Great forum. Just bought my second LSE, an '05. Had one 5 years ago and sold it when I got a company car. Now that we have an allowance option, went back to the LSE. Got one cheap ($6k) with 109k miles that needs a little sorting.
Here's what I've got coming in/installing/installed:
1. Solenoid pack, filter, Castrol Mercon V (delay shift from P to R or D, harsh 3-4 shift) (bought a Mityvac 2 gal to replace fluid along with the Ford nipple)
2. Coil packs. Duh! (throws an occasional cyl 1 misfire, just replace all) New NKG plugs as well.
3. Brakes - vibrate slightly, pads about 30%. Bought the Eline diamond slot kit off eBay with ceramic pads. Bought two new front wheel bearings as well since I have some humming coming from the front.
4. Polished headlights (600,1000,2000 and buff) Look 100% better. Not sandblasted anymore.
5. Fog lights. One was broken, so replaced both.
6. Tires. Had unmatched set that was mostly worn. Got the new Toyo Proxes Four Plus. Great shoes so far!
7. Oil change with Penzoil Platinum 5w20 and K&N filter ($29.99 special at Advance!!)
8. K&N air filter, Purolator cabin filter
9. Two new PATS keys and remotes (car came with one worn key).
10. B&I dash kit in brushed aluminum (Hate the cheap silver plastic)
Got some things done and waiting on some warmer weather to do the trans and cops. Cosmetically the car is great. Need to have the front bumper re-done from curb rash on the bottom, but that's it. Even the chrome wheels have NO peeling/corrosion!! Interior near perfect. Carfax two owner car. A little sorting, and it'll be a great ride.
Recently got a '07 Cadillac DTS Performance, so this forum is perfect! Great info here guys. Thanks!
