Dont know if you know this but it's pretty hot in alaska during the summer.
Hey scotty my hometown in Montana is the only place that doesn't use road salt or road spray in the winter time everyone has to rely on themselves to get out 😂
HI Scotty, I love and follow your videos almost every day. Just a quick one: How do I buy this car and ship it to Ghana my country?
Thanks in advance
Hi scotty i recently bought a 2006 Lincoln Zephyr for 5200$ has 95k miles. Was 1 owner trade in and still have a warranty has no rust and seems to run great so far was wondering if u think we got a good deal and do the zephyr's have major known issues?
Scotty what do you think if the new wrangler rubicon 392 concept with a V8 6.4L engine?
Scotty be like: I paid for the whole speedometer and now Im gonna use the whole speedometer
Nobody told me that you have to lube a speedometer cable, now my needle broke off and I have to use the fuel guage to see if I'm speeding in my 1973 Cadillac Sedan Deville.
@@chesucat lol
I saw that comment a few days ago. Hmmm..
@@chesucat you see, these cables break once in a while just get another. thx for the tip though will lube the cable in my 1977 Ford Escort (European Ford)
BARTENDER: what'll it be champ?
ME: I'll have 1/8th of what Scotty's having before he films his videos
1/4 might be the minimum. Dunno if 1/8 of the pill will cut it.
🤣 🤣 Gotta love his energy, hilarious, always laughing at his videos.
I had commented about that a couple of years ago, but no one even noticed my comment tho.
*Budtender
Not without a prescription you aint
*I'm a 2006 Lincoln LS owner and it's still my car fourteen years later. I can't see myself buying new if I don't have to. I'm thrifty.* 😆
Dont drive much, eh?
Nothing wrong with that. I had a 2011 Toyota Tacoma single cab with the 2.7L engine. In 2019 a traded for another Tacoma because I wanted an access cab and 6 cylinders engine to do some towing. If I had bought one like that in the first place, I would still have it.
Oh man good stuff but what problems have you had, if I may ask. I got an 06
Robert Fortier My dad's friend has the 2000-02 version of it, he bought it brand new and he'll probably never get rid of it, it's black and he keeps it in GREAT shape mainly because he barely drives it, I'm thinking about getting one myself
@@phillyeaglesforlife5127 If you do, get an 04-06 they're more reliable and the technology is lit. Make sure to get the perforated seats and the THX.

This old Lincoln LS was one of the best looking cars Lincoln' ever made. It was at that time made to compete with Audi and BMW.
The Cadillac actually if you look into it
Ya. Thats why they sold millions of them in the 24 years theyve been making them....
Ya, right. Uh huh.
I think the Mkz is up there.
The Mark Viii was better
It was to compete against the Cadilliac Catera
This was my first car I purchased back in 07. It's still my favorite care to this day.
$500 for a car that go 160mph without the engine on?! I'm sold 🤣🤣
Lol
It just needs a flux capacitor and it’ll travel back in time twice as fast as a DeLorean!
Drop it off a cliff and you might get 200 mph!
Hahahaha
2:06, that guy is just like....what?
That’s the first time I’ve seen a broken speedo with its needle stuck on the maximum speed instead of 0 mph.
My 69 Chevelle would peg the needle in the winter while making a pretty good whine. Something inside had moisture that would freeze. It would drop down when stopping, but not all the way.
You have to wonder, would Scotty wear a Speedo to the pool?
I've had a lotta $500 cars in my lifetime! One lasted 8 years before I wrecked it. Others didnt make it home! Such is life when you're poor! Ya learn to live without certain "amenities": a/c, stereo, leather, sunroof, power windows, horn, turn signals, tread, brakes....
I've had 11 cars since I got my license in 2013, all under $1000, like you said some last, one made it home and died in my driveway... Wouldn't start next day
Tread lmao
Donell Muniz on the flip side, I choose to drive cars without those amenities so I can continue to amass my wealth. Those are the sacrifices I continue make to enjoy an affluent lifestyle. I believe most Americans flush theirs fortunes on car payments and credit cards, better luck on the next used car.
