This auction is for a 2000 Lincoln LS equipped with the 3.9 V8. I have had the vehicle for a couple of months. I took the vehicle as payment for some I work I did. The owner had said there was a coolant leak. She stopped driving it and started driving one of her daughters car. I have been driving the car now for the last two months and everything seems to be working great now with the noted exceptions. Here is what I have replaced/rebuilt on the car.

1) The plastic thermostat housing was leaking. I replaced it with the aluminum part that was used in the Jaguar.

2) The water pump was also leaking. I replaced it with an aftermarket part with no plastic in it.

3) The left front wheel bearing/ hub assembly was groaning so that is brand new.

4) The left front door handle on the inside was sloppy so I replaced it with a new metal one.

5) The sun roof has been completely rebuilt with all new moving parts/ cleaned and greased. The drain pipes now have clamps on then so you won't have to worry about leaks.

6) Coolant has been flushed and is new.

7) The wheels are an upgrade from stock.

8) I replaced several of the coil on plug devices. (COPs). One had failed and two others had broken mounting ears.

8) Various light bulbs have been replaced.

9) The air conditioning blows cold.

10) All the electric windows, locks and power seats work.

11) The transmission is great and shifts fine.

The car is now a good daily driver. The tires hae about 50-60% of their tread left. Here are the known imperfections or missing items.

1) There is no spare tire. I can locate a steel wheel with a tire on it in a salvage yard if you will be driving any distance after picking up the car. I will charge you what ever it costs me.

2) As can be seen in the pictures the "CHECK ADVANCETRACK" light is on. This is a frequent problem in these cars. The anti-lock brake function still works and the traction control still works. It is up to you to decide if you want to repair this item.

3) The biggest body work dent is at the leading edge of the passenger front door. There are a few other blemishes and the read bumper plastic facade has a crack at the right rear.

4) The heated seats don't work and I did not investigate the cause of that.

I had considered keeping this car because I really like the performance and the ride and handling, but I have 4 other vehicles so I just can't justify keeping it. If you have any questions call and I will try to answer them. 828-674-7579. It is a decent honest car now. I have put almost $1000.00 into it since I got it and it should give someone several more years of reliable service.

If you are a scammer don't bother. I know all the ruses and won't play along. Payment must be by Paypal, wire transfer or cash. A deposit of $500 is due within 48 hours of winning the auction. If you want the car shipped some where, you will need to arrange for that.

Why Lincoln says it's loving Ellen and Conan MKC ad spoofs [w/videos]

Mon, 13 Oct 2014

You would think that commercial being ridiculed across the Internet would be an advertising executive's worst nightmare, but that's not necessarily the case. At least not when it comes to Lincoln and its latest campaign to promote the new MKC.
The campaign features Matthew McConaughey channeling his characters from True Detective and The Lincoln Lawyer, and was quickly spoofed by both Conan O'Brien and Ellen DeGeneres. But instead of shaking their heads in dismay at the comedy talk-show hosts' take on their ad, Lincoln and its advertising firm Hudson Rouge welcome the free publicity.
"We're flattered. Just to get out into the public mind with parodies says you've achieved a certain amount of notoriety," Hudson Rouge CCO Jon Pearce told Automotive News. "It's hard to put a dollar amount on earned media. We couldn't ask for better."

2020 Ford Explorer, Lincoln Aviator reportedly facing numerous QC issues

Mon, Sep 16 2019

A lengthy report in the Detroit Free Press delves into a range of quality control issues confronting the 2020 Ford Explorer and its luxury platform sibling, the 2020 Lincoln Aviator. Freep says it's been following the issue for two months, tapping various unnamed sources for information on the automaker's unorthodox route to resolution. Seems the problem is Explorers and Aviators leaving the production line at the Chicago Assembly Plant with flaws in areas like the chassis, transmission and suspension, said vehicles trucked to Ford's Flat Rock Assembly Plant (FRAP) outside of Detroit for repair. The estimates range from 10,000 to 18,000 vehicles affected, numbers so high that Ford has sought help from Roush Engineering in nearby Allen Park, and brought workers and managers from other plants in the Midwest to FRAP to get vehicles repaired and shipped to dealers. Ford hasn't shared the nature of the problems with anyone outside the company, including dealers and customers. Freep's sources are said to include workers who have provided photos of certain vehicles and of tents used to house parts at the FRAP repair site. The Explorer chassis allegedly has an unidentified problem that engineers are using X-rays to diagnose, and the transmission is having problems sensing when it's in park or going into park. Both the Explorer and Aviator have come off the line with HVAC units that only blow hot air. And the Aviator's height-adjustable suspension enters failure mode for unknown reasons. These come on top of quotidian mishaps common to every new vehicle, but that are meant to be sorted in pre-production, like missing emblems and trim pieces. They also come on top of a recall in early August issued for the Explorer and Aviator concerning the instrument cluster and parking brake, and another at the end of August over rear seatbacks that could collapse in a crash. An automaker spokesperson told Freep, "Making updates to preproduction models based on all-new platforms as they roll off the assembly line – is standard industry practice." Except these aren't pre-production, these are early production vehicles that paying customers and dealers are waiting for, and some of the affected vehicles have been pulled off dealer lots. Dealers say they are fine waiting for the trucks to get sorted out, and they'd rather have Ford fix the problems before the SUVs go to customers.

BMW reclaims US luxury sales crown from Mercedes

Tue, Jan 6 2015

The numbers, they are in: BMW has reclaimed the luxury-sales crown from Mercedes by a margin of 9,347 cars. Mercedes donned the king's headgear in 2013 after a strong final quarter of 2013 when the new CLA and S-Class poured out of dealerships. This year, led by the 3 Series/4 Series and X5, BMW sold 339,738 units – a 9.8-percent increase year-on-year. Mercedes, led by the C-Class and M-Class, saw its sales go up by 5.7 percent to 330,391 units. We'll have to wait a bit to see if there's another registrations-vs-sales challenge as in 2012, when BMW was anointed US luxury ruler. Behind them, a dark horse named Lexus nudged closer to the leading Teutons, selling 311,389 cars. The Japanese luxury automaker also had the biggest gain among the top three, its sales rising by 13.7 percent compared to 2013. Audi had the biggest sales of anyone among the top five, though, with a 15.2-percent gain to 182,011, which moved it a spot ahead of Cadillac; the Wreath-and-Crest brand dropped 6.5 percent to 170,750. Acura (167,843), Infiniti (117,300), and Lincoln (94,474) took the final positions. Speaking of Lincoln, sales at the once-mighty luxury marque stand as the mightiest jump of any on this list, up 15.6 percent. That's the power of Matthew McConaughey... and better cars and a new crossover, sure. So now that we're back to Round One of 2015, in case no one else has said it yet: "Ok, fight!"
