Stretch Limousine Comparison: What You Need to Know

Most limo companies still run 10–20-year-old stretch limos, even when they call them “new” or “updated.” From a distance they look similar — but the condition, reliability, and comfort are completely different.

Here’s a simple breakdown of the two older models still common on the road compared to our brand-new Chrysler stretch limousine.

1. Lincoln Town Car Stretch (≈20 Years Old)

Typical issues:

  • Rust on body panels

  • Roof leaks

  • Weak AC/heat

  • Worn interiors

  • Mechanical problems and hard-to-find parts

Summary:
This is the classic limo look, but almost all of them are near 20 years old and very unreliable.

2. Lincoln MKT Stretch (≈12–13 Years Old)

Typical issues:

  • Already over a decade old

  • Outdated lighting and electronics

  • Interior wear

  • Ride comfort issues

Summary:
Most companies advertise these as “new,” but the model itself is old and shows its age.

3. Chrysler Stretch Limousine (Brand New)

Why it’s better:

  • New build — not a refurbished older limo

  • Modern interior and lighting

  • Better comfort and reliability

  • 5th door for easier entry/exit

  • Same price range competitors charge for old models

Before You Book Any Limo

  • Ask for the actual model year

  • Request recent photos

  • If it doesn’t have a 5th door, it’s not the new Chrysler

  • Be cautious when companies say “new” without proof

Final Note

We’ve owned all three models. The difference between older limos and the brand-new Chrysler is huge in comfort, safety, and reliability. This quick guide helps make sure you know exactly what you’re booking.
