It was a gorgeous day here in the Twin Cities, so after helping a buddy diagnose and repair a wiring issue on his Sentra SE-R I took a 45 minute jaunt to look at a 2005 Lincoln LS V8 Sport. 170k miles, asking price $1,700. Insert eye roll.
All in all, it wasn't awful. Pearl white over grey leather, minor about of body rust but a fair amount of rust underneath in non-critical areas. All the major electronics worked, however no A/C and the radio was inop. It needs both front hubs, new ones come with it. I also found a wasted RF upper ball joint, easy enough to throw a couple control arms in it. Besides that, the rear shocks feel like they're seized, there's absolutely NO compliance in the rear suspension.
I threw him an offer of $700, he seemed desperate to make space and get money for other projects. Who knows, we'll see where this one goes. Let the flaming begin!