@@chicanopowers4938 GOOD plan! Dont give a fuxk what people say about your car.!!. If it goes, stops, has a radio and maybe good a/c, it does EVERYTHING the same as a car that you spend a GRAND or more a Month just to show off!!
bigwo56 I think some of my co-workers are nut for spending $800 plus a month for a truck, but it's their money; I just don't want my taxes to go up to fund their retirement.
Great videos always Scotty. Very funny while instructive. Keep up your top efforts.
You make me laugh Scotty my dad was a mechanic you remind me of him very much greetings from Northern Ireland 👌
Another one of Scott’s great videos!
I had a 2004 Lincoln LS and LOVED IT. the engine is great
"This baby is going one hundred and sixty miles an hour standing still! " 🤣🤣🤣😂😂
Hey from Australia Scotty love your videos mate you are so funny with fantastic simplified advice for anyone wanting to try DIY mechanics or just to avoid lemons 😊👌
Thanks for another brilliant video.
Great video Scotty. And, I love your humor.
Loved these Lincoln’s
I always liked the look of those cars. Real timeless.
ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT
I had a 2000 and 2001 Lincoln ls with the 5 speed manual transmission. I had great luck with them. They are very reliable for me. It was my favourite car.
Owned two. The V-8's were known for coolant leaks when their plastic parts deteriorated. The thermostat housing and the over flow tank. As did the 2000-2003 plastic timing chain tensioners after 125K or sooner if they didn't use synthetic. So avoid one that has overheated or rattles at start up. The V-6's had fewer problems. Transmission solenoids also went. And coils went, window regulators broke. Front sway bar bushings went. BUT, the body is half aluminum and I haven't seen a rusty one ever, even after 20 years up north. The body is very solid, designed with input from Volvo. I bought a low mileage 2002 V6 auto for a niece and it's needed some suspension work and the window regulators. But I sleep better knowing she's in a solid car. I agree with Scotty, they make good beaters if you find one cheap.
The LS was made when Ford owned Jaguar. The motor is an AJ designated Jaguar engine. It's actually an entry-level Jaguar with a Lincoln body. Parts are cheap from Ford or eBay. You are correct in some of the parts that need changing. Suspension, coils, radiator overflow. I bought an 05 in 09 with 65,000 miles, and I now have 350, ooo miles on it. But the rockers are rusted out, and the rear passenger lower control arm is no longer attached to the underneath. She is retired and under a cover. It will be a parts car. I'm buying another one. Good ones aren't cheap.

Scotty: Jaguars are endless moneypits pieces of garbage
Also Scotty: This Lincoln's V8 engine (Jaguar AJ-V8) can run forever
Jaguar is garbage tough
I've heard the same. My mom had an lsv8 didnt last. You can find countless forums, If you get 120,000 miles out of it you got lucky lol
Most of these I’ve seen have tons of issues and being sold super cheap
This car is a pile of crap. Scotty has lost his mind.
That Lincoln LS was a great car in its day. Many of the technology is still being used (rain sensing wipers, all windows down on key fob, superior sound system). That was one great car that I had and it was fast. With all that being said, it was a Jaguar in disguise.
Scotty: "it's got the big gangsta trunk, you can fill all kinds of stuff in this case..." 😎
I remember I had a 2002 Lincoln LS V8 really clean with the chrome wheels. really fun car and honestly reliable especially since it was a Jaguar engine. I miss it sometimes
Love your vids
A friend of mine had one of these, great car, I loved it. Too bad they didn’t sell more cause there isn’t a ton of these out there
My first car was a four hundred dollar luxury car. I drove it for three years, and I learned a LOT about doing my own repairs.
Scotty totally knows what he's talking about! Many Lincolns have AISIN transmissions, which are reliable and bulletproof.
I’m so satisfied with the fact that this was my first car. Loved it!
Lincoln LS, extremely durable and long lasting motor and transmission, Thanks Scotty.
Thanks to you and your tips I bough a 2011 Rav 4 back in September 2019. Have put more than 50k miles on it and still going flawlessly! Do all the work myself, so easy! So far just fluids and brake job. Thanks Scotty!!!
Wow, you put on 50k miles in 10 months??
