The Ford modular V8 is known to be way more reliable tho

@@070nino070 Idk. My Lincoln LS is still running strong at almost 260k miles on the clock..

Ontario 85 what kind of repairs have you had to do?

I have a 2000 model White fine it has a few Battle Scars but not many you know Little Tink Tink you can fix you're right about it being a little rocket ship and before you know it it's the way up on 65 and 80 and you think you're doing 55 it'll trick you the only thing in mine is the heat doesn't work I'm about to get that fixed it is almost identical to this one but I have different seats my seats seem to look better than these and it will haul ass it's a lot of people say they were way before their time it should have been coming out right about now but I'm glad they are here if you have one in a V8 you keep it if you can or sell it to someone that will take care of it hopefully I know it's just a car but they are very nice and they ride really good I didn't think it would not being big like the Lincoln andthe Grand Marquis because if you know what they ride like it's like riding with your grandma I see a lot of granny's have those cars and I understand now why they ride superb that Lincoln Continental and the Grand Marquis have a fantastic ride but the ls is real snazzy and if you got a good one the more you give the more it can take on the highway I want to restore this one back into mint condition it just takes the money to do it right now with the situation that we're in all across the country everybody trying to save and make ends meet with every little bit about to go out here and check on mine in the yard. Nice video the guy seems like a very nice person👊 thanks for sharing. Everybody have a great day stay safe. oh yeah he was talking about the mileage mine has 146 939 as of yesterday morning original miles one owner car it's really in superb shape. To be a 2000 model.

@@ontario8562 got a 2006 ls with 265 & this baby is in mint condition..fly like hell

How is the car?

I've been looking at an 06 v8

Thanks for sharing Gabe! We still have the Lincoln LS at the store today and I'm really surprised that we have not sold it yet. Charleston people must not realize how nice of a car this is and the motor runs great!

@@CarolinaCarVideos uh no, they must know how problematic these cars are.

lol there’s is no performance parts or cosmetic mods beside rims or lowering I got rid of mine worst car I have ever owned & no power for a v8 & you have to pump 91 octane on the v8

@@heavychevyss2784 good for you I'll still keep mine.

@@Gabe-ss1hi what customizations are you doing? I just picked one up and would like to do some of my own.

Nick D are these reliable

@@yunga8305 Only if you stay on top of the maintenance (which isn't cheap). Cooling issues is one of the biggest things. The LS is this video actually had a code I recognized from overheating at one point. Excellent car otherwise.

Do you remember where you got the headers? I can't find any good aftermarket for these things! Lol

76 I hope I still got it when I'm 76 if I'm still alive then hopefully, good for you pops keep em turning

No way 400 maybe 310 at the crank.

Would it be a good daily driver?

@@milkywayandbeyond it’s a good daily, just not so good in the winter haha, rwd makes it difficult to control through snow. But it gets a lot of attention and it drives fantastic, it has its issues with coil packs going out left and right, and overheating issues but if you are mechanically inclined you should be fine 🙌

@@jamisonallen1706 I have a Jag with same V8. Pull out the Coil Packs and read the Ohms. If 2 to 5 Ohms, they're fine. The problem is little oil will leak form the covers into the plug chambers which short out the coils. Easy fix. Take out the coil plugs, wipe any oil out of the plugs, then just apply some Silicon Clear Grease inside the coil plugs. Bam, done. My V8 running for 50,000 miles with no missing.

Ima get one from cl...1300$ what you think

I got mine on Craigslist

@@Gkitchens1 Cool, hope it was a nice buy. Scotty Kilmer claims that the v6 model was the most reliable one.

@@Pistolpete241 he’s not wrong, that being said, regular oil changes, timing chain system replacements, and coolant system upkeep, they’re just as reliable if not a little better for the last 40-50k they’ll run.

I got mines on offer up a year ago at 100k miles for 4500$ cash from a dealership tho over a year I have spent over 5500$ in parts and labor pain in the ass but I love my car and runs great these cars with the stock exhaust sound supercharged I love it

And what feels like an off alignment

Its a fucking wheel bearing.

