steph ill talk to her and see how soon shes lookin to get rid of it.
ya i think if his car had snow tires it would have done much better. They come with firestone firehawks stock which suck ***** in the snow. They did on my firehawk anyways.

2000-02 Lincoln LS: Reliability
Trouble Spots
Consumer Guide's® Auto Editors have scoured repair bulletins and questioned mechanics to search for commonly occurring problems for a particular vehicle. In some cases we also give possible manufacturer-suggested solutions. In many instances these trouble spots are Technical Service Bulletins posted by the manufacturer, however, we have our own expert looking at additional vehicle problems.

Engine misfire: Poor engine performance or a no-start condition may be the result of a loose fuel-hose clamp causing an internal leak. (2000)

Steering problems: Replacement steering wheels (on cars shipped with the wrong wheel) may have been installed without sufficiently tightening the locking nut. (2000)

Vehicle noise: A droning noise at highway speeds while in 5th gear was being corrected by replacing the halfshafts. (2000)

Windows: The rear-window regulator cable may break, making it impossible to open or close the window. (2000-01)


NHTSA Recall History
2000-01: Front-suspension lower ball joints on some vehicles were not tightened to specifications and could loosen and, ultimately, result in fracture of ball-joint stud.

those are the common problems seen, i guess that window problem is common..

Thats not bad. Is Tbyrnes Caddy still for sale? That was a puff and a good price. \
Also Steph disregard the fat-girl old lady car stigma as they are almost always less money to insure because ******* young men dont drive them.
