Lincoln MKZ

The Lincoln MKZ began as the Zephyr in 2006 before being renamed for the 2007 model year. This mid-size luxury sedan, based on the Ford Fusion platform, ran for two generations until its discontinuation in 2020. The first generation offered a 3.5L V6, while the second generation (2013-2020) introduced a wider range of powertrains, including a fuel-efficient hybrid, a turbo 4-cylinder, and a potent 400-hp 3.0L twin-turbo V6.

The MKZ isn't a traditional collector car, but specific versions have found a niche following. The most desirable models are the later AWD variants equipped with the 3.0T V6, which offer surprising performance in an understated package. Top-tier Black Label trims from 2017-2020 also stand out, featuring exclusive interior themes and high-quality materials that previewed Lincoln's future design direction.

The market for the MKZ is still in depreciation, making it an affordable used car rather than a collectible investment. With an average sale price under $7,000 across 13 recorded transactions, the market is primarily composed of older, higher-mileage examples. The top of the market represents late-model, low-mileage cars with the most desirable engine and trim packages.

Prices range from approximately $1,500 for early models to $19,500 for late-model, well-equipped variants.
