Hello all...

Looks like Lincoln has 0% for up to 60 mos and conquest cash of 2000 for anyone driving a non Lincoln product (til 3/31/14). Anyone buy or lease one recently care to share what kind of deal you got on top of these current incentives?....as far as leasing it seems tough to find money factors and lease deal info outside the base stuff Lincoln markets in their ads....

I'm torn between taking advantage of any incentives now and enjoying some new wheels vs waiting til fall to see if any upgrades coming for 2015 outside the Black Label program. I figure they are going to tweak something for 3rd model year.

Thx for any info/comments, etc.

Welcome to the forum.
I haven't bought a Lincoln yet, hoping the MKZ will be the first, looking forward to the responses

welcome aboard Mondo, you wont see black label until January 2015 and only in 5 select markets. LA, Miami, NYC, Chicago and Dallas...

Honestly I'd recommend taking advantage of 0%, that type of incentive doesnt come along very often. Especially if you're comfortable locking into a longer term finance. I'm not sure if Ford is offering 96 months, but if you lock in at 0 percent over a longer term you can drop your monthly to PEANUTS. Play around with the numbers a bit, honestly I;d recommend pulling the trigger because like i said if you can stretch it out over al onger term you can load your MKZ with tons of kit that may of been out of reach before :D
i dont see much happening to the mkz in 2015.
0% for up to 60 mos, 1.9 for 72 mos. The BL stuff I counted out, saw the other post about it only being select markets...I'll prob. go see what I can do either lease or buy....but I need a good deal....I go for the loaded stuff and they are 50K plus...

I shocked myself by liking it so much at the local auto show...it honestly was not on my short list but in person, I think it is a gorgeous car, esp in sterling gray with the 19 inch wheels...so much negativity in general press about this car...wow unreal how it gets beat up. Thx guys...

Agreed man, I never EVER liked the MKZ in photos but in person the proportions are just right. some cars just dont photograph well, hides the depth or something.

0% over 60 months is not to shab at all. I'm not sure what kind of budget you're operating with but I went over to the MKZ configurator and loaded one up to the nines. These are the numbers it spit out, which are likely negotiable if you build some rapport at the dealer.

MKZ AWD 3.7L V6

Base MSRP: $39,310
Total of Options: $12,709
Destination Charges: $895
Estimated Selling Price: $52,914
Available Incentives: $0

Net Price: $52,914
Down Payment: $5,292
Net Trade-In Value: $0

Amount Financed: $47,622

Monthly Payment: $794 @ 0% over 60 months.

Those are Financed Numbers, if its a lease you're leaning towards with the same kit and down payment over 36 months you're looking at a $465 monthly

Now again, I'm not sure how much you're looking to put down or if you will be trading your current vehicle in on MKZ, but i played with the numbers a bit...

Amount Financed: $47,622

Monthly Payment: $632 @ 0% over 60 months.

With those down payment and trade in values the monthly on a 36 month lease drops to $293 per.

Hope that helps, good luck on your hunt!

i dont see much happening to the mkz in 2015.
Do you think the hype died down after these two years the new model was released in?? or could they possibly keep the momentum going?
well the mkz was recently refreshed was it not? i dont see lincoln changing it all that much next year
Just bought new 2013 with pan roof 2.0L Tuxedo Black

Awesome, congrats on picking one up. How much did you get it for out the door? Any pictures?

Little late on a reply to this, but I'll add my 2 cents anyway...

On the lease, I don't think it would benefit anyone to make any kind of Downpayment... why "prepay" on a lease? Makes no sense. If you wreck the car the Gap insurance covers the difference between the note and the value of the car... it won't cover your downpayment. The only thing a down payment does is lower you monthly payment because you've already made a one time LARGE payment. It would be more beneficial to put that "downpayment" in the bank and draw on it each month to assist you in the payments and not to put it at risk if you were to total the car.

As for the sales price, I would say it depends on the market you're in... but I just bought a fully loaded MKZ hybrid at invoice price with no conquest case or rebates. One of the easiest ways to see what your market is pricing at is to use Truecar.com. YOu can build out the car you want and get an actual quote for the selling price at a nearby truecar dealer. That is what I did and it came up to be invoice pricing. I then took the printed certificate from TrueCar.com to a non-truecar dealer that I trust nearby and asked if they could/would match the price. They did without hesitation...

bought a CPO 2011 but for any of the MKZ pre owned they were doing .9% for up to 48 months which is pretty nice

I think it will fizzle a little unless they do some heavy discounts or promotions since a lot of the recent sales were backorders or orders from people that originally had interest a year ago but couldn't buy because supply issues. I think giving a $2500 rebate until they can do some kind of refresh to get rid of the My Lincoln Touch will help people on the fence about the MKZ since most entry level premium or even luxury cars start at $30,600

What will keep Lincoln going is the MKC and updated Navigator
