    Owned two. The V-8's were known for coolant leaks when their plastic parts deteriorated. The thermostat housing and the over flow tank. As did the 2000-2003 plastic timing chain tensioners after 125K or sooner if they didn't use synthetic. So avoid one that has overheated or rattles at start up. The V-6's had fewer problems. Transmission solenoids also went. And coils went, window regulators broke. Front sway bar bushings went. BUT, the body is half aluminum and I haven't seen a rusty one ever, even after 20 years up north. The body is very solid, designed with input from Volvo. I bought a low mileage 2002 V6 auto for a niece and it's needed some suspension work and the window regulators. But I sleep better knowing she's in a solid car. I agree with Scotty, they make good beaters if you find one cheap.

    • @propertysergeant
      @propertysergeant 7 місяців тому

      The LS was made when Ford owned Jaguar. The motor is an AJ designated Jaguar engine. It's actually an entry-level Jaguar with a Lincoln body. Parts are cheap from Ford or eBay. You are correct in some of the parts that need changing. Suspension, coils, radiator overflow. I bought an 05 in 09 with 65,000 miles, and I now have 350, ooo miles on it. But the rockers are rusted out, and the rear passenger lower control arm is no longer attached to the underneath. She is retired and under a cover. It will be a parts car. I'm buying another one. Good ones aren't cheap.

      VRotate Yes. I do rideshare on the side and also have a transportation company. It was the most logical decision. This car is awesome. My only complaints are: A humming noise that comes from the transfer case at around 25 - 35 mph (doing some research I found that it’s quite common), and random rattling noises from all the plastic trim. I got the car with 80k miles, one owner (lady on her 80’s). Body has some scratches and I had to replace both bumpers (she would bump onto things a lot). Mechanical wise, it’s perfect. My next one will be a 4Runner TRD without a doubt.

Also these LS's are known for all kinds of electrical gremlins (again courtesy of Jaguar) so I personally wouldn't chance owning one. $500 for a cheap, beat up example that runs and drives?

    I had a 2005 with every option. This isn't the same "Ford v8" you find in other cars. It's a 3.9 liter (technically 3955 cc) which is almost identical to the Jaguar S type 4.0 V8, and it was also used in the Ford Thunderbird of that era. Back seat does NOT actually have a lot of legroom, but is adequate. The trunk is decent, but nothing like a "big lincoln". Reliability is average, ignition coils tend to go rather quick. MPG in the city (I mean stop and go NYC traffic) is horrible, probably around 10 mpg with AC on. *BUT*, with AC off, and cruise at 58 mph, I have hit 30.1. Overall, one of the best cars I've owned. The handling and ride comfort is impeccable.
