2000 Lincoln Ls In Silver Frost Clearcoat Metallic on 2040-cars
Fletcher, North Carolina, United States
|
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. |

Lincoln MKX Concept goes for the gold in Beijing
Sun, 20 Apr 2014We've now seen the Lincoln MKX Concept in the metal, and we've shot it with the lenses of our own DSLR cameras. And we have to say, our opinion of the concept's design language has improved over our initial reaction. Yes, it's clear that this MKX shares its underpinnings with those of the Ford Edge Concept that we saw in LA, but the changes made by Lincoln stylists are a welcome departure from the angular lines of its corporate cousin from The Blue Oval.
We like the subtlety of the MKX Concept's front fascia, and the lighting elements both front and rear lend a luxurious quality to the crossover's typical two-box proportions. When combined with the smaller MKC that was shown in production form late last year, it's clear to see that Lincoln has a specific design direction that at least seems visually capable of setting it apart from the Ford models with which the brand shares its platforms. Here's hoping there are some Lincoln-specific upgrades underhood...
Have a look at our image gallery of live photos from Beijing above, reread the press release below, and feel free to let us know what you think.
Ford recalling 370,000 Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Town Car models
Fri, 30 Aug 2013The Detroit News is reporting that Ford will recall some 370,000 Crown Victoria (pictured), Mercury Grand Marquis and Lincoln Town Car vehicles from model years 2005 through 2011, for an issue regarding the lower intermediate steering shaft. 355,000 of the vehicles in question were sold in the US, with the other 15,000 sold in Canada.
The report indicates that corrosion of the lower intermediate steering shaft could cause a "loss of steering," presumably because of a partial or complete failure of the part. The report points out the dealers will inspect and replace the offending steering component for recalled cars, and may also secure a lower steering column bearing and replace the upper intermediate steering shaft as needed. The company is unaware of any reports of the faulty part causing any accidents or injuries.
Ford helpfully lists states in which corrosion is more likely to have taken place, mostly in the Snow Belt, as you might guess. Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Wisconsin, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia are listed.
Next Lincoln Navigator to drop V8 in favor of V6, but Ford Expedition might get both
Tue, 12 Mar 2013A great many buyers fled from full-size body-on-frame SUVs to car-based crossovers in large measure to save fuel. But that doesn't mean there's still not a buying audience for more traditional truck-based utility vehicles, and those consumers doubtlessly wouldn't mind saving some dollars at the pump, too. According to Motor Trend, those shoppers might be in luck.
That's because the magazine has confirmed that Ford isn't walking away from the full-size SUV segment, and it's poised to do something about its offerings' economy ratings, too. According to MT, global Lincoln director Matt VanDyke has hinted that the next Navigator may drop two cylinders and go with a V6 model - the current model gets just 14 miles per gallon in the city and 20 on the highway from its 5.4-liter V8. The obvious fitment would be Ford's 3.5-liter twin-turbo EcoBoost V6, an engine that has spread like kudzu throughout the rest of the Blue Oval's large vehicle lineup.
Downsized turbocharged engines like Ford's EcoBoost franchise have come under fire as of late for not delivering their EPA fuel economy ratings, but their benefits extend beyond consumption - the 3.5L offers superior power and a better torque curve than the naturally aspirated V8. MT also suggests that Ford's 3.7-liter V6 could form the base engine for the next Navi - it has similar horsepower but a lot less torque than the current 5.4L. That may be less of a problem with the next generation tipped to go on a diet, which could level the playing field somewhat.
