Hi all,
I finally found the TSB and brought my car into the dealership with the TSB. It's finally fixed! What a difference. Now it truly drives like a Lincoln should. Now if they could only figure out what's wrong with the trans...

Kimputer,
 
Would you be so kind as to post the TSB # just in case anyone else is in need. Also, just curious as to what is going on with your trans?

I purchased a 2006 Zephyr on August 1, 2006. It has been flawless. Regular service with semi-synthetic oil and a change of plugs 95,000. Car has over 115,000 miles now. Waiting for the 2010's. Hope they will be as reliable

Glad to see your post. I too drive a lot of miles - 134,000 on an 06 Avalon - & I'm looking forward to taking a close look at the 10 MKZ. The Avalon has been dead reliable; 0 expense other than routine maintenance; but I believe the Ford product will be a better driving car.
Can you tell me what kind of mileage the MKZ has been giving you?

I have a 2008 FWD MKZ. With city driving the onboard computer tells me 23.4mpg. My city driving is a mix of some interstate and city. On all interstate trips I'm getting around 28mpg.

In some cases, TSB 09-7-4 supersedes TSB 08-12-5.
I was told that I needed repairs from TSB 09-7-4.

I'm curious if 2010 MLKs have arrived yet to your local dealer and anyone bought one yet and how much did you pay?

2009 MKZ offered "Used" with 37 miles - advice please. by jwbooth

I went into a Lincoln Mercury dealer yesterday, and they showed me a car which they had sold to a business for a promotional drawing the business was holding.
The person who won the drawing took cash instead of the car, so it is technically a used car since it was owned but not driven by the drawing winner.
It's a 2009 Lincoln MKZ, 3,5L V6 Duratec Engine, 6 Speed Auto Trans.
MSRP 37,790. They will sell it for 29,800 including a 1 yr vehicle maintenance package, or without the maintenance package for 28,700. It has about 37 miles or less on it.
 
Negatives are:
Low headroom. I'm 6' tall, just about all cars with sun/moon roofs give me about 1" of space or less above my head. The only one I found with a little more room is the Honda Accord. So I can get what I guess is a great price, and deal with the annoyance of the roof brushing my hair.
 
The other negative is that I planned on black or at least dark upholstery, and this is white or off-white leather.
I know that it'll take me a few days only to spill coffee on it, or drop food on it, etc.
So I can pretend that I'll stop eating/drinking in the car, or deal with the fact that the clean upholstery for the driver's seat may end up stained very quickly.
 
I just saw it late last night. Took it for a very short test drive on local roads, as I was mostly absorbing the situation.
I'm going to have to decide very quickly - like today - or it'll probably be sold to someone else.
 
Haven't owned a new car in my life, so would appreciate your responses to the price and my comments. Thanks.

no matter how 'good' the deal, this is not the car for you, too small.
$1200 for a 1 year maintenance package?
i have a fusion, close relative. over 15k, i would have paid about $175 for total maintenance. sine i get free oil changes, i paid about $100.
