Looking into getting 2003 LS

[Chubbs765]

Drove to Cincinnati today and looked at a 2003 Lincoln Ls, had a few scratches on the bumpers but that's normal for a 10 year old car. But one thing that really caught my eye was that the notification center or whatever the hell is is was pushed in. Is there any way that could be fixed?

Notification center? Lol. Are you talking about the buttons ? Or the screen that is in the instrument cluster? Because the buttons can be fixed. But the insstrament cluster being punched in would seem really odd to me.

if its just the buttons, no big deal, even if they were not broke, you will be gluing them back together one day

They all push in eventually.

Take the vent off and glue it. The buttons are all on one piece and the screw portion is what fails. Make sure its some type of plastic bond that can withstand heat. And i would not run the ac system for awhile until it settles and the toxic fumes go away.

Yeah the buttons are a simple fix. A good buff out and wax from a professional and those scratches might be fixable too as long as it's in the clearcoat.

Not on either of my '06s. Then again, I don't push them like they will fight back!

I don't push them hard either, but I've had the issue on both my 06 and my 04. I think it's heat + time related, but I have no proof.
