Friends,
Newbie here! I’ve been lurking here for about a week now and as one interested in the Lincoln LS, I was glad to find such a place. I absolutely adorn the looks of the Lincoln LS, not to mention it’s American made, a Ford product, rear wheel drive, and something I’ve had my eye on since my senior year of Grad School 2001. In the fall of 2001 I was sitting at a stoplight when a jet-black version pulled up right next to me. I was in such awe of it then that my desire to own five years later has never left me. Getting through school was a hump and setting up a business and getting started was almost as bad. Money was tight and thus I put the car out of sight and tried to pay very little attention to anything regarding the car. Temptation is a terrible thing and for me it is best that I manage it this way…..outta sight, outta mind. Anyway, I’m about 6-9 months out from possibly purchasing a used one and was hoping for some insight. I’ve read through the forums and one of the things I note is that the car seems prone to problems, especially transmission problems. I want a V-8 model and was hoping someone could provide insight on what to look for in purchasing a used model? Possibly model years to stay away from, options that come highly recommended, anything regarding the purchase of this particular car. Thanks in advance for your time and respective comments.
Thanks,
John
