Upgraded to the LS
Had a new Lincoln Zephyr and feel that I have upgraded to an older LS V8, better handling, performance, and overall comfort. at 1/3 the price for a used LS.
2004 LSV8
I have owned this car since 12/06. Been to the dealer 3 times with coil problems. Each time it was fixed at no charge. Other then the rattles in the doors, that I fxed with some grease I love this car. The heated and A/C seats are great as is the 2 zone climate control. The engine is strong and I like the SST transmission. Seats are very comfortable even on long trips. The Instruments panel is dated in my opinion and I cant read the speedo to easy from my seating position. These are just minor grips. I gace up my Chyrsler 300C to my wife for this ride and I have no complaints. If they made an 07 I would buy that next as I enjoy this car that much.

Linclon
I just bought a Linclon LS and a Linclon Towncar both for $77,000. The LS has a dream ride and a good reliability record but has sevral other problems. The car doesn't handle like my old LS or my old Toyota Avalon. My Towncar is even worse. It doesn't drive, is to big, and has already needded a new transmission after 2000 miles. By Toyota instead
A nice car, not a great car
I purchased my LS 3 months ago "previously owned" with 24k miles. It's a nice car, but not a great car. The ride is firm (depending on the tires) and solid. It's big but doesn't feel big on the road. Exceptional ride on the highway - city driving is unremarkable. In the 3 months I have owned it, we have been in the shop 3 times - transmission, engine knock and noises from the steering column were the causes. You hear too many noises for a car that costs this much. I know I didn't pay sticker, but that's probally the reason the LS is going out of production - it's way overpriced. I got mine for less than half of sticker after only 18 months of use.
Ho-hum
At first glance this was a great vehicle. After awhile gremlins started appearing - first the throttle body was replaced, then a exhaust bracket broke, tires replaced due to imbalance, loose rear suspension, loose and creaky interior door trim and whining heat/AC vent fan that dealer says is "Normal". When it isn't in the shop it is a great car, but then it develops another problem. If you intend on purchasing one, be sure to opt for the extended warranty!
