The 5.0L Ford V8 is probably one of the most bulletproof and
reliable engines ever mass produced by anyone in the world.
The Towncar is a good but, not outstanding vehicle but, when
all costs are considered, it is a great value. 200K miles
is not a problem for the engine or car if properly
maintained and driven. As with any other vehicle, it can be
tortured and neglected to death very quickly.
