Can someone please update me on the latest and greatest Incentives, Lease Rate and Residual Values for a 36/39 month 10,500 mile per lease for the 2009 Lincoln MKZ for registration in FLA. Trying to get this signed for my mother this week or next. (She's waited to the last minute and has limited her choice of color to Red...) Thank you!
Lincoln's bread and butter volume car is MKZ. And it is really funny how Ford does not care about MKZ. There are no LM dealerships left in SF bay area. And most of Ford dealerships have only couple of MKZ, what kind of volume car it is if there is no cars in dealership. San Leandro Ford has only one MKZ, Fremont Ford has three and two of them sit there ... Read More
I finally went to Fremont Ford-Lincoln-Mercury-Mazda to test drive MKZ to validate $50 Master card offer I got at SF autoshow. And it was kind of bizzare experience. There is no separate Lincoln-Mercury showroom at Fremont Ford or anything reminding LM in this dealership - after all it always was and is Ford-Mazda dealership. There are though several Lincoln cars, including MKZ, in Ford showroom mixed with other Fords. Of course ... Read More
Gimmick or not but MKZs are going to be sold at discount because it is not what truly luxury buyers expect. There is already $2000 cash back in CA. I checked - Acura TSX and Audi A4 do not have any discounts. Lincoln basically became a blue collar luxury brands. That means that buyer do not care much about service, amenities or prestige. They just want more comfortable and nicer trimmed ... Read More
Have you checked out Lincoln's website? You can track the color/option combo down there. What's your zip and color/option combo? I can probably tell you who has it. John
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, ... Read More
I sure can, John. Ford Credit's current base lease rate and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2009 Lincoln MKZ 2WD with 10,500 miles per year are 0.75% and 47%, respectively. The numbers for an otherwise identical 39 month lease are 1.0% and 45%. I believe that Ford is currently providing a $1,000 cash incentive on leases of the '09 MKZ right now. It is also waiving the ... Read More
Hi timmboj. This car's lease program varies by term and mileage allowance. You never mentioned what either of these variables are, so for now I will assume that you are interested in a 36 month lease with 15,000 miles per year. Let me know if you want something different. According to the latest information that I have seen, Ford Credit's current base lease rate and residual value for a 36 month ... Read More
No problem, sammys. Lincoln's new July base lease rate and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2009 MKZ AWD with 10,000 miles per year are 1.5% and 42%, respectively. When negotiating your lease on this car, make sure to take advantage of the $1,400 bonus cash that is currently available on it. Car_man Host Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum
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 ... Read More
akirby, thanks for the response to my post. I don't quite understand it though. You said to "get my facts straight." Exactly which facts were not straight? I said you can no longer get the Nav with a 6 CD changer - THAT'S A FACT. You consider the MP3/jukebox thing to be better - that is nothing more than your opinion. All that only works if one has the equipment, knowhow, ... Read More
Here's the information that you're looking for, jweissi2. Ford Credit's current base lease rate and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2009 Lincoln MKZ 2WD with 10,500 miles per year are 0.25% and 45%, respectively. The numbers for an otherwise identical 39 month lease are 0.25% and 43%. Car_man Host Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum
First, I'm a bit surprised that there has been no discussion here of the newly revealed 2010 MKZ at the LA Auto Show last week. It looks much better than the current model IMO, a sporty more aggressive look. The interior is also a whole lot better. I'm very much interested in buying one when they are available next March. However it appears that prices have not yet been released to ... Read More
Because they wanted to get the redesigned models out as soon as possible. They were originally scheduled to debut this fall as the 2009 models but the program got pushed back to summer 2009, then pulled up to January. It's simply a timing issue.
Why would they have such a short stay for a 2009 model?
You would purchase the 2009 because it will offer stability control, and be a much better deal than the 2010. The differences will be superficial anyway...an allegedly better interior and the new split grill.
What is up with 2010 models in January? Why would anyone purchase a 2009 besides price. Sounds like the 2010 would be the one to get.
More like wild guesses - there is nothing to really suggest that's a hybrid. It's possible for the 2010 model that goes on sale in January but nothing official or unofficial from Ford yet.
Are we to believe this or is it just smoke and mirrors? http://jalopnik.com/392654/2009-lincoln-mkz-hybrid
The 2009 goes into production next month for a 6 month run. The 2010 models get the refresh and will be on sale in January 2009. The 2009 models will get stability control but that's about it other than color changes. The 2010 model is supposed to get a new grille and interior very similar to the MKS.
Here's a link to a review of the MKZ. Not a bad looking car. I'll be curious to see what they do with the 2009. http://www.instantriverside.com/instant-wheels.php?id=4790
The MKZ was never meant to be a car that inspires "passion." It was stop gap only. The LS was the last time Lincoln has tried to leapfrog over the pack. The MKS should be a better effort, but the time it has taken to bring it to market is shameful, especially since there has been nothing else sedan-wise in the pipeline--until the very recent decision to get a RWD sedan ...

Thanks to fomocona for responding to my post and to calidd for the positive input. So, Ford listens but, do they respond? Case in point - the hood prop rod and lack of console rear vents have received numerous complaints. These are easily corrected, however, 3 yrs on now and still nothing has been done. Anyway, I thought I would add to the growing list of tweaks: Taller tires - all ... Read More
I agree with all the items on Tiger16's wish list. I really like this car (actually love some aspects of it) and feel more connection with it than I did with my Lexus ES 300 BUT...I would like to see (1) better rear visibility; (2) better seat support (in the buttocks area, if I have to be specific) and better "finish" (e.g., carpeting looks cheap not high-thread count like Lexus; back ... Read More
That's fine, you don't want it or need it. But that has nothing to do with the fact that Lincoln does not even offer stability control as an option for those who do want it...not to mention it is basically standard equipment on may competitors. It will be here in 2009. Another game of catchup that Lincoln should not have to be playing right now.
Lots of buzz in the Lincoln area, of course the most folks were around the Mercedes, Infinity, and Toyota booths. The least traffic was at the Buick booth. I felt sorry for those guys. Anyway, the Lincolns look very nice. So did the Ford Edge, in fact color selection is key. The green Edge did not look that great but the Cooper Edge really stood out. The MKZ's looked great especially ... Read More
