Up for auction and your consideration is a very rare and low mileage (103K) 2000 Lincoln LS V6 with a factory manual transmission. These cars were rare when they came out. Lincoln only made 2331 from 2000 – 2002. The manual transmission was dropped in 2003 when they freshened the model line.
The outside of this car is black and is in overall nice condition and shines well. It has some of the little nicks and light scratches you would expect in a 13 year old car. There is a place on the right rear where it looks like someone did some touch up. I expect it was to cover some of the sun burn commonly seen on top surfaces. The headlights are clean and clear. The factory 17” wheels are in good condition. There is some light curb rash on the edges. There is also a matching alloy as a spare. The spare still has the factory markings on it.
The inside is light gray leather and is in extremely nice condition. There’s no wear on any of the bolsters. The headliner is in excellent condition and the carpet is free of any stains. There are some small nicks on the outside edge of the driver's door panel.
This car has every option available on the v6 models. In fact, I’ve never found one with all of these options on it that wasn’t a V8. Some of the features and options on this car include driver’s side memory, dual front heated seats, autolamp, auto dimming inside mirror, steering wheel controls, home link, factory moonroof, rain sensing wipers, dual zone electronic climate control, Alpine audio system w/ 6 disc changer, side air bags, factory fog lights, factory 17” wheels with a matching spare wheel, and more.
The rain sensing wipers do not work. I’m not sure why and I never got the chance to really look in to it. The left rear window does not roll down. Also, the airbag light is on.
The engine is Ford/Lincoln’s reliable 3.0L DOHC V6. This engine really runs nicely. I’ve recently done some work to this engine. The coils on the passenger side have been replaced with OEM DG528 units. The ones on the driver’s side are also DG528 with one aftermarket. All of them fire well with no misfires. I had a vacuum leak on the car giving a lean run code. I finally found the leak at the PCV elbow under the lower intake. As a result, the PCV valve and PCV elbow are brand new OEM parts. While the intake was off, I went ahead and installed new Motorcraft spark plugs.
The transmission is what sets this car apart from the crowd. This car is equipped with a factory installed Getrag 221 5-speed manual transmission. The transmission shifts out very nicely. The clutch picks up under half way and engages smoothly.
The tires are all in excellent condition. All in all, this is really a fun car to drive. These cars have a 50/50 weight distribution and handle very nimbly. I have driven this car for the last 5,000 miles and have enjoyed every mile.
I have to sell this car "as is with no warranty".
High bidder is required to make contact me within 24 hours of the end of the auction.
$500 deposit (cashier's check or money order) is required within 2 days of the end of the auction with the remaining balance due 4 days thereafter.
If the high bidder does not satisfy the balance in the alotted time period and does not make prior arrangements, the $500 deposit is non-refundable and I reserve the right, at that point, to offer the vehicle to the second highest bidder.
If I do not hear from the high bidder within 48 hours from the end of the auction, I reserve the right to offer/sell the car to the second highest bidder.
Zero feedback bidders are welcome, but please contact me prior to bidding. I reserve the right to cancel zero feedback bids that have not done this. Please keep this in mind if you are a "last minute" bidder.
This vehicle is listed for sale locally for $4500 (our buy it now). We reserve the right to end this auction early if the reserve has not been met and it sells locally. However, once the reserve is met on the Ebay auction we will pull it from the lot.
I have set the reserve at $3600. Please note that I will not end this auction early. Ending an auction early (with the exception of the circumstances listed above) is unfair to the other bidders.
We would be happy to pick up the winning bidder at the local airport (Greenville Spartanburg International Airport), the local train station, or the local Greyhound station.
I do not pad our prices with any "documentation" fees like so many other car dealers on Ebay do. Contrary to many dealers will say it really doesn't cost much to fill out a couple of papers. SC buyers will need to pay standard taxes (sales and property when applicable). I can also help out of state buyers get a South Carolina temporary/vehicle in transit tag ($20).
Finally, SHIPPING...we do not ship cars ourselves. However, we will be happy to work with your shipping company any way we can.

NHTSA will investigate some Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ models for power steering issue
Tue, 07 Oct 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening an investigation into the 2010-2012 Ford Fusion, Fusion Hybrid and Lincoln MKZ, the 2012 MKZ Hybrid and 2011 Mercury Milan because the agency has hundreds of complaints of electric power steering failure in these models.
According to NHTSA's data, it has received 508 complaints of the power steering allegedly suddenly malfunctioning and resulting in increased effort to turn the wheel. In four incidents, these failures resulted in loss of control and crashes. According to the reports, in some cases a power steering warning message came on as the fault occurred, and other times the system restored itself by turning off and then restarting the vehicle. NHTSA said it has also received further field report data from Ford, but that information hasn't been publicly released yet.
For the moment, there isn't a recall for this failure on these models. NHTSA is just investigating them to "assess the scope, frequency and safety consequences of the alleged defect," and the agency says an estimated 938,000 vehicles could potentially be affected.
Lincoln MKC prototype spied out testing
Wed, 20 Mar 2013As was the case with the Lincoln MKZ, it appears that Lincoln isn't wasting any time getting its newest model transformed from concept to production form. We just saw the MKC Concept earlier this year at the Detroit Auto Show, and based on these spy shots, it looks like the final touches are being put in place for the 2014 Lincoln MKC crossover.
Sharing its platform with the Ford Escape, we can definitely see some similarities between these two compact crossovers when it comes to the roofline and daylight opening, but through the heavy camouflage, Lincoln's signature split-wing grille can easily be seen and it looks like the concept's taillights will also make it to reality. On the disappointing side, it looks like the integrated exhaust outlets are being ditched for some round outlets, and we can't tell if the production version will keep the Audi-like clamshell rear liftgate.
J Mays retiring from Ford design, succeeded by Moray Callum
Tue, 05 Nov 2013Ford's highly influential head of design, J Mays, has announced that he'll be retiring from his position after 33 years in the industry, 16 of which were at the Dearborn, MI-based company. Upon departure, he'll be succeeded as group vice president of design by Moray Callum. If that last name sounds familiar, yes, he's the brother of Jaguar's Ian Callum.
It's difficult to explain just how big of a role Mays had on not just Ford's design over the years, but on the entire industry. Before heading to Dearborn, Mays worked for Audi, BMW and then Volkswagen, where he was involved in concept cars that paved the way for design icons like the first-generation Audi TT and the Volkswagen New Beetle. As for his Ford resume, it's extensive.
Mays joined the company in 1997 as design director for Ford, Lincoln, Mercury and Mazda, as well as the Premier Automotive Group (Volvo, Land Rover, Jaguar and Aston Martin). He was heavily involved in the Ford Fusion, Focus, Fiesta, Taurus, F-150 and Mustang, while also contributing to concept cars like the Atlas, Evos, 427, Forty-Nine, Shelby GR-1, Lincoln MKZ and the MKC.
