Why do I bother????  Group: Members Posts: 633 Joined: 8-September 03 From: Madison, MS Member No.: 1,123  |
But my new '01 Lincoln LS is one hell of a nice ride!
I started out looking at the BMW 7 series. WAY TOO MUCH COIN! I moved into the 5 series Didn't like as much and TOO MUCH COIN! Lincoln LS was looking nice. Read about the Jaguar engineering. S-type suspension. Drove the V8 and was PLANTED in the seat. That car hauls ass. Drove a V6 with the Sport package. Tighter suspension and Tiptronic type transmission. I am convinced that this car will outdrive the v8 unless we're in a straight line. I gave the guy a 99 Saturn SC1 with 135,000 miles (NADA Retail on the Saturn was $3500) and $6000 cash for it. All in all about $9500 including the sales tax. Car Blue Books at $12,725. I think I did OK. I am enjoying it, but I have some problems with saying that I own a Lincoln. This conjures images of the old man wearing a hat and driving his Town Car to the post office. Anyway, I love it!!! |

the LS is a very nice car...the V8 has power to spare, and the tiptronic style transmission is a fun plus. when it came out it was rivaling the 5 series and mercedes..great car..and enjoy her!

IMO, I think you made a good choice, I'm considering one too, I won't need to make a decision for a couple more moths. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

Nice car! I've admired them for a while, and am still considering a local V6 with a manual trans.
As mentioned earlier some auto-trans issues are starting to pop up. There are a couple of pretty good threads on that at the Lincoln LS forum: http://www.lincolnvscadillac.com/showthread.php?t=4126 One to keep an eye on . . . as a few of the dealers have fixed some of these even though they are out of warranty. |
