Another one of Scott’s great videos!

A retired mechanic friend of mine spent his time 3 to 4 days at a slow pace, pulled the dash apart and fixed the ac and put it back together. It served him well for years...

Scotty totally knows what he's talking about! Many Lincolns have AISIN transmissions, which are reliable and bulletproof.

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.

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.

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.

Scotty quick question. My wife bought a 2015 Kia Forte5. I feel it was a good deal at 12,000 with only 5200 miles. Probably belonged to a snowbird here in Florida. Well I replaced the wipers and I am having sm issue finding one that works correctly on the rear. First one was the wrong fastener, now the second one fits but one end does not press down on the windshield. Is it best to just by OEM at the dealership.

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.

Been there and done that with the rebuilt engines. I agree, get one that was rebuilt by a reputable shop. Got a “parts” truck with a rebuilt Toyota 22re engine, and as soon as we got it in and started driving it, the head gasket went out and it started overheating.

haha i had a couple of those, they require premium fuel I learned that the hard way, when the cats plugged up, honestly i dont think any of them have working ac anymore haha, love your videos!!!!

I just scored the deal of a lifetime Scotty. I bought a 1991 Lincoln Town car for $300.00. Here's the history. Car was bought by an elderly couple in Florida. They kept a log of all maintenance done on the car. They sold it to the man I bought it off of and he bought it down there, drove it up here to Rhode Island. He garaged it and only used it when he came up here in the summers. So, the car has never seen snow or salt, both of which we have up here in New England. Car has 125,000 miles on it and it was even inspected when I bought it. Don't get me wrong, it needs a couple of things but, all just minor. I bought the passenger side mirror, has a crack, small things like that. You just can't get the ride of these older cars, sunroof, all the bells and whistles from the day. I couldn't be happier!!!!! A little side note. I came out of the store about 5 years ago and next to me was this beautiful town car. I have owned about 7 of them through the years. I left a note on the car and I said, if you ever want to sell this car, call me. I don't normally do this but, car was pristine. Go figure, he called me and almost gave it to me.

Older Lincolns and Mercury sedans. I'm with you scotty. I had a Grande Marquis that took me around for 3 years. Best car I ever bought cheap.

I'd still spend a grand on the AC if I only paid $500 for the car. $1500 is still a good deal.

News flash, that V8 is not a Ford motor. It's a coil eating Jaguar 3.9 V8 which was also used in the 2002-2005 Thunderbird. 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?

500 bucks for a car that still drives is amazing

Hell, $500 for that? I'd drop the extra grand to fix the A/C for That car! I love the way the LS looks. But I'd buy a Thunderbird over the Lincoln just because of the interior flaws. Plus the ABS and check engine lights were on and I heard a borked door ajar sensor. I had a 2002 Explorer with that problem that liked to kick off its alarm at random times because it thought someone was opening its doors when literally nothing was even close to it

The Lincoln LS was my favorite car when I was in college

I had an 03. I loved that car. One problem is the plastic intake manifold, I had to replace mine at 13 years old (109,000 miles). I replaced the towncar with a small suv because the wife said " it's to big". I didn't think so, but I drive a semi delivering new cars. I guess when your daily driver is 82 feet long you look at things from a different perspective!

Oh the coil pack nightmares I've had in Lincoln LS and Ford Thunderbirds that motor loves to misfire

SCOTTY----If it were me, I would start with the $500 and save my money until I have enough to buy a 1994 Toyota Celica. The A/C will work, the seats will not be ripped, it will get better gas mileage than the big V8, and is more dependable. Agree??

Lincoln is faster.

This was my first car. 04 v8. Money pit like no other. This car was made as collaboration with Jaguar. It has jaguar parts all over the car. The hose in the a pillar would always leak and I would have a puddle right below the driver seat. My fuel gage stopped working. When the car has no issues its a great car. But as my first car I had to get rid of it because the repairs were too expensive.

I own a 2002 Lincoln LS V8 and a 2005 Cadillac STS and I have no problem maintaining those vehicles because I have a mechanic that does top notch work for cheap. When you have options like that you can virtually drive anything you want.

I always like them but I love the big lincions signature.

Scotty please help.... I've had toyotas my whole life and in love with them. My girlfriend was looking for a used vehicle and bought a Chevy Equinox after much counsel against. (Had more features than a rav 4).How do I not hold a grudge and be passive aggressive when things start to go wrong with the thing. Canyon lake Tx

Equinox is actually not a bad ride. Only problem i've seen was an 05 had the a/c compressor go out.

I own a 2002 Lincoln LS with the V-8. Only 80k miles on it. Just watch the premium gas you use. Mine is sensitive to the ethanol. It will throw a check engine light which usually ends up being a coil being replaced. The water leak in the car is caused from two channels going down the two front pillars from the roof. Designed to drain the water from around the sunroof. Quick easy fix. Take some string trimmer line, at least .075 diameter or a little bigger. Cut about a 6 ft section. Run it down the two holes and clean em out..

So happy he did my car. Thanks Scotty!!

My first car I bought was a used 2001 v8 sport. That thing was super smooth, fast and impressive. I constantly had to replace the ignition coils though 😭

Did you put premium gas in it every time you filled up cause if not it will eat the coils? I have a 2002 LS 3.9 and it’s a great car. I love it but it’s just a nightmare to work on

Ok I have one of these. I love it! A couple things to know.. you're not gonna find one for $500😂.. for a decent one it'll cost $3,000 - $5,000 also they're kinda hard to find. There's a v6 and a v8 option. The v8 has a jaguar engine😬. with only about 30hp less then the v8, i reccomend going for the v6, which has a Ford engine. the same one as the Ford Taurus has, with about 70hp added. those cars are known for going over 3000k miles! If you find a LS check for coolant leaks. they're notorious for having them.

Used to have one of these and it was a great car, fun to drive!
