Big mistake

When times were tough, I had to sell my 2002 Lexus LX470. But now I needed another V8 to tow my boat. I thought I would give an American made truck a chance. Bought one with only 87,000 miles at a reasonable price. Oh boy, big mistake. The radio and the temperature control work only occasionally. You have to bang on the dash to get them to work. In the last few months, it spent more time in the shop than on the road. My family got stranded by this truck so many times that I'm ready to donate it. Piece of junk. No wonder the resale value is a joke on these cars. I'm sticking with Japanese cars now.

Plenty of good, lots of bad too

This car will probably do a quarter million miles without issues to the mechanical drivetrain. However, during that time many of the electronic systems will fail. They will remind you that they've failed by way of an incredibly annoying chime that ding-dongs at the slightest provocation. The air suspension system failed, as they do, and was replaced with springs. Now I get annoying ding-dongs that my suspension needs to be checked, as they do. Antilock brakes may or may not be working. Upshot: this car goes into my "mistakes" column. I almost feel bad selling it on because I know that it will frustrate and infuriate the next owner.

lincoln gives free oil changes or service lucky for me because just about every service call something else needed repair, after driving 90000km I finally returned my vehicle. the vibration in the front end at 115km was never repaired even after the dealership had me replace my tires. yes after 90000 km front still vibrates. running board motors, frequently replaced. accelerator extremely sensitive, just keeps jerking your neck off dealer could not repair because of no adjustments. and the problems continued

Great SUV

Got my 03 in Sept & have loved driving it. Quiet & smooth ride. The handling characteristics give you confidence in any situation. Very agile despite size. The fuel economy is poor. Supposed to use 91+ fuel so that adds to the expense at the pump.Love the pwr running boards.IMO they help getting in & out especially for older passengers. We take father-in-law to dr appts & he absolutely loves & prefers the ride in that car over his.(Works for Caddy dealer) We could have purchased an Escalade $50 below dealer cost, but I was so impressed with the Navi & all the features that it had that the Caddy did not that I paid the higher price for the Navi

Very powerful, DVD Entertainment System is very nice, everything is automated, bright headlights reduce chances of getting hit by large animals because of the brightness level.