@@d47000 same question here z🤣🤣🤣
VRotate Yes. I do rideshare on the side and also have a transportation company. It was the most logical decision. This car is awesome. My only complaints are: A humming noise that comes from the transfer case at around 25 - 35 mph (doing some research I found that it’s quite common), and random rattling noises from all the plastic trim. I got the car with 80k miles, one owner (lady on her 80’s). Body has some scratches and I had to replace both bumpers (she would bump onto things a lot). Mechanical wise, it’s perfect. My next one will be a 4Runner TRD without a doubt.
Forgot to mention I drive mainly highways. I’m expecting to get at least 250k - 300k miles out of it.
@@thegravitxI doubt the car will quit at 300k as long as you maintain it well. The things are built to last. I wouldn't be surprised if you made it past 400, even 500k with mostly highway usage and frequent oil/trans fluid changes. The 4runner TRDs are very cool cars too. If I wasn't a German car guy (aka a masochist) a Toyota would be my next car for sure
Cool Mechanic. Guy has a good sense of humor. ✌️
Whenever you pop up from your trunk, I always worry that you might bump your head. Just be careful! Haha.... nice video as always!
haha i had a couple of those, they require premium fuel I learned that the hard way, when the cats plugged up, honestly i dont think any of them have working ac anymore haha, love your videos!!!!
Scotty quick question. My wife bought a 2015 Kia Forte5. I feel it was a good deal at 12,000 with only 5200 miles. Probably belonged to a snowbird here in Florida. Well I replaced the wipers and I am having sm issue finding one that works correctly on the rear. First one was the wrong fastener, now the second one fits but one end does not press down on the windshield. Is it best to just by OEM at the dealership.
I admire you scooty you are not afraíd to speak your mind your knowledge is great ive been follow you for a about 3 years ive learn a lot since then i just hope you keep this up cars manufacturers dont like what you say its really amasing how mucho you know about cars and i know about cars
I remember my sister bought a late 80's Camry in the early 90's dirt cheap..repaired frame. It ran perfect..so smooth,soft ride. I wonder why I don't still see them on the road?..sure they looked like shoeboxes on wheels...all else about them was great. Again,if you bought one new then..you could say 40 years later its everyday and runs fine. Good deal.
No a/c in Houston?! I can't imagine there being a downside to that.
Lmao. Hot as hello in Houston

That LS had a 3.9 Jag engine. Mines needed new coils every year
So it's a Jaguar?
@@Arz2003 It's a Ford vehicle still. This is when Ford owned a large stake in Jaguar before selling it and Land Rover to a chinese business. It's a Jaguar engineered engine. The actual Ford V8 found in the F150 and Explorer was the better of the two engines. Lincoln is the ONLY vehicle that got those V8s over the Ford engineered ones.
Same here!!!!!!
I have denso coils, no problem. Maybe try the oem coils in yours, they should last forever.
I love that little Engine.. Spooked Many Mustangs Back in Highschool, Especially when You Know Its Getting Repo
Used to have one of these and it was a great car, fun to drive!
A retired mechanic friend of mine spent his time 3 to 4 days at a slow pace, pulled the dash apart and fixed the ac and put it back together. It served him well for years...
Hey Scotty. Your vids give me a lot of confidence in being a car owner. How would you go about finding an honest mechanic?
Know at least some of the answers to the questions you're asking your mechanic and maybe he'll tell ya something you don't know but need to know. Who's knows good luck.
The 2nd best car.
94 Celica is the first best, because it has freezing cold ac.
Wasn't $500 tho
@@JesusSaves86AB it was $350 tho
I liked that body style too!
I have an 02 silver LSE V8 great condition. No rust at all still had the factory coating on it. Spoiler on the back with dope chrome rims. Never had any major issues in the 2 years I’ve owned it. Barely has over 100,000 miles. Great car 💯
I have the same car as you! Had is for over 6 years almost 170k miles. Sadly mine had a little rust on the back wheel well. Got it fixed though
Those trunks have a drain. In case your "cargo" accidentally sprung a leak... or two. 📉😎📈
Huge trunk with a drain plug....sounds perfect for transporting bodies
Going from Denver to Albuquerque Watching Scotty’s videos 😂

@@hernandv2000 have you ever been to Taco Sal's?
Wow that Lincoln LS engine sounds great, when Scotty stomped the gas pedal.
Been there and done that with the rebuilt engines. I agree, get one that was rebuilt by a reputable shop. Got a “parts” truck with a rebuilt Toyota 22re engine, and as soon as we got it in and started driving it, the head gasket went out and it started overheating.
