Hey guys I am selling my 2001 Lincoln LS. Below are some bulleted points about the car. - Smooth engine - Tranny shifts smoothly - Body is in excellent shape - New tires - Interior is in great shape - Windows elevate and lower excellently - Sun roof works and does not leak - Needs ball...

How's the rebuild coming overall?

Was this car considered under powered for its time?

Well gentlemen I made a thread in regards to design flaws so I thought I would make a counter thread. What did Lincoln do right when they made the LS? What design traits do you feel were really excellent and should have continued to today?

I concur on this one. My old 88 Mark 7 has a functioning low oil level light. It warns you right when you are about a quart low.

Thanks for the input Joegr.

I would love to have them as I have an 01 but short on cash right now.

Well I just swapped the degas bottle, t-stat, cap, some hoses going to the bottle, and had the system bled. The AC was already having issues blowing cold and I never had a real overheat situation in terms of the car going in limp home mode or even hitting the hot on the gauge.

Hey gentlemen my 01 needs to have the AC recharged so I pose this question to you. I have heard from several mechanics that the recharge canisters you get from Autozone, O'Reilly's, etc....actually aren't so hot for the system overall. Is their any truth behind this?

Not to hijack my own topic guys but man this LS is really growing on me. It looks like my Degas Bottle/T-Stat/Lines to Degas/Degas Cap repair went okay. Compared to what I have driven in the past this engine/transmission is seamless in operation.

That much more performance? :)

Wasn't it designed more as a single man's luxury sport?

Well gentlemen after reading all the responses both positive and negative about the LS let me say this much. I am still on the edge between selling my 01 or going in one hundred percent like I have with other cars in truly making it "mine". By "mine" I mean fixing every single issue that...

I drove it and the degas bottle didn't overflow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree and apologize for a repeat thread. I am somewhat new to the LS world and am weighing this car out heavily before going all out in a committed relationship with this car. Besides my 2012 Camry the 2001 LS is the newest car I have ever owned and not being able to work on it much myself...
