Goodbye LVC

[b.leee5]

I have been around for a while, previously under the username buddyleee5, and learned alot of useful information. In some ways I am sad to see my LS go but it other ways i couldnt be happier. I replaced the LS with a 2008 Infiniti G37S coupe. The engine is the same base engine thats in the 350z, the maxima (with the big engine), and is also the base of the nissan GTR. The car handles great right out of the box and is a nice change from the slug of a 2003 v6 i previously owned. I am getting the windows, tail lights, and headlights tinted this week. And here are some pictures

[Eric0508]

everyone is leaving!!!

 

[SPSully]

im not!!!!!!!

 

[rainjacks]

im not!!!!!!!

Me either. I can't afford to. Especially with the upgrade cars these people are getting.

 

[SPSully]

good call! If I had the money to trace my LS in for a Benz or G37, I'd already have a 9 second LS and a 10 second Mark VIII and maybe a Navigator with a TT 6-700hp demon under the hood




oh well! Nice car man! I think Infinty did a nice job the 37 over the 35

I wonder what kind of aftermarket there is for those already

crazy amount of aftermarket stuff. The base of the engine like i said is in the 350z and the GTR. I actually found a twin turbo kit online for it yesterday that claims it will put the output close to what the GTR's is, or around 500 horsepower. I didnt investigate it though, i'm just saying what i read

 

[SPSully]

i wanna see it some time. I'm in southern mass/ri pretty often

I ran against a G37 at the track, don't believe it was a S though. Moved pretty good. I left him at the lite and he couldn't catch me but trapped 100 even I believe.

 

[SPSully]

I ran my buddy in his G35..... thought for sure he'd win. left him over 2 seconds behind. Ok so I sprayed and he cant drive for sh*t! you should have heard the ricer excuses when we were talking about the night

me-"dude you stalled"
him-"my traction control kicked in even with it off."



ooops...I didnt say that. No I didnt run the track recently

i am not trying to be nosey, but i have a 2003 ls6 with 60000 miles it has navigation and all options what are they offering for trades up that way, i was offered 9000 i laughed and walked away with my feeling hurt LOL

TAKE THAT AND RUN!!!!!

They offered me $6k for a 2003 ls6 with 63k and everything but nav in it. I sold it privately for $7900. Within the 2 weeks i had it listed for sale the KBB price dropped for one in excellent condition from 8900 to 8500 so if they were giving you 9k I'd say thats about the best you'll get anywhere

 

[lincolnx2]

its amazing how fast cars depreciate i paid 20 2 years ago with 30000 miles. i was going to trade it in on a MKZ, any advice on that

 

[SPSully]

dont

 

[lincolnx2]

if its not the MKZ i want a BMW 525 used of coarse. My wife has an Aviator and that takes all our money in gas, so i need a 6 cylinder, but i am from detroit and love lincolns and fords

 

[b.leee5]

I looked at American cars, becasue with the rebates on some of them right now the price can't be beat, but hte depreciation and the reliability were what drove me away. Infiniti was ranked 2nd in initial quality by jd power behind porche, and they were ranked #1 in highest residual value. Edmunds recently ranked the g series as #7 on the cars that hold their value best. I dont need a 4 door car so the coupe is just fine with me. The sound system is great, i have the paddle shifters on the steering wheel, the power is fine and its got all the gadgets you would get if you were to buy the mks, or which ever one is more expensive, i get them confused

 

[SPSully]

i do like the 350hp awd eco turbo of the MKS..... but the LS is still the cleanest lined Lincoln I can think of. The new MKZ that you like is close, but just doesnt do it for me.
