Yeah, the cup holders are useless. I appreciate everyones help. Wikipedia indicates that there were 2331 manual LS cars produced over the three years. Another stream on LvC indicated 2341, I believe. I friend who has been selling Lincolns for almost 20 years said there were just a few thousand so that jives. The 'body kit' LSE's were rare, having only been made in 02', and most were fully loaded, meaning auto/V8. The dealer who sold me the car said that a customer who almost bought it just before me told him that there only about 130 manual LSE's. I was hoping someone could confirm that though.
