2001 Lincoln Ls 3.9 V8 One Owner, All Luxury Options, Excellent Condition on 2040-cars

2001 Lincoln LS 3.9L V8-32V This is a one non-smoking owner Lincoln LS that we bought for my wife in 2002. It was to replace our 1962 Lincoln continental of the same color. This car has been treated like one of the family since it was new, however we now have too many cars and this one needs a new home at 108,000 reliable miles. The car is an '01 LS which is loaded with all luxury options including Advance Trac stability enhancement system, a power moon roof, heated seats and the audiophile ALPINE entertainment system with 6 disc changer and an extra magazine. This stylish touring car is loaded with standard features also, which attracted us when the car was sold. They include 8 way power lumbar seats, auto dim rear view mirror / compass, folding rear arm rest, full wood and leather trim interior in as-new condition, dual stainless exhaust, message center, power tilt/telescope steering column, traction control, fog lamps, autolamp headlamps, independent aluminum front and rear suspension in a hard to find rear wheel drive platform. The car is very quick and agile with the independent RWD chassis. I also like the fact that many of the suspension and body parts are aluminum for less weight. We purchased a set of 5 new 17" factory silver star alloy wheels when the car was new and these have been on it for most of it's life. Right now it's wearing some very quiet and good performing Continental DWS tires which I have found to be of very good quality. The car has been maintained since new in my shop, we only used synthetic lubricants for the rear diff, automatic transmission and of course the engine which runs like new. I have replaced all of the ignition coils with Motorcraft FORD units as well as the valve covers and gaskets which are problematic on these cars. I have replaced the alternator once with an OEM Motorcraft part and also upgraded the automatic transmission valve body with the Sonnax spring kit to repair this problem area. The interior leather surfaces have been regularly treated with Lexol leather cleaner and conditioner and the hides are still in excellent codition throughout as you can see. There are a few areas that have tightened up from drying in the sun here of Florida and may eventually need attention but the interior is like new! Title is 3rd print, one to Ford Motor Credit, One to me in Massachusetts and one to me in Florida. The 21 records you see are annual inspections, required in Mass as well as only one minor bumper cover incident on the front of the car, see condition / description for details. Jeff 9418303137 |

2015 Lincoln MKC
Mon, 09 Jun 2014Back in 2012, Lincoln claimed its comeback bid was finally underway with the new-for-2013 MKZ. But don't you believe them - the renaissance won't actually begin in earnest until the shapely compact crossover seen here reaches showrooms in big numbers. That's because while the four-door MKZ was indeed a proper step toward rebirth, the 2015 MKC is the first wholly conceived vehicle under Lincoln as a standalone brand, a move first announced back in 2012.
That's an important distinction, because Lincoln's newfound emancipation from Ford's design and development processes has given the struggling marque both the corporate wherewithal and the will to develop a more fully formed product. The four-wheeled result seen here is a surprisingly cohesive luxury CUV, one with significantly more aesthetic and dynamic separation from its Ford Escape sibling than the MKZ and its Fusion counterpart. Said another way, after flogging Lincoln's latest for hundreds of miles over canyon roads outside of Santa Barbara, we've come to understand that this is far from a re-grilled Dearborn special with luxury tinsel - it's a bona fide standalone product that readily displays the sort of clear differentiation seen in platform cousins like the Audi Q5 and the Volkswagen Tiguan. It's the real deal.
Would a Mustang-based Lincoln look like this?
Mon, 07 Jan 2013Designer Josiah LaCalla has taken a stab at what a Ford Mustang-based Lincoln model might look like with the Continental Mark X1 concept. Make no mistake, Ford's luxury arm has made it abundantly clear that it won't be pursuing any new products outside of volume models, which means a flashy halo grand tourer like the one you see here isn't in the cards. LaColla used the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG as a basis for his creation, which explains the long nose, but we certainly don't mind the idea of a rear-wheel drive Lincoln with a cabin pushed to the aft.
While we're dreaming, there's certainly nothing stopping us from imagining what's under that lengthy hood. We like the idea of the 5.8-liter supercharged V8 from the Shelby GT500 pushing the Mark X1 down the road, but how about something a little more inventive? Something like a high-revving, buttery V12 with enough torque to push the contraption well past 200 miles per hour. Dream a little dream, people.
NHTSA upgrades Ford floor mat unintended acceleration probe
Mon, 17 Dec 2012According to a Bloomberg report, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has upgraded an investigation into complaints of unintended acceleration lodged against Ford vehicles. The investigation began in June of 2010 when just three complaints had been received and it only concerned the Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan, but this was at a time when the phrase "unintended acceleration" made grown men go pale. With 49 additional complaints received since then, the investigation has been reclassified as an engineering analysis - the last phase before a recall - and it has been expanded to include the Lincoln MKZ, making for a total of "around 480,000" units affected between the three sedans from the 2008 to 2010 model years.
The ostensible cause is that floor mats are trapping the accelerator pedal, but according to a Ford statement at the time, the entrapment is due to owners placing the optional all-weather floor mats, or aftermarket floor mats, on top of the car's standard floor mats. NHTSA has backed up that assessment, pinning the blame on "unsecured or double stacked floor mats."
On the face of it, it would appear that NHTSA has upgraded the status not because of Ford's error, but owner error, and Ford has stated publicly that it is "disappointed" in NHTSA's move. On top of NHTSA still being skittish after that other unintended acceleration debacle, it could be seen to be taking its time investigating all of the variables: it's reported that Ford changed its accelerator pedal design in 2010, a "heel blocker" in the floorpan has been considered a potential culprit in how the floor mats could be trapping the pedal, some drivers have said the floor mats weren't anywhere near the pedal, and according to a report in the LA Times, in "a letter sent by Ford to NHTSA in August 2010, the automaker said it found three injuries and one fatality that 'may have resulted from the alleged defect.'"
