My car had all maintenance records and all original paperwork. It was a special car that had been extremely well taken care of. I love this car, it is still perfect on the highway, no sounds whatsoever inside. Has powerful pickup when needed and still has a beautiful exterior line. I love it.

This car is a problem machine! I bought my 2005 lincoln ls ultimate v8 a few years ago with 22k on it. I loved it for about a week because it looks nice,drives nice, and has every option you could ever want. As soon at the warrenty was at 50k the nightmare began! rear control arm went rims need to be replaced,air conditioning broke,colling system went, 3 wheel bearings,more cracks in the cooling system,7 coil packs, power window broke, electric parking brake switch went,advanced track needed service , leaking rear differential,driver seat moter, and now the power steering is acting up. all dealer repairs coasting over $6K .This really is the car from hell! DONT BUY!!!!!!

I have enjoyed the LS for it's power and ride. Very nice personal car. A bit tight in the back seat. Only problems were missing ignition which was remedied with new COP a few years back - none since then. Then there is the Ford/Lincoln A/C system. This dual temp system seems to have had a lot of problems. Controls have messed up a couple of times on this car and our Town Car. Also, lost the A/C compressor a couple of times over the 100,000 miles I've owned it. Then the cd changer crapped out. I have a couple of cds stuck in there. Sound system is great except for that. Overall, a very enjoyable, fast, safe car. Mar 2017 - Have 130000 and still runs great. See a lot of cars with lights out (I think indication of poor quality) and this car all lights work. So do all electronics, except for the jammed cd player. Still quick and still solid. Even get a few 'nice car' from folks who see it. Good styling considering some of the awful choices Lexus and Audi have made. A/C is ok now, but controls sometimes get crossed signals for temp. I hope Ford has finally figured this dual system out.

This is my second Lincoln LS I loved my 02 but this one is even better. It has incredible power, handles wonderfully, and is so fun to drive. The even weight from rear to front keeps the car from nose diving when stopping fast. I was sold on it when we were doing 75 mph and the truck in front of us lost his load and we had to stop suddenly. We never lost control and stopped with such ease.

the handling is so good that the ride experience seems less exciting than say, the mustang; and it certainly would be nice to have a 5- or six-speed manual option; but take a glance down at the speedo. and realize that you're doing 95 when you swear it could only be 70- not shabby. negatives:1) the doors are CHEAP/LIGHT/CHATTERY 2)the Advanctrak, while it has probably saved my life, when disabled does NOT turn off the traction control at take-off, which leaves one at an initial disadvantage next to a... sports-car competitor; furthermore, the select- shift doesn't help with this 0-to- whatever limitation(it does, delightfully, help with manuevering around those ubiquitious left-lane Volvos).
