The Lincoln MKS served as the brand's flagship sedan from 2009 to 2016, replacing the long-running Town Car. It's based on the Ford D3 platform, sharing its underpinnings with the Ford Taurus and Volvo S80. Power comes from either a standard 3.7L V6 or the much more desirable 3.5L twin-turbo EcoBoost V6, which produces 365 hp and comes standard with all-wheel drive.
The MKS isn't a traditional collector car, but it's gaining attention as a performance bargain. The EcoBoost model provides impressive acceleration and all-weather capability in a comfortable, understated package. It represents a specific period in Lincoln's design before the brand shifted its styling direction with the Continental.
With an average sale price around $8,000, the MKS market is firmly in the value-oriented used luxury category. The low transaction volume shows a niche, rather than broad, demand. The highest prices, approaching $21,000, are commanded by low-mileage, late-model examples equipped with the EcoBoost engine.
Buying Tips
- The 3.5L EcoBoost V6 is generally reliable, but watch for signs of timing chain stretch or carbon buildup on intake valves, especially on higher-mileage cars.
- Check the all-wheel drive system's Power Transfer Unit (PTU) for leaks or whining sounds. The 'lifetime' fluid benefits from being changed every 30,000-50,000 miles.
- Test the MyLincoln Touch infotainment system thoroughly on 2013-2016 models, as it can be slow to respond and prone to freezing.
- Inspect the trunk for water intrusion. Clogged sunroof drains or failing taillight seals can allow water to pool in the spare tire well.
Based on recent sales, prices range from $2,500 for early models to nearly $21,000 for top-spec variants.
