I am concidering perchasing a 2000 Lincoln LS V6 Sport (5 speed manual). I say the V6 because of the near 50/50 weight balance and the 0-60 time is almost exactly the same as the V8 model. The price range is $12000-$15750 US ($15000-$20000 Canadian). I'm looking for more of a comfortable car, leather, heated seats, ect. Think that it would be a good choice for the price?

I like those cars. I seen one at Barret Jackson with all carbon fiber interior. I think it was the V8 cause it rumbled.


I priced it on KBB.com. You never said how many miles were on it so I gave it 12,000 miles a year.

Consumer Rated Condition: Excellent
"Excellent" condition means that the vehicle looks great, is in excellent mechanical condition and needs no reconditioning. It should pass a smog inspection. The engine compartment should be clean, with no fluid leaks. The paint is glossy and the body and interior are free of any wear or visible defects. There is no rust. The tires are the proper size and match and are new or nearly new. A clean title history is assumed. This is an exceptional vehicle.

I just like those cars, in general. They're one of the best looking luxery American sedans, in my opinion. Probably only second to the Caddy CTS, and that's kind of an acquired taste.

Anyway, for that kind of price, I think it's a very good choice. I always thought they'd cost a lot more than that.

Kind of reminds me of a BMW.

yea always reminded me of a 5 series.... oh but by far the best lookin sedan besides maybe a full size caddy... bleh on cts (no offense)
those v-8's in em can make big power easy, and i think you can put some fat *** tread on the rear

yea and some still come with that legendary lincoln air susp.... soo smooth

My dad had a Lincoln with air-ride back in the day, so here is my advice to you (if the LS has that air susp) get rid of it when it's under six or eight years old unless you want to replace **** that works those bags all the friggen time. They're at least $500 a pop, and after a while, it's not worth the luxory anymore.

Ya I don't believe that air-bags come stock on the LS, it's based off of a Jaguar chassis and it's shared with the new Thunderbirds. Air bag's would be phat though, my grandpa has a old mid-50's 4 door Caddy with bags, it'd be a nice project if he'd give it up before the shed falls on it. Thanks for the site Bellz, they seem to have some good info on the LS's.
