 of them and 0 "friends".
I miss that raptor
😢😭 she was a beast 🦖🦕
Because reasons, let's find out.
Always the first viewer!
Right now I have a scion xB I’ve had since I was 15 and it’s been great for what I use it for but definitely want something that rides smooth. I was blessed enough where my dad bought this car too I’ve never had a car payment and never will…only cash offers around here I’ve been able to stack so much money up just cuz I don’t have a payment each month…yes I don’t drive the coolest car but fr who gives a shit. We out here cashing check’s instead. Buy assets!!!
Definitely true brother. The scion xB! I remember when I was younger I wanted a scion TC so bad 😂
Lmao
What's up with the insurance? Seems pretty expensive.
I thought the same when I heard the quote, however I shopped around and a lot of the insurance prices were higher including higher than the $200.
When I asked, they said that even though it’s an older car with considerably less value, that could actually make it cost more money to insure due to stuff like the vehicles security system not as up to date as say a new vehicles. And to be fair, I also do have full coverage with literally every option, including towing as well as rental reimbursement. I’m sure I’d be able to take some things off and get it down
@@Gen3LTC I wouldn’t lie! I promise that’s what it is
Hmmm interesting. I know things have ballooned in price over there (as well as here in Australia), so I figured that might be the reason why. I've never had a car on full comprehensive insurance, but I'm hoping my age and safe driving history will mean a nice premium if I do one day. @@GetThisNick
