2003 Lincoln LS consumer reviews

I bought a 03 LS v8 for 1k with 158,000 miles on it and for the price you can get these cars it's well worth it. These cars are pretty quick for what they are.

I bought my 2003 Lincoln LS with 116,000 miles on it. I like the way it looks, drives, and performs. it needs work and Im able to perform most of the repairs myself. I wouldn't recommend this vehicle to someone who couldn't.

This 2003 LS Lincon has been a outstsndibg everyday i drive the better it gets performance exel.gas milage comfort handling i bought to usr fot a weekend and sell make a few bucksbut thimking detail fix a few things make a killing on it.

The car exceeded our expectations for reliability, performance, comfort and styling. It has all the right features heated and cooled leather seats, sunroof, and the power adjustable pedals adjust to suit my wife. The car also had high safety rating which was comforting.

This car is solid with great overall performance and styling. Aged very well as it still turns heads. No major repairs needed at 120 K miles.

I originally bought this car to get me from home to work and back. Now that I've been driving it for a while I'm pleased with how comfortable and spacious I've found it to be. My passengers all love it and every time I have plans to carpool my friends insist we take my car. I've never been more proud to own such a reliable and comfortable vehicle.

So far the car is excellent with only 2 problems being the transmission and AC . But the price out weighs the problems greatly because a running car for this price is a steal

I owned the v8 Lincoln ls sport for 6 years.Paid $10,700 at 73,000 miles,fully loaded with all options.l had owned an Oldsmobile Aurora 1998 for 10 years,front wheel drive.lt took along time to adjust how to drive the ls compared to the Aurora.Both large American luxury touring sedans. If you buy a Lincoln Ls now you can get a real good deal,if it is in good repair.lt is costly for upkeep and repairs !About 80% as expensive as a bmw.It has a jaguar engine!The plastic components that connect engine to cooling,ect we'll fail,replace prior first! This car is very,very fun to drive!Irented a Dodge Challenger and less fun than ls.Don,t let the sedate styling fool you!You are always aware that this is a rear wheel drive car every moment!More than any other car l have driven. But....the amount of room inside is less than expected.See if you fit in this car before you decide to buy.The shoulder room by doors is especially narrow,visibility out rear side windows is not good.The seats are slippery and thin bolstering.The center consul on mine had to be duct taped shut,rattles The balance of this car,front and rear is outstanding!49/51 l believe.Great handling!The rear seats fold down,just enough room to fit mountain bike inside!The THX stereo is outstanding!I like it,s sound better than lexicon stereo in my Hyundai Genesis!The controls for everything are very simple and easy to use! The worst thing about this car though the transmission.You never know when it well shift very smooth or rough.It has a mind of it,s own.l was always afraid l would blow the tranny,so drove sedately more often than l wanted to.Often changed tranny oil to try to help.lt is complicated to do correctly. Overall it was one xxxx of a ride,a real quality driving experienced!!!A lot more fun than Chrsler 300!

Many, many Option! Great gas milage. Large Sedan. For me, 5?3?, 105 lbs, way too much car! Can?t tell when driving 90 that?s your not at 45. Barely touch gas & burning rubber! Lots of room though, large trunk; great Luxery car!

After owning this Silver 2003 LS Sport V8 for a year, here is what had to be fixed. Car had 48k miles when we bought it, owned since new by an elderly couple in Southern California. It now has 62k miles. Transmission went out completely after less than 2500 miles, saw the trans pan come off, tranny was shot at 50k miles. 2003 & some 2004 had bad factory trans fluid in them, our fluid had never got replaced or missing additive added. If you buy a 03-04, flush ALL trans fluid out immediately. $2860 for a new remanufactured trans. Had to replace all of the cooling system PLASTIC parts, including hoses. This will happen to all LS's. When one part fails the others will fail soon also, replace them all at the same time, save yourself money/headaches. Replaced all the coils/plugs, original factory coils can go bad early, replace all or you'll be doing one at a time forever. Don't buy cheap after market coils, proven to fail soon on this car, stick to factory or top brand level replacements. We used Delphi, seems fine so far. A/C compressor went out, replaced that. PS pump had small leak when we bought it, replaced. Would we have bought it knowing all of this would happen, never. That being said the car handles, drives beautiful and has lots of power. Now getting 24-26 mpg hwy going 75 mph between LA & LV. We're now enjoying this Lincoln 'Jaguar' vehicle very much. Hopefully the nightmare part is over! I hope some of this helps you. Best of luck with yours. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *What I wrote right after buying our LS 1 year ago - Oct 1, 2016* We bought a 03' LS Sport V8 one owner with 48k miles for little money. It has brand new tires on it as well. It has great power & handling. Lots of bells and whistles. Only checked highway gas mileage once so far, disappointing 22mpg. Hopefully that will get a bit better. Running Mobil 1 oil as always. We'll keep our fingers crossed and hope some of the issues others have had do not occur. The bottom line is it's a great value for the money.
