The Lincoln LS was known for its refined ride and comfortable interior. Common issues related to the ageing of this vehicle include issues with its complex electrical systems, air suspension (where fitted) and potential leaks in the cooling system. Parts availability can be challenging, requiring specialist sourcing. Given the short production run, finding specific parts may entail a greater effort.
