Sethgrayson, you are talking way over his head. He has never heard of a Lexus LS.

He's still stuck on a 1999 Lincoln town car with 117k.. Which he thinks is gold.
Here in houston, he's consider "po pimpin"

I give up, can't argue with stoopid

You asked how much should you spend on the car. Not how worthy the car is or what redeemining features it had. In which said traits make the car underrated or a "hidden gem".

Yes, the Panthers are superbly reliable, cheap to repair, and super comfortable. If all systems are functional, they are worth buying if the gas doesn't turn you away. That doesn't mean spending $8000 on one from 1999 and with 117000K. Especially since the Executive is the BASE trim while the Cartier is the high-level trim.

The only used very late-90'a early 00's Lincoln(s) I would pay decent money for would be the Aluminum Teksid Block Intech DOHC 32-Valve 4.6L V-8 1997-1998 Lincoln Mark VIII LSC and Aluminum Teksid Block Intech DOHC 32-Valve 5.4L 2002 Lincoln Blackwood.

Also the 1990-2000 Lexus SC300/SC400 are just as fun and well appointed long lasting Luxury Grand touring cars as the mid-late 90's LSC.

also the 1994-1996 Fleetwood with the C4 Corvette derived LT1 V_8 was decent as well esp. with the towing package:

The Brougham option package included a full vinyl top, sail panel badging, specific seat design with six-way driver's seat memory and heated and three-position lumbar front seats, instrument panel badging and rear seat storage armrest.

The 7,000 lb (3,200 kg) trailer towing package was made available 1993, something not seen in a production sedan since the 1971–1976 Cadillac Sixty Special.

The RPO V4P package included heavy duty cooling (RPO V08, which consisted of a seven-blade mechanical fan and an extra capacity radiator), RPO FE2 Suspension System Ride Handling, HD 4L60 transmission, RPO KC4 Cooling System Engine Oil, RPO KD1 Cooling System Transmission Oil, RPO KG9 140 amp alternator, and RPO GT4 3.73 gears with an 8.5-inch ring gear.

In 1994–1996, the V4P package was revised with RPO GU6 3.42 gears with the new more powerful RPO LT1 260 horsepower (190 kW) V8, and HD 4L60E transmission with unique accumulators to shift smoother with the shorter rear axle gearing.

Thread closed: OP posted with what they paid for the car, so the premise is a moot point at this stage.
