[Shotimes] Beat by a Lincoln LS

[Ron Nottingham]

Don't know about the V6 deal, but the local Ford dealer has an '02 V8 LS
with the Sport package, 17k miles for $19,995.  Not up on the LS prices, but
isn't that about half the cost of a new one?!?

My wife liked it, but it really would fit our family.  It's a little small
in the backseat area legroom.  So we are back to looking at (for) a
7-Series'.  Still haven't found the "one".