Yeah, my car goes 200 mph! In my dreams! 😅
These cars have their issues. Once rectified, tho, their great cars! Proud owner of an 02 LS V8 myself, still runs and drives with over 274k miles on the clock. 💪🏾 Retired her last June after purchasing a 2013 Lexus GS 350 F Sport, tho..
You still have it now?
The Cole ford panther platform. Nice
My friend and coworker bought a V6 one when they just came out. They were pretty nice.
Bought my Lincoln LS V8 for $700... Best grocery getter I've ever had!
I got a 2001 Chevy Prizm with 190k miles in 2018, still my best grocery car.
Wait for engine failure. The LS has a Jaguar engine which is no good. Maintain that car or else you will regret it. Good luck😬😬😬
@@maxbucio9854it’s funny to me how people see “jaguar engine” and just assume it’s gonna go bad.
@@maxbucio9854 Lol, there's nothing wrong with the engine. It's not a Toyota, but it's not less reliable than average. Coils, thermostat housing, and overflow tank are the main issues.
I remember seeing a 2006 Lincoln LS with 27K on the odometer, selling for $8,995. Hella wish I'd have gotten it. Perfect maintenance record on the Carfax, too.
They sell for that cheap cause they are trash for reliability. It's pretty much a Jaguar with a lincoln badge...scotty is dead wrong about the engine and transmission.
I had a Lincoln LS V8 - Absolutely loved it!
I’ve had mine for 7 years and it’s still running strong!
At least 30 years ago a friend of mine said if a car runs it's worth $500 interesting that that still stands today
Man i love that. Lawnmower car! Hahaha
I had a 2000 LS with a V-6 and a 5 speed manual. Fantastic car.
My mom had a black one of these with the quad tip exhaust. This one and the remodeled Mark 8 she had were my favorite cars (other than the mustangs my dad had LOL)
Who the hell is racing!!!!???
No one. It's Scotty again.
Oh, ok.
I've had mine for 10 years, I had to swap the engine and trans because of the timing chain tensioners failed. Been running ever since.
The LS has a Jaguar engine, which is not reliable.
Older Lincolns and Mercury sedans. I'm with you scotty. I had a Grande Marquis that took me around for 3 years. Best car I ever bought cheap.
When the air conditioner goes bad on cars here in my hometown (Venezuela) there's always the air blowditioner to rely on: roll down the window.
I would love to pay $500 for a car and drive it for 1 year. Forget 10 years.
Well, start looking!
@Jack njones thats normal life here in Kentucky
This is when Ford owned jaguar, the engine and trans are literally jaguar. They weren't reliable and terribly expensive to fix. I feel like at this point you just pump out videos just to do it. Everyone knows if this was an s or x type you'd be talking about it being " an endlessly money pit". It's a lincoln that's LITERALLY a jaguar.
Great while theyre not broken down.
@@hotrodray6802 you can say that for pretty much every car ever
The Lincoln LS was my favorite car when I was in college
I always like them but I love the big lincions signature.
Have a good day everyone!
thanks you too!
Scotty Kilmer
I have learned a lot since I watched your channel.
1:38 what you came for 😂
He should so pin this.
I remember the LS when I was following Ford US more closely from here in Australia. Good looking car back in the day.
My father just got a late 90s continental for 1k and it works super well
I'd still spend a grand on the AC if I only paid $500 for the car. $1500 is still a good deal.
All day!
Completely agree!
Sure .. and the speedometer can be swapped at the same time when doing the disassembling for the evaporator...then you'll have an excellent drive for another 15 years
Carlos Mejia sure beats spending $40,000 for a new Toyota😁
@@steelisthemeal Well, somebody had to say it.
This Lincoln ls was known to be unreliable. Why is Scott recommending it??? I just dont understand
He just said the engine and transmission were reliable. What did you think was unreliable about them?
@@manupasquette4116 There’s many other comments by people saying the engine and trans are definitely unreliable in these. That maybe Scotty got it mixed up with another car.
