2000 Lincoln LS V8 Sport review from North America
"Bad News, Stay Away"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Within the first 8,000 miles I had the have the valve cover replace along with 3 coils ($900). Than my window regulators on the front two windows went ($450). Than the valve covers again went out along with the ball and knuckle joint and more coils ($900). The last time I brought it in they said I need all four wheel bearings replaced (approx $1200). No thanks, this car is complete garbage. Along with my $352 dollar/month payment and $75 dollar/month insurance this car is a complete rip off, STAY AWAY BUY FOREIGN!!! I know I will from now on.
General comments?
The only positive thing I have to say is I have refined my home mechanic skills since buying this car, due to the amount of work I have down on it.
