Be aware that there is a very limited market for the LS. They have a terrible reputation and it takes the right buyer to pay anything over trade in value for one. An 01 V8 to the right buyer private party maybe $4,000.00 on a great day but be prepared for offers in the $2,500.00 range. If you...

Yes the LS has the same center bore as the Jaguars. Center caps fit near perfect with just a slight lip and not 100% flush with bore face. The shade of silver is identical as well and matches perfectly as you can see. Not sure where this car ended up but buyer beware. It was sent to auction...

18"x 8" Jaguar XJ8 2004-2007 model year aluminum dynamic wheel. The car you are looking at was mine. I fit those wheels to the car in May of last year. I sent this car to auction late December. Id be curious to know where you found it?

From a strictly mechanical standpoint model year 05 and 06 are the most reliable the LS production had to offer. Still in no way a brakes and fluid change only car. You want a luxury car that only needs general/preventative maintenance get yourself a Lexus. I personally spent too much time...

Wanted to get back what I purchased the car for but the time has come to just get rid of it. Every attempt to store it for winter has failed because of another car or machine needing the garage space. $9,000 or best cash offer. The car is just plain in the way now that its started snowing for...

California since the 90s has had very strict emissions standards. Smog is terrible and air quality in southern California is horrible around any densely populated area on a hot day above 80 degrees. The majority of vehicles that meet California emissions standards and differ from the engineered...

How did you lift it suspension wise? or are you just referring to the extra height you gained from the larger tires? From the photo it doesnt even look lifted. Just looks like you stuffed a 31-32" tire in the wheel wells and now cant even drive the car lol.

2006 Lincoln LS 14,231 original miles Car is still for sale and will be until end of this week 11-18-17. If not sold by then I have made room to wedge the LS in the back of my garage behind some machines that will not move until spring time. $11,000 is the price I would like and the car is more...

For anyone else wondering the Gen II Lincoln LS 2003-2006 has the First generation Jaguar S-Type 2000-2002 front suspension/brakes minus coils and buckets. knuckle, ball joints, control arms, shocks, bearings, calipers, rotors, and pads are Jaguar parts not Ford. The rear suspension is second...

2006 Lincoln LS 14,000 original miles Just a bump. Car is still for sale. $11,000 USD takes it. Has 14,113mi to date. Car is located in Rhode Island at my summer beach house. I will be in Buffalo NY until a TBD date. Can possibly get to RI on weekends to show/sell car. Will be for sale until...

As joegr said it would be better to let it shift instead of taking off in 3rd gear. I myself would use 2nd gear to start and just ride 2nd gear to 30mph if needed. I highly doubt it would harm anything as long as you are not half throttle or better from a stop when taking off in 3rd. I use the...

Just bought two more cars and this LS is pretty much in the way now. $11,000.00 USD takes it. 13,540 miles to date and will rise as I take it out every other day for at least a 10 mile trip. This price is my absolute lowest price and I will use the car as a daily driver if no interest. Local...

Dont have garage space for this car anymore. Final price is $14,000.00 USD. The car has 13,347mi on it to date and needs nothing. Great car, I enjoyed the time ive had it so far but rather sell than let it sit outside and drive during winter. $14,000.00 is what I have into the car final purchase...

Ill have to look into the AJ37 intake casting. I know pretty much all years of the 4.3 and 4.7 AJ37 engines in the V8 Vantage were unique and not much in common with the AJv8s in the Jaguars/LS. The shop I used to work out of tries to buy all the British automobile insurance wrecks from the...

Thank you cammerfe. That answered my question. I also ran across your Land Speed LS thread as well. Fortunate for you but not for me. The reason I looked past even bothering with an engine swap (forced induction AJ33) was because over here in the NE if it came with any sort of factory...
