The 2005 Lincoln LS: before you buy
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2005 Lincoln LS for sale by us right now. For anyone shopping for the 2005 Lincoln LS, here are the facts that matter.
Before you sign for the LS
Owners filed 90 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, power train and engine and engine cooling; have those parts checked. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
The numbers in plain words
The powertrain to know here is the 3.0L 6-cylinder, with rear-wheel drive. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
Fuel use is rated 11.8 L/100 km combined, so 300 km needs about 35 litres. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $20.65. The EPA estimates US$4,100 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Who the LS suits
It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits commuters, couples and business trips.
Space and size
As a mid-size car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. Luggage space is rated at 368 litres: about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Drive it on your own roads
Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Rent the LS first, and buy only if it fits your life. Drive the LS on your commute before you commit to it.
Which one to look for
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
The cost of driving it
Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $206.50 at our price setting.
