Hello, I am thinking about buying a 2002 deville w/ about 60K on it. I was wondering if these cars are well built for this year. I have an 00 lincoln LS that has been nothing but problems and I'm looking for a reliable car w/ some style. Any thoughts are appreciated.
thanks
BTW it's a 2000 V8 w/ 75K. I just got it back last night and haven't even looked at the oil yet. The mechanic said it looked like water. Would the coolant make it look milky?
I just got my car back from my mechanic. I had the valve cover job done about 6 months ago and was still seeing oil burning on the pass. side of the engine and they relplaced that side again and said all of the plugs and boots looked good. I told the mechanic that I had been getting a spike in...

the mechanic did claim to have checked the coils out but it just seems like they have something to do with this. The hoses look fine but I can give them a closer look (might be the cause of the cabin smell). I too have noticed this smoking referenced in the link, maybe twice, and my mechanic...
I have a 2000 ls V8 w/ 70k. About 6 months ago I had a CEL light come on and it was a cylinder misfire. I had the valve cover gasket, plugs, boots and 2 coils replaced (all on 1 side, 1 and 3, 2 had been replaced previously). This fix did a little to help and now the car is shaking at idle and...
