Used Lincoln MKC for Sale in Raleigh, NC

The car is fun to drive, and is comfortable. However it's like putting lipstick on a pig. I have been in and out of service for the last year, and a half. Is it great I get a rental each time. Sure is. At would have been worse without it. The amount of trips I have had to the dealer planning around my family is not something I expected in owning a brand new luxury vehicle. I was in for a broken amp 4 times. Headline did not fit from the factory, it took four attempts to fix. My automatic mirrors went on the fritz, and that is common in these vehicles. I was back and forth to the dealer during rush hour which was a far drive. Then there is the rust, at around a year in my husband found it. Now my husband washes and waxes my vehicle regularly. I have never had a vehicle rust in the first year. Yes Lincoln removed the rust. So far twice at two different dealers. These are both on the front drivers doors on the bottom along the wedge. We started wondering why our vehicle rusted after a year. Then I started noticing that after a hard rain, when I would open the door water would gush out. My husband noticed he could put his thumbnail in the seam right below where the rust was. Clearly this was the cause. Lincoln however and their service departments refuse to recognize this as a problem, or rectify the issue. We found a site where the GMC Terrains and Equinox's have the same water issue, and they suggested replacing the weather seal around the frame of the door. Lincoln's response was GM's doors are engineered differently, and "the doors are doing what they are engineered to do" At this point I started doing reviews on Lincoln's Facebook page. Slowly my links are being deleted, and I found others who had the same thing happen. Lincoln is not a reputable company. Also if you look up Ford Rust, or Look up Ford Escape Rust it is all over in the same spot on the doors on the Escapes. Sounds like an engineering defect. I would caution anyone from buying any products from Ford/Lincoln. I know I won't be buying on in my lifetime.

In a nutshell, we bought this vehicle for my wife a couple months ago, so we don't have a long experience with it. But all the things listed above is what made us go with this vehicle. We were originally going to go with the new for 2014 Jeep Cherokee, but with all the problems owners were complaining about, especially with the new 9-speed transmission, I steered the wife away from it. We really linked the appearance and feel of the Limited, but I've had more than my share of problem vehicles and it was clear from the 5 for, 43 against, owner reviews that we should avoid that SUV like the plague. In the end, we feel in love with the Lincoln MKC and so far we have not regretted the purchase. It's amazingly smooth riding and quiet -- it's even better than my 2006 Mercedes E500 -- and yet very peppy. We wanted the 2.0L engine, but wound up with a loaded model which came with the 2.3L ecoboost. Interestingly enough, however, on a recent trip home from Williamsburg, VA we found we were getting 28 mph rather than the advertised 26 mph for the AWD model. What we really love about it is it's quite responsive and great on gas for a luxury SUV, but runs on regular, and I'm not talking 89, but 87 octane fuel. The dealer told is it's designed to use the regular 87 octane and to not be afraid to do so. Amazing and it uses considerably less fuel than my wife's previous vehicle, an Infinity G37 coupe, which ran on premium only.

I love my MKC.I searched for a year and drove every luxury brand small SUV. This one is the best. Solid with all of the cutting edge technology in a Small SUV. The HID headlights and interior lighting are the best I have ever seen.Love the Blind spot cross traffic feature. With the Lincoln Drive Control option(which is a must) the car drives as smooth as a large sedan like the Avalon I traded in. The engine is peppy and equal to my wife's 2012 BMW X 3. The workmanship the best I have seen on the interior and exterior.I love the styling and how it drives. Tremendous value for the money and No it is Not an Escape warmed over. This car is unique and I could not be happier with it After driving the car for 27 thousand miles I could not be happier. It is a fun car to drive. Reliable. Has all of the bells and whistles. I particularly use and like the blind side alert in the side mirror. I love the sirius radio which it works great. The size of the car is really one thing that is best for me. I like a small car to zip in a out of parking spaces . Short turning radius. but the feel and quality of a large car. this car still feels tight and new after a year and a half of driving and 27 thousand miles. The linclon drive control feature makes it have the road feel of my old Avalon which was two feet longer and heavier. This is the best car I have ever owned and I don't know why everyone doesn't want one. The only issue I have is with the navigation system. It goes haywire and sends us in circles ever now and then . Have taken it to the dealer four times and paid $150 for an update but still not comfortable with it. Still love the car and dealer . They try but I just think the system Lincoln put in this first model has bugs in it.
