Overview & Reviews
From the ground up, this is a completely new sport sedan based on an all-new midsize platform. Lincoln worked with Jaguar to develop this platform, which is also being used for Jaguar's S-Type sedan. It is the first Lincoln in over two decades not classified as a full-size vehicle, and should appeal to buyers looking for something sportier and smaller than the Town Car or Continental.
- Roominess of a BMW 5-Series at the price of a BMW 3-Series.

2000 Lincoln LS - 2000 Lincoln LS
By LsReeks - November 16 - 7:16 amThe only thing this car has is that its prety. Its a nice eye candy. The problem comes from fords quality/design , or lack there of. The transmission went out on me. I had to replace a simple air/breathing hose, which resides under the intake manifold and the fuel injectors. A 99 cent hose cost me 1700$ in labor. To do any type of maintenance, the intake manifold had to be removed because it was layed on the very top. That meant many hrs in labor, no matter what the fix was. Oh, the brake system and suspension was bad as well. Spent much $. Interior had many problems as well. I never thought Id say this, but because of this car, Ive boycotted Ford.

Daughters car - 2000 Lincoln LS
By unhappy father - November 3 - 1:13 amMy early-twenties daughter bought a 2000 LS8 with 121K last fall (2007). I was about to deploy with the reserves, so did not pay as much attention to her purchase as I normally would. CEL went on during her drive home from dealership, they replaced O2 sensor at their cost, CEL still came on, they did some repairs costing us $1400, car has same problems, surging and CEL on; now it has a coolant leak so she is driving my car until I come back this fall. I am not happy with the car or the dealerships treatment of a first-time car buyer...they should have known that this car is expensive to maintain. I would not recommend this vehicle to anyone, especially if it has higher mileage.

Lots of minor but expensive problems - 2000 Lincoln LS
By lee tallent - October 11 - 4:36 pmThis is a great looking car which is fun to drive and handles great. I bought mine used in 02 and it has been in the shop 12-15 times in the last 2 1/2 years. The extended warranty ran out 5,000 miles ago and since then I have had to replace 2 coils, Approx 180.00 each time and a third is now in need of replacement along with leaky gaskets ect (another 580.00 to repair) This is affordable luxury which I just cant afford. I am ready to trade because I wonder what is going to happen next.

My Coach (Turned Into) A Pumpkin!!! - 2000 Lincoln LS
By Cinderella - September 11 - 10:00 amWhat a difference a few months makes. Until very recently, I was very happy with my Lincoln LS Sport V8. All of a sudden, Im having all these problems; electrical, sliping trans, and the other day, the darn thing just wouldnt start. If its doing this at just under 13,000 miles, whats it going to do at 130,000? Im glad my LS isnt my beloved husband of 20 years or we would be gettin un-hitched!!!

Good Used Car - 2000 Lincoln LS
By HipHop - September 6 - 2:00 amI was between the LS and the Lexus ES300, got a better deal on the LS so went for it - Decent power and awesome handling - There were a bunch of problems with the 00 LSs so I would recommend a newer one if funds allow, otherwise buy the extended warranty and you should be ok - I also think the car is very safe

Lovin my affordable Jag - 2000 Lincoln LS
By hhinnh - July 26 - 10:18 amLittle known to the average consumer but the lincoln LS is on a jag base with a jaguar engine. That may explain some of the touchy behaviors and high repair track records. Just got my 2000 LS because it has bad valve gaskets/cooling system issues . Its fixed and now on the road. My husband is a mechanic so we were able to do it oursleves cheap. Its a tight squeeze in the engine compartment and requires a lot of special tools and lots of labor /time to do simple repairs (hence the costs) This has been a great car so far, though I am leery as I know the history with Jaguars reliability. So dont nock ford or Lincolns for this one, its the choice in engines and drivetrains thats the problem

Unreliable piece.... - 2000 Lincoln LS
By 2ndbest - July 3 - 4:06 amThis was a nice ride, flashy & a sharp looking car. But thats all it has going for it. First the front lower ball joints needed replaced, they were recalled but the company wouldnt pay for mine. Then the alternator and battery needed replaced. Int and Ext lights went off outta nowhere! It overheats also. It continues to leak water from the windshield when it rains. One window regulator was replaced. The airbag light is stuck on. The sway bar still has a clunking noise. Drives terribly in the snow, get stuck every year. Love the style, just not dependable. Never again will I buy a lincoln/ford auto.

Still Fun to Drive - 2000 Lincoln LS
By markl - May 20 - 10:00 amI bought the V8 LS in the first model year. Other than a couple of minor (i.e. < 1/2 day) warranty repairs, its been a great vehicle to own and maintain. Ive put 56,000 miles on it so far and Im having as much fun driving it today as I did the day I bought it. The handling is just superb and the ride is great.

They STILL Dont Believe Its A Lincoln - 2000 Lincoln LS
By Stan The Man - May 4 - 2:00 amIts been almost 2 years since I got my LS Sport (V8). Even now, people still ask me what kind of car it is because of the way it looks and performs. Its the best car Ive ever owned or driven. This (rear wheel drive) car is very sure-footed. Grips the road even when you add a little water. The handling is just superb! Love that Advance Trac. The Select Shift too! For around forty grand, this vehicle is a work of art!!!
