Letter from consumer fraud unit. Need help!

sami186 — Sun, 05 Apr 2009 23:34:16 GMT

Car sold on eBay $5200. Buyer paid deposit $500 by Paypal and full balance should be payable within three days.

After several calls and email, buyer again wired $500 + $900 to my bank account in three months and promise that he will pick the car next week every time I call. Last time I called in Feb I told buyer that I can not hold the car and I will sell it and recover my money. Now after 9 months I received the letter from consumer fraud unit that buyer claim $1900 back. I still have the car in storage. If I sell the car I will not get more then $3000. What can I do? Please help, thanks in advance.

How do I program the remote entry for my 1993 Lincoln Town Car?

towncarkitty — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 22:02:34 GMT

I had a '96 Town Car and bought a remote on ebay for it, programmed it myself from the directions that came with it but no longer have the directions. 5 years later I totalled the car (saved the remote) and bought a '93 Town Car with no remote but I have the keypad code number. How do I re-program the remote I used on the '96 to work on the '93 Town Car? I know it is the same remote (or at least looks exactly the same.) Help!

My Lincoln Town Car will not shift out of park. If there is a switch that may be turned off, where is it located?

lincoln_lady — Mon, 31 Dec 2007 06:48:27 GMT

My Linocoln Town Car didn't have any problems until I got the oil changed by "professionals". After my oil was changed, when I would start the car and put it into gear, (drive or reverse),the gear would not not shift. I would have to push the brake all the way to the floor and wait a few seconds while holding the brake down and eventually it would shift. I was driving one day since the gear would get stuck and the car completely "shut off" while I was driving it. I waited a few minutes and restarted the car, and it started. Since then the car has got stuck in park and now I am unable to drive it.It will start but will not let me shift. Do you guys have any answers that you think may apply?

5 car collision- air bags didn't go off?

snomyst — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 00:06:51 GMT

My car was rear ended at around 50mph by a driver who didn't realize the traffic was stopped. It caused a domino effect involving three cars in front of me. The car that rear ended me was completely totaled, my car was damaged at both ends and wouldn't start. Should the air bags have gone off considering the force was enough to involve 3 cars in front of me? My car is an '03 Chrysler town and country.

We bought a 89 Lincoln Town Car, transmission slips.

knarly1 — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 13:16:59 GMT

O/D works when under 45mph. But when you go over that it slips and you have to put the car down into just drive in order to keep going. My nephew bought the car from an older gentleman about a year and a half ago & couldn't figure out what the problem was. We just recently bought the car from my nephew and are trying to figure out if it could just be a vacuum leak of some sorts or if the entire tranny needs to be replaced/rebuilt. Please help!!
