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

| 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. | |

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

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.

I finally am getting closer to buying a car. It is between an 2009 Acura TL Tech and a 2010 Lincoln MKZ. I requested internet quotes from several of the local Detroit Acura dealers and only one from a local Lincoln dealer for an ultimate pkg MKZ. I received good honest out the door quotes from the Acura dealers via internet. The Lincoln dealer (Hines Park) gave me an awesome price, so I went in yesterday with my check book. Amazingly enough, they would not even consider selling me the car for that price. Here I am a person in Detroit, that would consider changing brands from my super dependable Acura TL to a Lincoln, who doesn't work for an auto company, can afford the car, got completed jacked around! I am trying to be a good citizen and buy American, but come on! Why would they give me a price that isn't real?I just asked for an internet price. They don't know me from adam and why would they make assumptions without asking? I will try one more Lincoln dealer and then just go buy the Acura. Can anyone tell me why it is so hard to do a simple transaction? I am more than willing to go out of state to get a decent deal. I did ask for an internet price from a TX Lincoln dealer and had good honest communication. Of course, since I didn't go to the dealer with my checkbook, maybe that is not true. I will post again if I go to the Acura dealer Monday night with my checkbook and they don't honor their out the door price either.

| Just purchased a used 06 MKZ with 32 thousand miles, Silver frost, Nav system, Moon roof, Memory and heated seats, ETC. Purchased through a Ford dealer $18,800 out the door. Still has a 6 month factor warranty. This was a needed FAST purchase, as our 03 Buick was totaled due to another driver turning in front of us at an intersection. Low speed crash, but damaged to the crumple zone, and to expensive to repair, thus the loss. This is the wifes car, she liked the looks and color of the MKZ, thus in 2 days after being informed of the Buicks demise, she is now driving the MKZ. Still trying to figure out all of the controls and features. | |
