Hello guys, I currently have the 00' Lincoln LS v6 and it was a good run. Spent a lot of money such as the trans, ball joints, etc... My cousin picked up an 09 deville and I have to admit it's a frickin sweet car. I saw a few 04 - 08 models on craigslist for dirt cheap. Before I take the dive, what problems do these cars have? I'm interested to know how much money it takes to fix them, common issues, etc..
Thinking about switching over to a Deville

Well the Devilles after 2000 were made between 2000-2005, and 2006-2011 they were replaced by the DTS. As for common issues, the 06-11 DTS has fewer ones than the 00-05 Devilles do. For starters there's the Head gasket issues the Devilles from 2000-2003 suffer from, 2004 the Northstar received new bolt design. They sometimes leak oil due to a leaky crankcase design, not as common on the later DTS, they love eating up motor mounts as well, that's pretty much all I can think of for now.

your better off to go with a Town Car honestly
Not necessarily if he's talking about the 2006-2011 DTS.

My boss has an 04 Deville DTS. He's put a couple grand into the car and it still has warning lights on the dash. He repaired 1 oil leak. Replaced the stock cracked wheels a $500 alternator replacement. The CD player doesn't work and there is no easy kit to hook up aftermarket. It's reliable. He just deals with the engine lights.