I had a Lincoln LS and these engines are famous for misfires. The ignition coils from Lincoln were crap. Spend at least $200 per month changing spark plugs and ignition coils. Glad to get rid of mine
These are interesting engines. Technically it's a jaguar aj v8. However jaguars used the 4.0 and later 4.2 manufactured in England. Now the Lincoln ls and ford Thunderbird used the 3.9 version of those engines and were assembled in the u.s somewhere. As long as you take care of them and upgrade the timing chain guides to gen 3 if they haven't been already, they're pretty solid. I've seen cars that havent been taken care of the best with 200k miles on them. I currently have an s-type with 70k on it and have dont preventative maintenance to keep the car as my daily
500 bucks for a car that still drives is amazing
Hell, $500 for that? I'd drop the extra grand to fix the A/C for That car! I love the way the LS looks.
But I'd buy a Thunderbird over the Lincoln just because of the interior flaws. Plus the ABS and check engine lights were on and I heard a borked door ajar sensor. I had a 2002 Explorer with that problem that liked to kick off its alarm at random times because it thought someone was opening its doors when literally nothing was even close to it
I drive an 01 LS and this video made me really happy. Non-existent air conditioner, shitty electronics, and leaky doorwells. Drives like a dream and a smooth and nice car.
Scotty , I watch your questions and answers all most every day . How do I ask a question ?
Scotty please help.... I've had toyotas my whole life and in love with them. My girlfriend was looking for a used vehicle and bought a Chevy Equinox after much counsel against. (Had more features than a rav 4).How do I not hold a grudge and be passive aggressive when things start to go wrong with the thing. Canyon lake Tx
Meow that's a situation.
My mechanic uncle was considering proposing until his girl said she wanted a camero. Said he’d rather spend his free time doing other things than fixing her car. Get out before the problems start.
Console her by reminding her that the engine may not start, the transmission may not shift, but HEY that Sirius satellite radio still works GREAT, baby!
It could be worse... She didn't buy a Fiat!
Equinox is actually not a bad ride. Only problem i've seen was an 05 had the a/c compressor go out.
Cleanest $500 engine bay ever! Scotty must have done his magic on it already.
The Lincoln LS is highly underrated needs a bit more power but one of my favorites along with the Jaguar S type
160 mph standing😂😂😂
Oh the coil pack nightmares I've had in Lincoln LS and Ford Thunderbirds that motor loves to misfire
Yes I owned a lincoln Ls I had that same problem
Yes
Simple fix
Oh yeah it is very simple fix I'm just saying every single one I worked at a used car dealer that love to buy LSS and Thunderbirds every single one of those 3.9 V8 would misfire because the damn coil pack every single one
96-99 taurus sho has the same coil packs. had one an it was a nightmare to figure out which one was bad till the engine threw a code.
Hey Scotty! I’m a teenager looking for a first car, I have about a $2500 budget and am looking at an automatic ‘97 Honda Accord sedan. Reliability is most important to me and I wanted to see what advice you have for me about older Honda’s and if getting an Accord is a good idea.
That’s my said about the ac in my VW, 50 years ago, 2-40.
2 windows, 40 miles an hour.
Did Scotty just curse?
“Half Assedly” 😄😄😄
That’s why we love him 😆
I think he's referring to his old high school buddy, "Half-acid Lee".
News flash, that V8 is not a Ford motor. It's a coil eating Jaguar 3.9 V8 which was also used in the 2002-2005 Thunderbird. Also these LS's are known for all kinds of electrical gremlins (again courtesy of Jaguar) so I personally wouldn't chance owning one. $500 for a cheap, beat up example that runs and drives? Sure, why the hell not? Drive the wheels off of it (or until the electrical gremlins take over and brick your car, whichever comed first)
Exactly. Its one of the most unreliable cars. I don't know why he's recommending this car. It has bad reputation from owners. RUclipsrs can't be trusted sometimes
2003 Lincoln LS V8.
I don't recommend doing what I accidently did but I think I might've driven over 2000 miles with no oil. Didn't check before the trip and waited s month after. Indiana to Miami and back....
Still runs great and did alot better as it held up since after getting some oil. My Chevy Impala from 2003 didn't do so great after getting oil and seized up not long after I put oil in...
Had the '03 V8. It was great when new, but became a money pit right after warranty expired at year 6, only had 50k miles on it. Leaking oil, transmission problems, and spark plugs had to be replaced every 6 months.
