2005 Lincoln Ls - Lse Sport Sedan 4-door 3.9l Last Year Made! on 2040-cars
Ellettsville, Indiana, United States
A very nice looking and driving car. These cars are basically Jaguar S-types with a Lincoln body, Jag engine and Ford transmission. One of the best handling cars I've ever owned! This is the rare LSE edition. The last year the LSE was offered. Unique body treatments, including unique front fascia, rocker panels, rear fascia and chrome 8 spoke wheels. Very rare! Car has been well taken care of and drives very well. Very tight. Tracks and handles like a true sports car. This chassis, the DEW98 from Ford, was the basis for the '05 up Mustang and was shared by not only the Jag S, but the Ford Thunderbird as well. A great chassis! The interior is near new. No flaws are visibly present. The drivers seat shows minimal wear, but no discoloration or holes, just slight wrinkling you'd expect from a car with half the mileage. The exterior has one rear door that was refinished. The match could have been better, but it's not enough for me to worry about. The front fascia has the typical bug/rock chips you would expect from 8 years and 118k miles of driving. The rear fascia has one spot on it from a car wash that could use touched up. All VERY minor stuff.
The car had a very clean Ford Oasis report and all maintenance was done up through the warranty period ending. The car has newer Toyo Proxes-4 tires on it. They have about 6k miles, and were recently rotated. I use Mobil One synthetic in all my cars and the oil was recently changed. If your looking for a great sports sedan, that looks expensive and drives like a Porsche for less than eight grand, then this is your car. Newer Brembo slotted/drilled rotors have been installed along with ceramic pads. The thing stops on a Canadian dime! A new Motorcraft battery was installed a couple months ago. Coil packs have just been replaced, and the dreaded transmission solenoid pack has been replaced as well. Car runs and drives like it should and then some. No disappointments! Mileage will change, as it is my daily driver. The car also has a BEL remote radar/laser detector installed ($1200 new). Works VERY well! (don't ask how I know!) Car is priced well below Kelly Blue book. Bought a new Cadillac and this has to go. Check my feedback, I've bought and sold many cars on eBay and all transactions have been very positive. Fly in and drive it home. You'll love this car! |

Dodge Dart falls short of Consumer Reports Recommended, Caddy XTS and Lincoln MKS, too
Thu, 22 Nov 2012The Dodge Dart, Cadillac XTS and Lincoln MKS all failed to earn a "Recommended" rating from Consumer Reports. When it came to the compact Dart, the organization's testers thought the vehicle offered a quiet cabin, solid-feeling chassis and nimble suspension, but the new model ultimately fell short of the coveted rating due to powertrain issues. The institute's reviewers found the base 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine to be underpowered and noted "drivability issues" when the available turbocharged 1.4-liter four was paired with the optional dual-clutch transmission (some of our editors disliked it paired with the six-speed manual). CR also dinged the latter powerplant for sounding "raspy." For what it's worth, we think the forced-induction engine offers an excellent and playful exhaust note, but that's just us.
As for the XTS, CR lauded the car for its luxurious cabin, but the vehicle's experience was dulled by its finicky CUE infotainment interface. Overall, the big Cadillac scored much higher than its cross-town rival from Lincoln. While testers found the American luxury sedan to offer a quiet ride and quality fit and finish, they felt the MKS delivered a "cramped driving position, ungainly handling, uncomposed ride, and limited visibility." Ouch. At the end of the day, both cars fell short of rivals from Japan, Germany and Korea. Check out the full press release below with more details, along with CR's musings on the Chevrolet Spark and Lexus ES.
Here are a few of our automotive guilty pleasures
Tue, Jun 23 2020It goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway. The world is full of cars, and just about as many of them are bad as are good. It's pretty easy to pick which fall into each category after giving them a thorough walkaround and, more important, driving them. But every once in a while, an automobile straddles the line somehow between good and bad — it may be hideously overpriced and therefore a marketplace failure, it may be stupid quick in a straight line but handles like a drunken noodle, or it may have an interior that looks like it was made of a mess of injection-molded Legos. Heck, maybe all three. Yet there's something special about some bad cars that actually makes them likable. The idea for this list came to me while I was browsing classified ads for cars within a few hundred miles of my house. I ran across a few oddballs and shared them with the rest of the team in our online chat room. It turns out several of us have a few automotive guilty pleasures that we're willing to admit to. We'll call a few of 'em out here. Feel free to share some of your own in the comments below. Dodge Neon SRT4 and Caliber SRT4: The Neon was a passably good and plucky little city car when it debuted for the 1995 model year. The Caliber, which replaced the aging Neon and sought to replace its friendly marketing campaign with something more sinister, was panned from the very outset for its cheap interior furnishings, but at least offered some decent utility with its hatchback shape. What the two little front-wheel-drive Dodge models have in common are their rip-roarin' SRT variants, each powered by turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines. Known for their propensity to light up their front tires under hard acceleration, the duo were legitimately quick and fun to drive with a fantastic turbo whoosh that called to mind the early days of turbo technology. — Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski Chevrolet HHR SS: Chevy's HHR SS came out early in my automotive journalism career, and I have fond memories of the press launch (and having dinner with Bob Lutz) that included plenty of tire-smoking hard launches and demonstrations of the manual transmission's no-lift shift feature. The 260-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder was and still is a spunky little engine that makes the retro-inspired HHR a fun little hot rod that works quite well as a fun little daily driver.
Ford announces two recalls, 442k vehicles affected in North America
Wed, May 27 2015Ford is announcing two recalls for North American that affect a total of 442,300 vehicles and multiple model lines. The larger campaign covers the possibility of electric power steering systems that can fail in the 2011-2013 Ford Flex, Taurus, Lincoln MKS, and MKT; the 2011-2012 Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ; and the 2011 Mercury Milan. This recall affects 422,814 vehicles in North America, including 393,622 in the United States, 25,195 in Canada, and 3,997 in Mexico. According to the company, an intermittent electrical connection can cause the power steering to cut out, although manual steering would still work. Ford knows of four minor accidents from this issue, but there are no injuries. Depending on trouble codes from the vehicle, dealers will either upgrade software for the power steering control module or replace the steering gear. The second recall covers 19,486 examples of the 2015 Ford Mustang with the 2.3-liter EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder engine with a production date between February 14, 2014, and February 10, 2015 at the Flat Rock Assembly Plant. Specifically, there are 19,095 of these in the US and 391 in Canada. These pony cars can show elevated underbody temperatures, which can lead to degradation of the fuel tank, fuel vapor lines, and parking brake cable seals. There are no reports of accidents, injuries or fires from this, though. To fix things, dealers will install a better-insulated fuel tank shield, add thermal patches around the tank and parking brake cable, and put thermal wraps around the fuel vapor lines. You can read the specific build dates and locations for the models affected by the power steering issue in Ford's press release below the video.
