Alright guys I am enjoying the love here at CL and I love the LS400. I have came across a deal that has been rattling in my head for the past 8 hours. There is 2 choices. Two cars. 1final decision........

Should I buy a: 1995 LS400 w/110k miles for $13,000 or 2000 Lincoln LS v8/75k miles for $12,800

I was ready to pick up my LS400 on thursday, but I came across the Lincoln. Now I can't decide. I love the styling and ride quality of both cars. I currently have a 90 LS and a crotch rocket as cars for right now. I originally was going to get rid of my 90 ls for a 95. Now this new problem. HELP!!!!!!!!!!

You may want to check out this months Consumer Reports.... The Lincoln didn't fare too well for reliablity.

Especially the early ones - I think 2000 was the first year, and I've heard they had real reliability problems. Too bad - its a very sweet driving car. I was tempted too...

95 LS400 because it is a Lexus. Lexus bulit quality, reliability...... Easy decision.

Definitly buy the ls400 that mileage is nothing i saw one with 396000 and it was still running like a beauty lincoln would never last. Go with the ls400. I currently own a ls430 which i think is the best and then i think would come the ls400.

the engine in the ls400 is probably fine but other components might not.
Check to see if the timing belt has been changed, the power steering isn't leaking on the alternator, and all the needles light up correctly. that's all i can think of for now.

That question should never be asked in this forum, '95LS400 all the way baby.

Not everyone is biased.

Dude! First of all no one is trying to be biased here. The guy already made his decision, 2nd of all the comment I made was supposed to have a little humor to it. As you can see I have '95 in my sig....daa!

I'd have gone with the LS400 as well.. The Lincoln LS hasn't been getting good reviews regarding reliability - though everyone says it's an awesome car. It comes in first place in so many categories but that reliability always kills it...
