The Lincoln? I bought it in 2005 for $19,500 I believe. It had about 40k miles on it at that point. I was pretty anal about keeping it clean... Paint cleaning, polishing, waxing twice per year, etc. The only mods I did to it was I picked up the Buick for about $24k in 2012 with maybe 25k...

$3,500 I think, which was right around the trade-in value at the time. Without the transmission problem, I could have sold it for quite a bit more to a private party, but I was happy to get what they gave me considering the fact that the transmission would occasionally get stuck in 3rd gear. I...

Well, technically, yes... I kept the car but then in March/April of 2012 the transmission had some major problems and it needed to be replaced which priced out at around $3500. At that point, the car wasn't worth much more than that so I ended up trading it in on the purchase of a 2011 Buick...

Well it finally happened. At 133000 miles the check transmission light came on. Brought it to the tranny guy who confirmed the worst. It needs a new transmission. $2600 and I could have her fixed. Decided against the repair and was successful in trading it in without the dealership picking up on...

Shameless bump...

I haven't been too active on the forum for quite awhile, but the time has finally come for me to part with my beloved LS. I wanted to make it available here on LvC before I officially list it because of all of the support I have received along the way from this forum. I would prefer a local...

That video is absolutely ridiculous - an angry mob hired by the Republicans? Give me a break. Obama, a self-proclaimed grassroots community organizer, is trying to put down the American people who are speaking out against this abomination that they call "health care reform" and he has the DNC...

I just went 420 miles on a tank of 93 in my 2002 V8 LSE. Probably 80% freeway and 20% city. However, most of my commutes include some sections of bumper to bumper traffic as well which would be similar to city driving. I averaged 24 MPG on that tank. During the winter months, I average...

Maybe the reason they are not selling is that you applied Tire-Wet to the tread of your tire... I'm pretty sure there is a warning about that on the bottle. :)

McCain had a decent chance until he added Palin to the ticket. Had he picked a VP who is actually "vice-presidential" in the purest sense of the word, like Mitt Romney or MN Governor Tim Pawlenty, he could have appealed to more moderates. Sarah Palin pushed the ticket too far to the right...

She is probably setting herself up to run for the Republican Presidential Nomination in the 2012 election without the burdens of the Governorship hampering things. I don't see her campaign going very far after the way she crippled the McCain ticket...

103,500 on the '02 LSE

Tint is rated at the percentage of light that passes through it - i.e. if you apply 35% tint to your headlights only 35% of the light would reach the road ahead of you. This would not be safe for you or other drivers on the road and would probably result in some expensive traffic tickets. This...

I was bored... Here is the link to the How-To thread: http://www.lincolnvscadillac.com/showthread.php?t=25687&highlight=window+regulator

Sounds like your window regulator went out. It is a common issue on the LS - it has happened to almost all of us. You will need a replacement window regulator which you can order from Max at Five Star Ford with an LvC discount. I know I have seen a thread on this site with pictures and...
