96 was the year rwd fords were not selling. It would have been easy to get over 10k off sticker of that car back then. The Continentals and them were built on the same line alternating. Continental was selling hard so they HAD to build as many Towncars/Mark series.

Anthony, years ago I had a 1996 Town Car Diamond Anniversary edition, and I remember when the battery was really low and it had to be jumpstarted, that the brake-shift interlock switch that lets you pull the car out of park would not release until the battery voltage/charge came up after a while. Maybe that was the issue with this car. Hoping it is something simple! Beautiful car by the way, that hopefully just needs a little love.

That's a good idea on my 94 crown victoria I had the little wire strands all pull out on my "boo switch". If there's only a little connection more power could be needed for the connection to work. Surprising they didn't use the trick to move the shifter start it in neutral then put into gear. That's what I did to go get the wire to repair mine.

"Auction tune up"....not cool! When I worked for Avis back in the mid 80's to 90's, we had some customers who's cars would always break down when they flew in and rented. Because the car "broke down", we would upgrade them from the full size to a premium...Cadillac or so. One boring Saturday, I sat at the computer terminal after one of our favorite customers called in, he was stuck on 95....just north of 114 in Danvers. For fun, I pulled up his Wizard number and his rental history. Seems he was pulling this crap all over the US. Even in the 80's, it's not probable that 50 rentals in a row in different areas of the US would have a breakdown. I left it for my boss and brought the guy his "Cadillac". Not sure what happened to him because I was just a "Shuttler" and occasionally would help out in the Fleet office. Almost always it was a spark plug wire issue. Very cool LTC! I hope you can do an easy fix and don't have to send it back. I would love to own one of those....but no cash for buying and no place to park it as it needs/deserves a garage.

Dealer was in love with our 1989 Signature (it was extremely clean and well serviced triple black car) and took it in trade plus $500. That was a good trade actually, although I wish I had both of them still. We stumbled around that engine bay until we found the unplugged injector and had a great running Town Car just like that.

Low mileage isn’t always the best. My grandparent no longer use their 46k mile car. It sounds nice, but it’s a condo carport car. Exposed to Florida sun 24-7 (Well really 12-7 since it’s dark at night). So the paint is fading and the inside won’t be as nice. Also had that water leak issue that thankfully Anthony Gozzo’s video helped us fix! Mechanically it’s great, although Now it needs new air ride rear shocks. But this 25k mile car doesn’t seem too bad, must’ve been garaged. However it has the mechanical issues. All trade offs in the business.

The intermittent shift issue could be one or both of the inch long T30 screws in the shifter linkage support just above the steering column are loose. One of mine came out and the other was loose so I couldn't shift it into park or neutral. I replaced and tightened the screws under the dash, and it's good as new. You will have to unscrew the plastic cover under the column, but it's a pretty easy fix.

My last Online Auction purchase: ‘95 Caprice, Long Island Cop car, 1 owner. I bought sight unseen (big mistake) I picked it up and it BARELY drove onto the trailer, spit, sputter and nearly stalling. Anyway I have my mechanic go through it thinking the OptiSpark was bad so while he’s in there mays well do plugs, wires, water pump, thermostat, etc. I mean give it the blank check LT1 tune up! I get it back, still runs like crap, heavy misfire and smell of unburnt fuel. I’m thinking Oxygen Sensors, etc. Nope, turns out “someone” switched 2 plug wires at the Opti. Honest mistake as My mechanic said that he just replaced the wires 1 by 1 as he took them off. So it ran like that either to get a better price or an employee it and out of spite that he wanted it more than me.
