Noob here!

Hey guys. So Last Monday somebody ran a red light, and totaled my car (2004 Lincoln LS V8), and the 3rd generation TL is the car I definitely want. Right now I'm looking at a 2007, and a 2008 model year, and was wondering if there is any real difference in them, and besides the fact that it's a year newer should I go for the 2008? So far after looking at the threads on here there is a lot bigger after market performance stuff you can do to these cars. The LS is mostly custom work that is very expensive. I had a cold air intake, bigger throttle body, magnaflow ss exhaust (deleted the resinators), and mclaren grille on it. I was sad to see it go, but excited to start with a new car (especially one that doesn't depreciate as much).

Thanks Chris

Welcome Chris!

there isnt many differences between those years until you step to the type S.
then you get the bigger engine and red ambient interior lighting and some other differences.

As stated, their is no difference between those two if they're base models, but the Type S is different than the base. Actually we have a decent aftermarket support from our vendors on the site. Search the site for ATLP, RV6, HealToe, JnC, AckTL05. It's hard to search google for parts for our cars, use the search button up top.
