MAKE SENSE OF THE NUMBERS

With an older car, age is only the starting point.

Condition can outweigh age

Restoration, originality, modifications and condition can affect asking prices for older vehicles. A higher price for an older model year does not prove appreciation.

Condition needs its own check

History, equipment and physical condition can change the value of an individual car. A model-year median cannot confirm any of them.

Mileage is part of the comparison

Open a model year above to compare asking prices within odometer groups. A small sample can change noticeably with a single listing; missing mileage is excluded.

BEFORE YOU DECIDE

Lincoln LS value & depreciation questions

Answers grounded in the data shown here.

Which Lincoln LS model year is cheapest?

The 2000 Lincoln LS is the most affordable model year we track, typically listed at $3,997. Compare every year in the table above.

How many Lincoln LS model years can I compare here?

This depreciation curve covers 3 model years, from 2000 to 2005, each priced from dealer listings in the September 3, 2026 snapshot.

Is this a forecast of my car's resale value?

No. These are dealer asking prices for different vehicles in a dated snapshot. They do not measure the value lost by one car over time, original MSRP depreciation, or final transaction prices.

How does mileage affect Lincoln LS asking prices?

Open a model year to see its available odometer groups, asking prices and listing counts. Mileage is the distance recorded on the odometer. Price differences also reflect condition, trim and equipment; sparse groups are labelled separately.

Where these numbers come from

Compiled by VinAssessment from dealer listing data. Prices shown are asking prices, not completed transactions.

Market & currency
United States · USD · all available trims
Data snapshot
September 3, 2026 · saved qualifying snapshot
Typical price
Median asking price per model year, or the average when the median is unavailable. The price basis is labelled on each row.
Price range
25th–75th percentile: the middle half of the listing sample, not a confidence interval. Missing ranges are not estimated.
Coverage
3 qualifying model years with at least 10 listings each. Headline price-gap calculations require at least 25 listings per year. Gaps in data do not establish a generation change.
Mileage groups
Only positive, usable odometer readings. Groups with fewer than 5 listings are observations, not dependable market estimates. Reported odometer readings do not verify actual lifetime mileage.
What is not measured
Original MSRP loss, future resale value, or a guaranteed price for an individual VIN.
