(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: Silver02Sport

Ok so I drop the LS off at lincoln on my lunch today to have a front end rattle looked at. Then at about six I get a call from them, turns out its a salesman asking if I'd be intrested in upgrading to a 06 says he will knock $10,000 off the sticker on any 06 LS on the lot and give me between $15-17,000 for my 02 with 55,000 mile. We talked a little and he says he has one in Black with the Elite Package thats Navagation, HID's, Chrome wheels, and Cooled seets for $47k if I get $15k for my 02 with the discount it would be like 22 grand.

I know its a good deal but 22 grand is still A lot of money and I like that I own the 02 outright and I did just extended the warranty not to mention and I love the borla exhaust and wings west body kit on mine. But It dose have about 55,000 miles on it and I have had it in more then a few times and the mpg have never been what they should be. What do you guys think I should do.

If it was me I would probably go and check it out but in the end, having a car that is paid for is better than going and getting back into 4 yrs or whatever even if its a sexy new LS. Maybe ask about a 2 yr lease or something. Of course no modding can be done and it sounds like you do that kind of thing, I know that is my only problem w/ leasing.

Where are you? I would love to get between 15 and 17 for my LS. Have 'em call me lol.

Oh, my last comment did not mean my LS is in bad shape, its in excellent condition, just dealers here are such tighta$$' and you cannot get jack for anything less than a BMW or some high end crap.

Check them out, but beware. All of the Linc dealers are offering 10,000 off of the LS(for some time now). I got mine in April, with the discount. Try to get some more off if you are going to start having payments again

Posted by: Beamer

^ Yea I forgot to mention the discount on them. It is a good deal getting a new car like that for low-mid 20's but you figure you could get an '06 in a couple of yrs for just under 20 depending on miles and condition.

^ Yeah, but it'd be used. *cringes* haha jk

Well hears the thing I could pay it off in a few months but that would basically cut my savings in half.

I had a buick dealership offer me $15k a few months ago for it so that seems to be the going price around South Florida

LOL when I told my dad about it he sugested I trade in his 06 Accord insted because he hates it so much.

Oh ya its a V8 Sport with 55,000 miles.

I recently tried to trade my '03 LS V8 Sport in on an '04 Deville. They only offered me $15,800. It has 38K on the odometer. I told them what they could do with the offer.

Posted by: Beamer

Well good luck w/ what you decide, if my car was almost or was paid off and still had way under 100,000 miles I would tell 'em its nice they offered but I do not feel like going back into another payment unless I had plenty of money.

I remember getting a price of 17K thrown at my LS for a trade in, I about hit the roof because that was way more than previous dealers. Only reason I did not do it is cause they still wanted me to pay 100 more a month.

I have pissed off just about every dealer w/in 50 miles of me because I'm not a dumbass when it comes to buying a car. I analyze every bit of it and it makes the dealer really upset lol. I'm not calling anyone on here a dumbass, but people around here get anything w/out knowing jack until the last paper is signed. My co-worker is paying over $600 a month for a Olds Aurora v8, not sure of the year but its atleast 6 yrs old and she still owes like 17K, I asked what they were thinking? She said they were just excited about getting a car.

hey if you can pay it off in a couple of months then go and do it, have them transfer the extended warrenty that you just purchased to the new 06 so you wont loose the $, it can be done cuz i had a focuz with the extended warrenty and from the same dealer i got my LS and they honored my warrenty and put it on the LS.