Charlie Becker got one too they are some badass cars still now a days. 👍🏼

You sure, A 4.6 sohc fwd LS, man that sounds great #burnoutmachine

2006 is the best model!!! Came with beautiful fog lights and only came sport mode, no v6

Thats not Lincoln LS specific. They do in their 5.4 engines as well I've replaced 4 of them in my van and several in various other people's trucks.

Your coil packs are going back because the valve cover gaskets and all the o-rings in are bad.. do the valve cover job with better gaskets/o rings and your coil packs won't go bad anymore

Was the pump leaking as well as the radiator ?

I found one for a good price but owner says it overheats.

thanks for your input and its nice to see there's people still out there driving these Lincoln LS's. Don't think I'll ever forget about the car being a RWD anytime soon. We sold the one I filmed not long after creating this video. Sometimes I wish I could pick the people that buy certain cars that we sell, but at the end of the day its not my choice if they have all the money.

CharlestonCarVideos yeah, i’ve seen people trash these cars and i do not like seeing that. i try to baby mine as it is my first car. shit on gas mileage thi

@@mw3lover0303I also recently got one of these as my first car and I love it that thing isnt gonna die til I do

Julia Rose is it a car that has affordable parts?

I named mine Mary Todd Lincoln 😭🤝

I just bought one . Let me in on the did and donts..

What exactly did you get for the coil packs

Lol how is it I was ironically just looking at an 06 v8 myself for around 6 grand at a dealership but I've been looking around any issues with the car? Interior problems engine issues weird noises anything?

Sure there isn't a CD player in the trunk? My neighbors did.

The manual transmission was only offered in the v6 models. Transmission couldn't take the torque of the v8.

Roger Philabaum good info to know. too bad they didn’t build to accommodate both engines. could’ve made a big difference in earning sales from BMW and the like.

@@xrmerkur agreed

You left out THE MITSUBISHI DIAMANTE******* 1ST GEN

IT WAS THE DIAMANTE* MITSUBISHI

I might get one tomorrow that I found for $1750. And it only has 168k miles and two minor issues, a cracked exhaust manifold and leaking heater water valve. And the best part is the part that needs major replacing is the easiest

I’m in Tampa &i Just bought a 07 v8 with 80k for 4K

Typical problem on these cars

They have coolant system issues. Degas tank probably cracked, or the other plastic bits failed. Been there, done that. I still have a nice one I bought in 06 (it's an 05). It's getting an engine swap soon. Time to turn mine into a toy.

or look

Yea my wheel bearing is bad too. How much to get it replaced?

@@mikehunt402 i dont know how much it coast for a auto shop to do it but if you want to replace it yourself it would be about $25 each for back bearing $125 each for front wheel bearing

@@adrianb6942 thank you. Just so happens I’m getting it replaced tomorrow. Thank you

But I am here reading to see what all the faults are and solutions that people have found.

Mustang trans won't match without custom work. This v8 is the 3.9L AJ35 Jaguar engine

@@mrfuninthesun33 Okay the custom work for the Trans ball park figure would be your thoughts on cost.

David Ayers and what problems did he have?

Big fact. I had one and loved showing off that option

@@coreyfresh7249 thought so. but only because my zeypher had it.

Yeah manual V8 would be great, the V6 manual couldn't handle much torque unfortunately

TodayI just bought my son a 2002 LS with the V6 and 5 speed..rare find🤟🏾

@@armandsmith1027 nice! How’s it working out? Any problems yet?

