It's a 3.0L V6 not a 2.8. 2000 models had a few teething problems since that was the very first year. Mine was a 2000 V8 - kept it 6 years with no major problems and only 2 or 3 minor issues.
 
If it runs good with no hesitation or misfires or loss of power and the cooling fan seems to be working and the transmission was already replaced then I'd say it's worth the risk. But no car is perfect and you could have a few hundred dollar repair at some point.

Ya I am going to check out the car in a couple of days. I hope everything runs well. I'm just worried about the major repair costs that I have been reading about and all those problems that people seem to be having with it. Also I was wondering if the repairs to the car could be done easily or does it have to be sent to a specific mechanic that fixes Lincolns?

They're pretty decent cars but with that mileage you're gonna put some money in to it at some point. It's good if the front end has had work done 'cause that's one problem area. AKIRBY mentioned most of the others. Window regulators is one more.
 
If you know a good independent mechanic ask if he would work on it. Anything done at a Lincoln dealer will be expensive. The guy who works on my cars has worked on a lot of LS's and has no problem fixing mine.
