So after a year of searching I have found an LS to replace my old LS. It has been a hard fought search as I was only interested in one with ultra low miles due to the extreme number of miles I drive.
I came across an '05 last Thursday with only 5900 miles on it. It was at a Ford Motor Credit auction in Columbus, OH. I didn't believe the miles so I got my a$$ out of bed at 4:30 Friday morning and drove over (3 hrs) with a friend to look at it before the office opened at 8:00. It was legit, went over it with a fine tooth comb. Still had the leather care instructions on the passenger seat and caution stickers on the glovebox door. Wheels have never been off the car. Could not believe it. So I called a contact I have at a Ford dealership and had him "buy it now" and drove it home. I don't know that I stole it at $16,900 ($17,500 after broker fees) but I feel like I bought the equivilent of a brand new car for 39% of the sticker price!!
I have to admit that it was a little bit of a buzz kill when I parked it next to my '02. I love black on black but nobody really knows that I got a new car. Although, it does have a few upgrades. Navigation being a big one!!!
