2001 Lincoln LS V8 walk around, drive by, and acceleration

2001 Lincoln LS V8. This car has the V8 sport package with the 3.9 V8, same motor in the ford thunderbird and the car is ridding on the same chassis as the jaguar S-type. so with near perfect 50-50 weight distribution with it's all aluminum V8, the V6 seems too boring...

These cars are a lot of fun, for sure. I bought one about 2 months ago with the same thing in mind. Wanted a V8. I wish I had read into it a little more, because this car has turned into a mechanical nightmare. Already dealing with a blown head gasket, and some sort of tranny issue. The V8 engines in these cars just aren't all that reliable. Take good care of it, and maybe you'll have better luck than I! Nice looking car. :)

@EpicEnigmatic my mom is buying an 03 with 83000 miles for 5,000

@1969MustangMACH1 the OD gear in these cars is really weird, it picks up as soon as you crest 55 kph and if you abruptly take your foot off the throttle it feels like it drops the gear and slips, I think it has something to do with the ratio from 5-2 or 5-3, but it seems to skip 4th completely on the comedown... wondering if that's normal on most new-er transmissions or if it's just another one of the LS quarky design flaws? not mechanic but I can tell the drop from 5-3 is odd

i bought one today that looks alot like this. mine had 141 thousand miles and i got it 5,500. really impressed by this car.

@inuyasha555 17mpg-26mpg is what they say but I get about 15mpg

[inuyasha555]

what do you average for mpg?

[GodlessMartyr666]

Reason for being discontinued as follows: Lincoln division was producing too many vehicles with their planned release of the mks and mkz to replace the zephyr and LS, other vehicles in development required funding, and they only managed to sell 8 thousand or so LS in 2006... Dead end, car was discontinued.

[GodlessMartyr666]

@1997FordProbeGT discontinued vehicle, limited run / limited parts = cheaper to purchase but much more expensive to maintain and own, and these suckers broke down alot apparently , I just bought a 2001 with 161,000kms on the dash so I hope this isn't the case...
