Well to be honest and don't take it the wrong way.

Whats the point of having Two V8 RWD cars, Even if you sell your TA.

My friend has the V8 LS. Quick car for what it is, great handling, riding,etc. Good all around car if you ask me.

**hutch1999** · 12-24-2007, 11:58 AM

I like the LS sorta reminds me of a baby lexus, nice looking ride esp for a Lincoln. The ride is great.

I do, sort of. My moms got a town car and it is one of the best riding cars ive ever been in. Last weekend I just took it on a 200 mile round trip in the rain and snow and it was great. Not to many nickel and dime problems. The only thing was an intake problem last year.

give it time ... and a Town Car is not a LS , and heavem forgid you ever want to sell the LS .. no reale value at all ...

**Zapper2003** · 12-24-2007, 12:39 PM

I enjoy the looks of the car, and I even saw one in a rag a few years back with a very very minor ground effects kit on it (i'm talking like a chin-spoiler on the front, nothing more) and a worked engine with go-go gadget gas in the trunk. Looked good. (had big rims)

**Zapper2003** · 12-24-2007, 12:40 PM

Look at the Jaguar X-type. Yeah its only a 2.5L 6cyl, 5spd, leather interior, AWD. They can be had reasonably cheap, 12-15k used usually with 20k-ish miles.

We've gave it time, we have put 30,000 miles on it and the intake leak was the only thing thats went wrong. But you are right LS resale is not verry good.

And what do you think jaguar is? Thats a ford. Its the same as LS and Ford Mondeo.

I do agree though, you are better off with a jaguar. They cost around the same, but lose their resale value.

i like the lincoln ls as long as i haven't had to work on it. its a jaguar design, and anyone thats been under the hood of one knows this. as far as how they drive? They drive wonderful. The power is smooth, the ride is like a cloud. From what I understand though they are very expensive to own because they are such a bitch to service.

**Zapper2003** · 12-24-2007, 12:51 PM

Yeah, I knew the Jag was a ford-based car. And yes, their value dropped outta their ass as soon as they rolled off the lot. 38k for a NEW X-type, and 2 years later they sell used for 15? Sounds good to me!
