Lincoln LS - DD/Family Car?

[wiedemab]

Well, I thought some of you may have some opinions related to this......

I'm looking to make a change to my DD. I am currently driving an'03 SVT Focus that I bought new, but now that I am dropping my 8 month old daughter off at the sitter every morning, the 2-door Focus is less than ideal. I've tossed around a few different ideas, but have somewhat settled on an upscale sedan such as a Lincoln LS.

I am not dead set on a domestic product, but I definitely lean that way. There are several '04 V8 LS's that are pretty loaded for $13K or less with around 50K miles on them in my area. This seems like a pretty nice car that could be picked up for $10-$12K.

Thoughts???? Anyone have any personal experience, be it good or bad.

Thanks for any help. I know this is a boring topic compared to some of the others on hear, but I thought with so many knowledgeable car guys it would be a good place to ask.
