QUICK! Should I buy this LS ??

[Dutch]

Such good stuff. Thanks guys. I'll pour over the changes Ghost posted. I see a couple of 02 models posted on eBay listed as "Ivory Pearl." I'm guessing they mean the "Ivory Parchment Tri-Coat", or has someone heard of Ivory Pearl as well?

10/21/02 "..SST now allows 1st gear starts in SST mode.."

SST? I think I remember in 2000 the cars would not start off of the line in 1st gear. So if I read above correctly, they changed this on the 2003 model? If so, why the following from Ghost's list..
"..Sep 01 - RPM of 1st to 2nd gear upshift is increased.."

Is there a way to get into first gear for a fast start on a 2000 or 2002?

I have a 2000 and I can start in 1st, 2nd, or 3rd gear.

Thanks captain, very generous. I'm going to take a break looking for now. How much does the unlimited car fax cost?

Ref: Hollywood.. I'm actually Canadian. Whenever I sign up for something that asks me to input a zip code I just use the only one I know. 90210. Was a big fan... *gag*. But I will fly to Florida to scoop an Ivory 2002 at the right price!

A good deal, just $20-something. Feel free to send your requests. But note that carfax doesn't record accidents which the police weren't contacted or for accidents < $3000.

How about to Dallas ?

My daughter will consider selling her well maintained 2002 Ivory Parchment to a good home

$19,000 (less than she owes)
60,500 miles
2002 Lincoln LS V8 Auto Sport
Bright Chrome Lincoln wheels
6 disc in dash cd changer
etc.. etc..

Even the Borla Dual Exhaust that retails for about $800...
new tires, brakes, etc... - she is meticulous about her car...

Ford Extended Warranty - Premium Plan
I think it's the 100,000 mile one.

All in all, the car is in great condition, it's just her pocket book that needs fine tuning.

Your daughter definatly has my ideal car, and lives in an ideal climate. Any chance she'd put it in storage for 2 years until it depreciated down to the $12'000 range. I thought not. I'd love to see photos of it tho. I need a new screen saver. Thanks anyway.

Well Parchment, my carfax account just ran out, but I still have a 60 day account with experian auto check, which is a similar service to carfax. Let me know if you need a carfax; it's just a waste if no one uses it!

Here are some pics of my Ivory Parchment Metalic LS. Not sure if these will work for you but I thought I would share them with you. The one with the hood up is when I had my cylinder head replaced. Enjoy!
