My old daily driver was a 2001 Lincoln LS V8. It had 120k on it when I sold it and didn't have mechanical problems until around 90k or so. There were features on it I still miss that my GS doesn't have but I like the GS better because of it's reliability. I didn't want another V8 because of gas mileage (I'm an outside rep for a mortgage lender).
Other cars I've owned (or currently own) that I DIDN'T sell for the GS were...
95 300ZX TT: Show car clean, tastefully modded, 386 rear wheel HP.
94 Mazda RX7: Sold it with 21k miles, tastefully modded, mostly stock motor.
95 Toyota Supra turbo: AWESOME car, made 412 rear wheel HP barely modded. Insane resale value.
93 Acura NSX: Mostly stock motor, suspension mods...mid-engine exotic. Everyday, I can't decide between this and the Supra.
