Up for grabs is a beautiful 2006 Lincoln LS V-8 with only 73K miles! Current Kelly Blue Book on this car is about $12,000 on a private party sale, and over $14,000 from a dealer!
So here's a chance to have a $12-14,000 car for about $6500 (after repairs - the selling price is $4500).
No lowballers, don't waste your time or mine. I know what this car is worth, especially in this good condition.
This is the top of the line "Elite" package, with heated and air-conditioned seats, moonroof, premium sound with 6-disc CD player, Advance-Trac, premium wheels, keyless entry, memory seats, memory steering wheel, and memory mirrors, and much more. Tires are in excellent condition. Moonroof and windows work perfectly, and the stereo system sounds great!
Body and interior are both in excellent condition (There is one small ding on the hood, you'll see it in a close-up picture, but its pretty minor).
Why is the car so inexpensive? Two reasons - 1. It needs a motor (there's one available locally for $800 with a warranty, expect to pay about $500 to have it installed), and 2. Its a salvage title.
This was a flood car, hence the salvage title. All electronics have been tested and replaced where required, including the Engine Control Unit (ECU). The car was connected to a Ford computer and the new ECU was unlocked and programmed. There are no electrical or computer issues with the vehicle. All computer modules are properly communicating. This is the most important thing to know on a flood car - it tells you there are no wiring issues.
So what all does it need besides a motor? Here's what I know for sure:
1. The power seat tracks, both driver and passenger, need to be replaced because they don't move. Water probably ruined the motors.
2. Fan blower motor
3. Battery`- I can put one in it for you to test things out, but you'll need to buy a new one.
Whats been replaced so far? All the fluids, all the coil packs, new plugs, new filters, (I'd save them and put them on the new motor), new starter, ECU, and more.
Why am I selling it? Because when I bought it, the seller didn't disclose to me that the car had a bad motor. He said it only needed the electronics repaired. Well I fixed all the electronics, and was excited to crank up the car and drive it, then I was crushed to find out about the motor. The motor won't turn over, its as if its locked up. I spent all my budget on the electronic repairs, and now I'm out of funds. I am extremely disappointed to say the least, but at this point I just want to recover my investment.
