I get my new car monday!

[Nakoa]

Im getting a 1999 executive. leather, woodgrain, all the same stuff the signature series has.

my mom and i went to the lincoln dealership and talked to this salesman over a couple of weeks, and the car we settled upon was his wifes old car. they traded it in for a new one, and he said he could get us a better deal on that car than any car on the lot.

it only has 50k on it, been perfectly maintained, all records, oil changes every 3 k, had it cleaned regularly. they had custom pinstripe job done on it, which was about 6 or 700 dollars(cant remember what he said). they were handpainted, and the artists signature is in the stripe. there are 2 stars(look like an asterik, but bigger)painted beside the executive logos by the rear window which i think is really cool, gives the car soemthign to make it stand out.brand new tires on it, dark tinted windows.
i originally wanted the touring edition signature series, but it has 75k on it and he can get us a better deal on this one. and it is still just as gorgeous.


and if things work out on it, it will only cost about $8000.

I have 2 questions.

I want to keep it as stock as i can, is there a way i can get a stock cd changer and hook it up to the car, or am i going to have to go aftermarket for the stereo?

and,
Ive gotta have my hood ornament so..

would it cost much to get one put on? or is it possible? i think a hood oranament would set the car off(and definately make it unique).

im keeping the stock wheels, i think they look bitchin.


any suggestions welcome. ill post pics the day i get it(if i can keep myself out of it for long enough)

Stock? What the hell is "stock"?

PI heads and intake, K&N cold air, Marauder airbox/ 80mm MAF, dual exhaust, pulley's, chip. That'll give her a hundred more horsies... :gr_devil:

Ok, you can get stock CD changers, etc. from eBay. If you go dealer, you'll take a hit. The CD changer's plug should be located in the drivers side trunk area, usually around the air suspension shut-off switch. Those wires come directly from the CD player up front and plug into the radio: similar to this:

Look for a weird 3-prong plug thing with 3 wires. It should be there, I found it when installing a stereo in my 98 Crown Vic, even though it came with no stock changer; they install them at the factory no matter what- it just makes the dealership's lives easier and more profitable.

But of course, that's if you want to maintain stock look. I'll always recommend aftermarket.

Here's a stock Ford systems CD changer with the plug already in it from eBay...CD Changer
