But my new '01 Lincoln LS is one hell of a nice ride!
I started out looking at the BMW 7 series. WAY TOO MUCH COIN! I moved into the 5 series Didn't like as much and TOO MUCH COIN! Lincoln LS was looking nice. Read about the Jaguar engineering. S-type suspension. Drove the V8 and was PLANTED in the seat. That car hauls ass. Drove a V6 with the Sport package. Tighter suspension and Tiptronic type transmission. I am convinced that this car will outdrive the v8 unless we're in a straight line. I gave the guy a 99 Saturn SC1 with 135,000 miles (NADA Retail on the Saturn was $3500) and $6000 cash for it. All in all about $9500 including the sales tax. Car Blue Books at $12,725. I think I did OK. I am enjoying it, but I have some problems with saying that I own a Lincoln. This conjures images of the old man wearing a hat and driving his Town Car to the post office. Anyway, I love it!!! |
