Take it from me guys, this is a nice car. Tyler, post some nice pictures up.

Good Luck

I can barely get that much and my car is a 2005, and more than half the miles! It seems these cars are hard to sell?

Here you go...

 

[KD00LS]

Tyler, how come you never decided to clear the corners? With the chromium bulbs in the corner it would give off a blueish tint to match the paint.

 

[tylers65]

I just never got around to it I guess.

It's all about being patient and who you present the car to.

I put it here to let everyone know mostly out of courtesy based on the fact that I have had help with it from folks around here. I really do not expect to sell the car to anyone here based on the simple fact that if you are visiting this forum, there is a strong chance you already have a nice LS.

 

[tylers65]

Gonna reduce the price based on some local prices with the miles I have with a minor adjustment for the mods.

I am thinking closer to $16,000 to $16,500.

Any thoughts?

whats the name of that paint?? i got the same one only i think mine is lighter then that.. i call it baby blue

 

[tylers65]

You know, I guess I just thought it was called "Medium Blue Metallic". If it has some special name, I have no idea what it is.

 

[LincolnLSpunk156]

if i remember right it's called ice blue metallic, lincoln only made it one or two years and it's been a while since weve seen them on our lot......

 

[HyeLifeLS]

that color is called "Aqua Blue", it was made on 01 and 02 cars only. Mine is the same color.

I think that you are going have a tough time selling it with the flames and rims.

Maybe you should keep it

Beautiful car. I just bought an LS, or I would fly out there and take it. I believe your price is right on, if not a little low. Try to sell it on the east coast; prices are higher here. Good luck with the sale.

I guess that means you do not like my flames or rims....

Your flames and rims are awesome looking, but it might not be appealing to a percentage of a crowd that want a nice, conservative looking luxury sport sedan.

The car looks great! Just might be too "wild" for some.

The nicest thing about this is that I am not in a hurry. I don't HAVE to sell it. I just want to shave some of my monthly expenses. Wife is 7 months along and (although she says I am over reacting) I want save more money just in case.

If I sell it, great. If not, no worries.

 

[tylers65]

Well,

Today The LS went away. I have proven once and for all that persistance pays off with dealerships.

I paid MSRP for a 2006 Honda Civic Hybrid (they are going for $3000 over MSRP) AND they gave me my pay off balance in trade for the LS. Yes, they gave me $15,300 for my 2001 Lincoln LS V8 with 62000 miles.

I still have my baby (the 65 Mustang Fastback) and now I have a car that is better for my 400 + miles per week commute.

Thanks for all the help everyone!!!!

See you on the road and pass you at the gas stations
