Thank you - yes, it really did look almost as good as the day I bought it. What I found notable was how well the styling held up, compared to other cars of that era. If you didn't know, you wouldn't think it was from 2 decades ago. Such great lines and presence. I have more photos, but...

Might be an apples to oranges comparison, depending on the vehicle and the region. My CarMax quote is for $3000, it's a one-owner, low-mileage LS. The Ford dealer may have appraised higher thinking you were going to trade in (there are always trade-in "bonus" specials being offered around...

Thanks for the confirmation on several items. I'm still pondering the logistics and what would be involved. I did do a "test quote" from the closest CarMax this evening and am considering that as well. I didn't realize there was one about an hour away, and that may be the lowest hassle option.

What about handling test drives? I would expect going with the person, but is it okay to require they wear a mask?

Will be listing the LS for sale shortly (we simply don't need 3 vehicles and the other two are more practical). In the past, we haven't had much concern regarding private sale. Hoping for some guidance given the current environment (scammers, strangers, safe practices, etc.). It's been over...

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is this a situation that Seafoam (and a subsequent filter change) might help?

I still have mine (although I did try to sell it a couple of years and then it glitched on me so I pulled it from the market until we figured out the evap leak issue). I do use it as my primary vehicle, but I don't commute for work (I only drive it once a week or so) and I'm not sure it would...

Any particular codes? There are a couple of previous discussions on the forum that might help as well. Here's one that came up in a quick Google search Gas Cap There were at least 4 or 5 others when I searched on Lincoln LS Check Fuel Cap

How did I not find this before? Thank you!

I've had my LS smoked twice. It wasn't terribly expensive and it did point to the exact location of a very tiny leak that would have been impossible to find without "follow the smoke".

Had to dig to see you have a 2004... RockAuto has it for $116.89 More Information for MOTORCRAFT YG378 (the one for the first gen is more like $170 there)

Great..... I need one, too. No water, but we JUST replaced VCGs, plugs, and coils and made it a point to check this part. Anyone have the dimensions? Seems easy enough to fabricate with the right material and an X-acto knife. Would think some closed-cell foam of the right thickness, so then...

Title kinda describes the question. 2002 V8,. We've replaced COPS and plugs once, but it was maybe 7 or 8 years ago. And it's how I discovered LVC. Very grateful for the tutorial here. There was a little oil on the top of 2 at the time, but not enough to warrant VCGs. Of late on cold...

Wow - just Wow. There was a link in the article to a news station - maybe worth contacting them as well?

If you read through the article comments, it appears a CL ad for a 2004 LS in that area showed up that is "unusually coincidental". Hopefully officials have located the driver...

Tach's showing a reading, so engine must be on.

Ouch! I missed that the damage was that costly. Thinking of Joe's recent incident where his was covered by the other party's insurance.

So sorry to read this, but wondering why, since you were rear ended and it's the other person's fault, their insurance isn't paying 100% to make you whole.

It definitely is a tough repair, but that seems a little high. Does that $1800 include parts? As a data point, I paid $480 plus tax a year ago to have my '02 smoked, the tank dropped, and some leaks at the molded-in bits repaired by my local Ford dealer here in ETN.
