What about the 2006+ clusters with the tach?

It is still a Town Car. The tach is not that interesting to watch. The main problem I have with the later generation dash is the placement of the speedometer. Depending on where you hands are on the steering wheel most of the time your hand blocks the speedo. The dash is also not centered in the steering wheel opening. This is because they got cheap and used the GM cluster in the TC. The larger steering wheel on the 2005+ also blocks some of button on the dash below the cluster because the button positions did not change when they changed steering wheels.

Anyone: what do you consider "high" mileage on a Town Car (or panther in general), assuming the car was regularly serviced?
I don't think 80k miles is a big deal if you have the service history of the car.
2003 Marauder, Black (Formerly "Levi's"; Vortech, 597RWHP, 570RWTQ)
2004 Marauder, Black (Stock + 4:10)
2010 Challenger SRT8, 6 Speed (AEM Cold Air Intake, Magnaflow exhaust, and some other stuff)
2005 Ford Excursion Limited Diesel-Post Apocalyptic Bug Out Package
These days, 80k on a panther seems low.
100-120 seems average.
Over 150 is where it gets interesting. Well maintained cars seem to double that without any trouble, but the neglected ones start to fail at some point, and quite subjectively 150k seems to be that point.

I bought a 2007 Signature Limited a year and a half ago. The paint is a sparkled white tri-coat that looks absolutely gorgeous after a wash and wax. Nice car, paid too much but it had all the "bells and whistles" I was after with under 100k miles.
I would advise in looking for rust issues especially around the fuel door area. I've heard that they have foam installed under the body panels to damped outside road noise and water gets trapped in the foam. The trapped water typically rusts through the paint. Only other thing is the drivers seat is surprisingly a little uncomfortable. Look up the Lincoln forums where it's discussed in detail as a common issue, but I plan on having mine redone someday. They are very nice cars, do not regret my purchase one bit and wish you the best of luck in your search!
Highly recommend the Weather Tech molded floormats, certainly much cheaper then OEM Marauder mats! LOL
