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.

Ford recalls nearly 200,000 Expeditions and Navigators for fire risk

Thu, Sep 1 2022

Ford is recalling 2015-2017 Expeditions and 2015-2017 Lincoln Navigators because the front blower motor could fail and cause a fire. In total, 198,482 Expeditions and Navigators will be recalled. In the official recall documents posted by NHTSA, Ford says that it “has not identified the cause of this condition.Â” However, Ford also says it is currently aware of 25 fire allegations related to the blower motors on these vehicles. Despite not strictly identifying the cause of blower motor fires, Ford put forth a theory in its fieldwork analysis of the issue.Â Â“In June 2022, based on component analysis, Ford Engineering theorized that a mispositioned blower motor brush holder spring could cause an internal short or localized heating of the brush spring or holder. It is believed that when a fire initiates on the blower motor, it does so at the positive brush holder location. The variable blower controller would remain operational and there would be no signs of an overheated relay. Field data indicates that this concern typically occurs at a higher time in service, and on vehicles with higher mileage.Â” Since the blower motor is located on the passenger side interior behind the glovebox, the fires that start are interior fires. Ford isnÂ’t aware of any accidents related to this issue, but there is one claim of burnt hands and fingers as a result of a fire. According to Ford, warning signs of an impending fire or failed blower motor include an inoperative fan, burning smell and/or smoke from the instrument panel vents while the vehicle is on. To remedy this situation, Ford is recalling the affected SUVs and replacing the blower motor assembly with a revised part. The new part uses a blower motor assembly design utilized on other applications. If folks with these SUVs experience any symptoms of blower motor failure before the new part becomes available, Ford says they can take their vehicle to the dealer to have it replaced with a part of the same design. Once the redesigned part becomes available, the dealer will then swap it in. Owner notification letters are expected to begin on September 12 this year.

Sunday Drive: Big debuts from the Big Apple dominated the headlines

Sun, Apr 1 2018

New York Auto Show week has come and gone, and, not surprisingly, the week's biggest bits of news came from the halls of the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in NYC. Our favorite debut from New York was the Lincoln Aviator, a sharp-dresses crossover that looks lovely inside and out, and sits on underpinnings at least partly derived from the Ford Mustang. While the Aviator may have caught our attention, it wasn't the most popular vehicle debut from New York, at least when judging by the number of page views here on Autoblog. That distinction goes to the 2019 Toyota RAV4, and we're hardly surprised. The RAV4 is the most popular compact crossover in America (in fact it's the most popular vehicle that isn't a pickup truck), and the 2019 version looks like a radical departure from the model that came before. We can't wait to drive the thing. Midsize sedans may not be the darling of the family car set, that honor taken over by the aforementioned crossover, but they still sell in large enough numbers that a brand-new model catches our attention. Such is the case with the 2019 Nissan Altima. We broke down the specs of the Altima and compared Nissan's bread-and-butter sedan with its biggest rivals. And finally, we got some official figures for the 2019 Ford Mustang Bullitt. It'll cost a cool $12,000 over the cost of a Mustang GT, and will benefit from a 480-horsepower, 420-pound-foot version of Ford's excellent 5.0-liter V8 engine. As always, stay tuned this week for all the latest automotive news that's fit to print. 2018 New York Auto Show Mega Photo Gallery | Start spreading the news 2019 Toyota RAV4 actually looks pretty cool 2019 Nissan Altima vs Honda Accord vs Toyota Camry: How they compare 2019 Mustang Bullitt orders open as Ford reveals price and horsepower Image Credit: Drew Angerer/Getty New York Auto Show Ford Lincoln Nissan Toyota Coupe Crossover SUV Sedan 2018 new york auto show
