[Cliff]

[Scrappy]

[Cliff]

[Marta Mike]

Dont know much bout the LS, but as far as i know they are not that reliable, just search the new for reviews, like edmunds or somin. My mom had one from the dealer when they were working on her car, it drove like shit!

The ls is a very nice car. If you are going to buy one try to find a 03 or newer car. I use to work at Wixom Assembly (the plant that builds the ls) and can say that overall they are a very good car.

[Cliff]

awesome thanks...heck next year an 03 will be 3 years old anyways

well when it comes to the quality, and durabilty of its parts and interior it sucks compared to its competitors in its price range.

speaking of which what cars are in it's price range? i figured Chevy Impala, Ford Taurus, Toyota Camry and so on and so forth....what else?

[PSINXS]

cliff goin old school baller at such a young age? never thought id see the day :(

[jrobbins30041]

hey man id look into a camry or corolla- very nice and reliable :)

[Marta Mike]

well when you go into that class your are looking at last gen TLs, older 3 series(more expensive) best bet i would say would be like a 98 RL

[Julio]

I wouldnt buy that for the price.

[Julio]

Spec V y0! family sedan with some kick to it!


Bump for that.. I havent used the back seats yet. Shit even has the locks for babyseats.. wtf mate.. lol :lmfao:

[Cliff]

in a year i can get a used lincoln ls for 15 or less...and we already have a 99 tl and i would get in trouble with it cause you're goin 80 and feel like you're goin 50....i want somthing when you're goin 80 you know it....oh well....and brandon i have had a 4 door truck 2 coupes and a lifted 4x4...next is a sedan then when i get older maybe an suv like a tahoe or another truck....

[Cliff]

oh and also lookin at a g35 sedan

[PSINXS]

aww. lil cliffy growin up. u gonna sell the 4x4 or is it already sold?

[Cliff]

it's gone....we got a work truck now...and i don't wanna grow up but with my driving record i have to...i mean i'll be 20 when i start driving again...so yea i really don't have a choice but to grow up and if a sedan will slow me down and keep me on the pavement then that's what i'll do ya know...heck i wanted a maxima back when i bought my silverado

[JITB]

:eek: :goodjob:

[bigb996]

i personally like the LS i have always thought they were nice cars. What about a newer maxima? or something a little more sporty?

[Cliff]

lol sporty is great for someone with a clean record...i wanna be able to drive through a retirement community and not even get a second look...lol

[Cliff]

oh and somthing with 0 aftermarket appeal...i don't wanna be tempted to even change the wheels

[Leisa]

I like the Mazda 6 .... thats a nice car for the money

[Cliff]

i want a mazda 3 5 door or a mazda 3 sedan but my sister said no lol...and yea the 6's are very nice...prolly will be one i consider in a year...i need to go see the insides of all these cars

[Leisa]

yeah the mazda3 hatch is abadass little car!~

[Marta Mike]

in a year i can get a used lincoln ls for 15 or less...and we already have a 99 tl and i would get in trouble with it cause you're goin 80 and feel like you're goin 50....i want somthing when you're goin 80 you know it....oh well....and brandon i have had a 4 door truck 2 coupes and a lifted 4x4...next is a sedan then when i get older maybe an suv like a tahoe or another truck....
well getting a car with a bigger engine like the LS wont help much. If thats what you need you need something like a camry, corolla, or hell an insight!

[topsecret2JZ]

tight lincoln man... no fords Found On Road Dead

[CMO]

Shit, if you get the LS get the V8 in the 5spd. That's what I've been thinking of doing.

[Cliff]

they make them 5speed? hmmmm maybe....i dunno i need an auto though so i don't get any more tempted to drive fast

[CMO]

I find myself driving faster in an auto car than I do in a 5spd. When I'm in my brothers accord I'm always speeding.

[Cliff]

i drive faster 5 speed cause i am always downshifting and passing people and always winding out each gear...autos i just sit back and enjoy the ride....

[Buford®]

LS has aftermarket potential.

[civic95]

If you REALLY REALLY like the LS, and plan on keeping it forever get it. If you plan to keep it for just a few years and sell it I would get something else that retains its value better (like the mazda 6). The LS will depreciate faster than most imports or the mazda. May want to even consider a used lexus. They are reliable, and will retain value a lot better than that.

[CMO]

My friend bought a Lexus es300 and she only paid like $1500 for the car. So you know it wasn't the best car in the world. But a lady hit it at her apartment complex and it was a total. They gave her $6000 for that car.

[Cliff]

thanks for the advice lamar

see i told u it was junk-lol

[Cliff]

dude no joke that car interior is horrible...the outside is still awesome but uhhhh it's definately american made on the inside

[Marta Mike]

i know, the outside is pimp, a 5spd would be fun. But the interior is rediculous. I remember looking at the gauges and being like WTF? The interior is busted, and cheap.
