Greetings, Name is Mike. I just purchased a 2002 LS Sport, V8, moonroof, all season package and communication package. I was going to buy a 98 MK VIII but decided to go the new car route with the financing that's currently available. I really wanted a 2 door but the LS 4 door looks better than most. Reason for buying the LS: It's a BMW on steriods. I liked the looks, handeling and the fact it's a V8 with rear wheel drive. I think the sports package should have included the appearance package that will be another option later this year. Previous cars owned: 1948 Chevy - it was my first car and really old when I bought it. $75 1952 Chevy - Once again really old when I bought it. $50 1955 Chevy - The one I wanted in the first place. 1960 Corvette - Wish I still had it. 1965 Griffith - Worlds fastest accelerating production car. 0-60 3.8 seconds. Had lots of fun with this car. 1970s - A couple of full sized Chevys and Fords that were my father's ex company cars. These were purchased so I wouldn't have to drive the Griffith every day. 1978 Chevy Malibu - First new car. Bought to use in an outside sales job. 1988 Chevy Caprice Wagon - 2nd new car. The family truckster. It's been to a lot of baseball and lacrose games. Still have it. 145K miles. 1 transmission. 1992 Mercury Grand Marques - Bought used for my wife to drive. I've been driving 10 different company cars for the past 20 years. The LS is replacing the Grand Marq. which has 140K miles. Runs great. Wanna buy it? |

| My 2002 LS, V8, Sport came with Bridgestone Turamza EL 42 tires. These things sell for $185 and the previous Firestone Firehawks sell for $69. Are the Bridgestones that much better? | |
|
Don't know if they're that much better, but with the problems that Firestone is having, demand went way down while supply went way high, thus the discounted price. I think the Firestones originally sold for about $150. Bruno |

| My 2002 has the communication systen and part of that system is an onboard GPS. Does anyone know where the unit is located in the car and if it might have an output jack that I could use to feed a location signal to a laptop? Thanks. | |

Just a short note to introduce myself. I'm Pete Henry. I'm a System/Electrical/Software Engineer at a defense company in Pennsylvania. Bought a used 2001 LS V8 Sport from the Lincoln dealer in November 2001 (the original owner got swayed by 0% financing and traded this (leased) car in for a new V6 manual). Aside from some radio issues and a year's worth of gentle use no major problems with the car so far. So far good experience with the dealer (VERY good price negotiation), although the salesperson was very new at the job and not particularly knowledgeable. Dealer service is typically shabby (why do they try to charge you for complimentary scheduled service anyway?!?) but I plan to stick it out at least until the service runs out at 36K. Not many really interesting cars in my past history. Most notable a 1984 Mustang SVO (4 cyl turbo) bought new. Had to sell it as a precautionary measure after the son turned 15. You know how that goes... Current fleet: 1990 Plymouth Voyager (past its prime, barely worth the cost of a new paint job, but a convenient everyday car & hauler when the seats are out) 1993 Subaru Legacy (among the last of a breed - a 2WD Subaru) 1994 Mazda Miata (bought used in 1997 after aforementioned son graduated from college - time to spend some money on ME). 2001 LS V8 Sport The wife seems to have abandoned the Subaru in favor of the LS as a daily commuter... One other note - the son is now enjoying life as a Jaguar technician. The S-Type was one of the first Jags he didn't have disparaging comments about mechanically, and he vouches for the commonality between the S-Type and the LS. |

My name is Ray and I'm a cowboy wannabee. I was born and lived most of my life in Montreal (home of snow and rust belt). I've lived in the DFW area of Texas since 93 and can I tell you I don't miss snow and rust! Although Rene Leblanc is older than I, I've owned older cars than him. My first car purchased as a basket case for $10 when I was 12 was a 1930 Marquette. Quite rare as they were only built the one year as a poor man's Buick. Next came a 35 Chevy pickup. Given to me if I could get it to run - which I did. Put a rod through the block as it consumed gallons of oil per day. Eventually stuffed a 332 Buick V8 into it. 57 Ford Fairlane convertible next. 312 - 4BBL with 3 on the floor and Austin Healy bucket seats 63 Pontiac Parisenne Custom Sport Convertible. 327 - 4bbl buckets, stick etc. 66 Ford Galaxie 500 2 dr with 7 litre option. A pig but talk about torque - would melt the tires! 69 Pontiac Beaumont (Canadian Chevelle)1st new car.Paid $3200 and ordered as a drag strip special. 350/350, 4spd, posi, police package etc. 165 K trouble free miles and 3 seasons of drag racing 72 Mercury Montego - Boss 351 4 spd trac lock, police package etc. Big mistake. Compression down from 10.5:1 to 8.50. With standard steering and wide ovals it took 3 car lenghts to park. Clutch was a killer as well. Rusted out before my eyes. 74 Grand Torino Elite. Pimp mobile but that style was in back then. Also rusted out in one winter. 76 Olds Cutlass Supreme 2 dr. Extremely popular then. I owened 4 of them. 350 Olds engine was bullet proof. 80 Chevy Malibu sports coupe. Bought from the neighbor as a winter driver wih a V6. In the spring I replaced it with a 350 and then 2 more of progressively higher horsepower. Rust set in and I couldn't keep windshields in her. The unit body with all the torque and lack of metal(rust) flexed the body and cracked them. 82 Mustang coupe. 2.3 four banger was a dog but got decent gas mileage. Zero trunk space. 88 Pontiac Bonneville. Was exciting to see someone try and spiff up the four door family sedan. 3.8 V6 is still used today by GM. 93 Pontiac Transport. Family and pets to haul around. No justice. Now there'e no snow or rust and I own a plastic car! 96 Olds 88 LSS. Excellent car. Had more features than my LS at a fraction of the price. Sorry to see it discontinued. 2000 Lincoln LS. V8 non sport with every option but RESCU. Had wood kit installed, pin striped, gold kit (a Texas thing)and a cargo net.Talking to the Lincoln engineers my particular option combination no longer exits due to CAFE.Example full rear head rests and audiophile system, moon roof, chrome wheels etc. This is the first car I've owned that I feel confident in at 140 mph.

I own a 2000 Lincoln LS (Sport Package) and have been experiencing problems with my power windows. If anyone else has experienced similar problems, I would appreciate your comments. The problem is that the regulator / motor that drives the power windows on three of my four windows have failed. The first failure was within the warranty period, so it was covered. The last two have costing me $300+ per. Have any of you experiences similar problems? |
