Uniquely Used

Clean as a whistle. The color, with the interior was built for True Driver. The Power, as the engine glided me down the street.... Great vehicle!!!!!

From Fords to Lincolns

Always bought Fords (one exception). Was offered a Lincoln for the price of a Ford. Maybe not so true now but, I never looked back

Great Value if you find a Certified Used

Comfortable and great mileage. The Certified Used Lincoln is a great way to go. 6 Years and 100,000 miles of warranty.

Like the Car

I researched for more than 6 months for a used car that was a little more upscale and settled on the MKZ as my favorite. I really like the car and I am glad I bought it.

Nice car.

Picked up my new to me 13' MKZ a few weeks ago. I can't coment on reliability just yet but the car rides well, has good smooth pickup for when you need to get onto the highway. I'm surprised somewhat with the 2.0 l engine that it does so well with acceleration. Gas milage on my AWD version is anywhere from 32-35 on the highway depending on which speed you pick, 65-75. City milage suffers greatly, with me getting about 16.5 MPG during normal city driving, which has it's normal stop and go traffic.

Happy and Content

Having purchased several vehicles in the past from the same dealership, I must say I continue to be totally impressed with all of my previous purchases, and especially my 2013 MKZ. Not only is the car amazing, but doing business with my dealer has made the purchase of my car an event to look forward too! It wasn't always like that!!

Worse car I've ever bought

Stay away from this car. I bought the 3.7 top of the line every option available on this car. First in the two years I've owned it, it's valued at 1/2 of what I bought it for. I never thought it would loose that much value. It's left me twice, I've had the center console go out. The doors rattle. The truck squeaks, the turning motion lights get stuck. The microsoft entertainment system is terrible. I have to update it all the time, there is times the system completely shuts off and says it's rebooting. You can't change the A/C, the radio, navigation system or phone. It's been towed twice because it won't recognize the key and the dealership tells me it's because of interference. The interior ambient lighting will just randomly change to white. The interior chimes change from day to day for no reason. This is the worst car I've ever owned and I can't wait to get rid of it.

Most reliable car I've ever owned

I purchased my car at Southgate Lincoln and my experience there was great, the entire staff was courteous and polite, Shawn Hale and Dan Sunderman made the process very easy...trust me when I say if I ever buy another new car, South Gate in the place I'll go!!!!!!! Thank you for making my new car experience so exciting!!!!

UNIQUE

I sell for a Toyota dealer right next to lexus.I was confused for a bit and then I remembered the LA Auto Show. The Mkz was the standout for me and so i convinced my gf to look at it. She was a IS300 lover and i was a GS300 lover too but im impressed with the MKZ. i got an MKZ after i saw Lincoln trade her upside down car for an MKZ. We both own MKZ. The style,drive and luxury features for the lease payment was insane. $369 zero dn. Sorry Japan...
