    Mechanic has his doubts

    It's all about the flow and efficiency of air and fuel. Air flowing in and mixing with fuel in the combustion chamber, then burning, then flowing through the exhaust valves, into the exhaust manifolds and then out the exhaust. The less restrictions through the system, and the more efficient the...

    bad day rant, and a question....

    Car has less than 15K miles and THX/Nav, certification 6yr/75K warranty and on the overall, most 03-04 cars around here get over 20K with around 30-40K on the odometer.

    bad day rant, and a question....

    yeah, tell me about it. I told him straight "Tell me now, because I am not wasting my time going there if you are going to tell me its not 19,9." I then said "if after you review it with your manager, can sell it for that, call me, and I will come down".

    bad day rant, and a question....

    Well, after sitting in 2.5 hours of traffic on my way to work with my current ride (2000 Mustang GT vert), I am on the dreaded BQE when I come across a sharp metal object in the road that was unavoidable.... Punctures and slices my 2 month old BFG KDW right front tire, but luckily I was able to...

    More Starting Problems

    Does the LS have a solenoid/starter between the battery and starter? If it does it could be that. I am not familiar with the 3.9 engine system, but on older small block Fords from the 80s-90s, this was common. A $12 part fixed the problem. If it does make a clicking/whining sound when you turn...

    Looking for purchase advice

    I am in the market for one too, and in NY. 18,500 should get you an 03 V8 with about 35-40K miles. As for maintenance cost, it seems to be on the higher cost end when things are needed however most cars seem to not need a lot outside of the regular maintenance. I ran a check on my fathers...

    Let me know your thoughts.

    depends really. Everything has a price, and everything has a value. The car is already 6 years old. Some people sometimes even see lack of use as a deterrent. I've recently seen 02's with 25K miles for as little as 15K.

    whats this 02 worth?

    They gave you 9500 on a flood car? Geez.... I have a clean 00 black Mustang GT convertible with just over 40K on the odometer and they are only offering me 9300 on trade. Retail on the car is 14K and there are dealers still selling 00 droptop GT's for 16K. I was asking 14K and I've got...

    whats this 02 worth?

    I've found a very clean 02 LS, medium grey metallic, one owner, clean carfax, however it's got 62K on the odometer. I checked everywhere on the car. No evidence of oil leakage around the VC gaskets, and no rust to speak of. A couple of minor nicks (very minor), but overall a pretty clean car. IS...

    THX/GPS question

    Thanks for the responses guys. Unforunately, even the crooks around the lot I park aren't the brightest, so they aren't usually looking to make a few bucks, but moreso looking to fill their weed pipe. The car is an excellent price (under 20K) V8, red, black leather, loaded, under 20K miles. I...

    THX/GPS question

    I wanted to find out if the display from the 2003-2006 GPS/THX audio display is removable. I know it folds down, but is it a detachable face type display? I've never seen one in person, so I don't honestly know. I've been shopping for an LS, and spotted one with this however, don't want it...

    Custom Exhaust

    I'd personally advise against Flowmasters for an LS. however, the Dynomax might give it a nice tone, and also take up a little less space underneath.

    02 LSE V8 vs. 03 V8.... which?

    I've found a couple of LS's I am interested in. One is an 02 LSE black, chrome wheels, yada yada, the other an 03 LS, but burgendy, clean, the Sport model with a V8 (not overly thrilled with the color, but my wife likes the color). Both are in the same price range (16,5) with mileage around...

    Looking to buy BLK 00-02 Lincoln LS

    Specific price range? I assume the NHP in your profile is New Hyde Park, since it looks like that's a NY license plate in your avatar. I saw a couple in Newsday but don't know if they were the sport editions. I know the Baron Auto dealer chain (I forget which branch) in Queens has a black...

    Would you get another LS?

    Any car, as parts are added will become less reliable, as the engine (and car) is no longer operating as designed. There are however parts that can certainly enhance a cars performance whether it be an air filter or an exhaust. While I can agree the designs are different, take into...

    Would you get another LS?

    As the original poster, I'd ask to lets keep this civil. I am trying to get a feel for the car, without WWIII breaking out over this vs. that. As an aside, in all my years of owning cars (I've been driving for 15 years and have owned numerous Mustangs), I have never seen a engine dismantle...
