Re: Lincoln LS
Ron G, she'll love it. Mrs Boomyal has had hers now going on 5 months. Certainly not long enough to give you a reliability report but we have had no problems.<br /><br />I would stick to a 2003 or later as they have basically stayed the same since then and many issues had been worked out by then. I have a neigbor who has a 2000 V6 with about 60k miles on it. Although the earlier LS's were more prone to issues, theirs has been trouble free. They report about 18 +/- mpg in mixed driving and our experience, improving as we speak, (3k mi's on it now) is up to 17 mpg in mixed driving.<br /><br />As DJ said in my other post. It is a great drivers car and very hard to keep from 'using it'.<br /><br />It does not have as much room in the backseat or trunk as the new Lincoln Zephyr but it is a great two people luxo performance car, undoubtedly an excellent value, especially used.<br /><br />Since we got ours I have talked to numerous owners and they all love them. I did have one customer however, with a 2000 V6, that finally dumped it because of unsolveable electrical problems. She realized that she had a lemon and said she would not hesitate to buy another one.<br /><br />Also FYI, this is the last model year for the LS.