How did you bypass it

Don't ya mean "cams". This V8 is 32 valve dual overhead camshafts. There are two on each side for a total of four. ;-)

Thermo house has a cap. look up bleeding the coolant system on the LS. You have to bleed the air out of the coolant system with the cap that's on the thermo housing. Easiest way is to run the car after you fill the reservoir untill the fan kicks on and the coolant starts to circulate. Turn it off and let it sit for a few minutes or until you can crack open the reservoir cap. Open the cap on the thermo housing until there is only a few turns left before it comes all the way off. Take your house and slowly fill the reservoir until you start to see the water coming out of the thermostat housing cap. Tighten cap and then but the reservoir cap back on and your good

Thanks for letting us know thta Sugah Brown. You should make a video about it and post it to KZfaq. Then put your video on facebook market place and it should sell.

@@CarolinaCarVideos thanks I'll have to do that !

Ehh i like the mark 8 rare to see pretty and fast the ls i see daily i dont see my car ever i still love my car more than ur ls got more personality the ks is designed to look like a bmw my car us its own thing

Please explain about the electrical fire as my daughter has one of these, a 2001, and the fuse panel in the trunk by the battery has four large fuses that are warm to the touch. Warm to the touch after shortly installing a new battery.

Nice! Thanks for sharing that with me.

I will always love this car, use to have an 06 with literally every option, black interior thx sound system. But these cars are a hit or miss, mine didnt start failing after a while of ownong it, problem after problem, always taken to the dealer to get fixed correctly but still another problem would occur after a while. In the end i put more mo ey than what i bought it for so i ended up just selling it. But like i said, if i was a rich man i would definitely jump on buying this beast again.

No... It's the kissing cousin to the Jaguar S-Type. The X-Type was basically a Ford Mondeo.

apacheman59 no it’s not, it’s the same platform as the S-type not the X-type.

S type. Not the X type.

We're asking $3250 I believe.

What did you pay for the car? Got a 03 ls V8 with 58k miles and wondering what I could get for it

mine Is a 2000" Great car😎😌

What does that mean watch out for your cooling system? Would you care to explain that please?

@@robertmanning3922 have to replace most or all of the plastic parts on the top front of the engine to get it to stop leaking coolant.

I would have to agree. i bought my Wife an 01 or 02 V8 car. Pacific Blue (or something they called it) grey leather, sun roof etc fully loaded. Off the original owner 82k miles. She took it to Wal-Mart while i was OTR to have 4 new tires put on it. They stripped out the lug nuts on the front wheels, the beat a socket on them. Ended up having to put both front hub/bearing assemblys, nee studs and lug nuts. All but one of the power window mechanism cable broke. The automatic windshield wipers had a mind if their own. Having a dead batteey is always fun having to crawl thru the back seat to pull tbe trunk release! The dual climate control liked to work sometimes and sometimes not! Come to find her car had the Stupidest design for a fan the hydraulically operated fan. Both front and rear rubber driveshaft companion flabge failed along with the carrier bearing. Year to year parts where specific and IF you were lucky enough to find one at pull a part it was nothing but a picked over skeleton. She's had Town cars, FWD continentals 88, 91,92, Mark 7 LSC's, 93,95,98 Mark 8's LSC/Collector editions. But none of them were a POS like the LS. The next generation (MKS?) Same POS, just different body panels. Ended up buying her 2 cars for what that junk costs. An 06 3.0 Ford Taurus SE for a daily driver that had every damn option as the Lincoln. Was roomier more comfortable, got better gas mileage was WAY WAY cheaper to fix and the parts are a 10th of the LS. Had enough money left ovet to get to buy her a 08 Mustang Convertible Wind veil blue/ grey leather interior 4.0 V6 5 speed auto, factory roll bar, pony package, Shaker 1000 stereo. Every power option including top with glass back window. My advice? RUN!!! No matter the price or condition, mileage! RUN! I dont think you could give me one, because i KNOW it's going to break and parts are a fortune and most of the time you have to wait days for the parts. Ford dealer? Forget about it, a simple repair ends up exceeding the value of the car! Unless you need a Demo derby car you would be better off finding a old P71 Crown Vic at auction and it would live longer! Don't waste your or family members money. Go buy a Taurus, Impala!
