Very few vehicle manufacturers have a resume like Lincoln does. From making vehicles for everyday people, all the way to making limousines for the presidents Lincoln seems to do it all. Although Lincoln is making mostly SUVs now, it doesn’t mean that you can’t get anything else, especially when looking in the used market. We can break it down for you.
Key takeaways
- If you’re wanting a used Lincoln car, look for the Continental, as it went through 10 generations, giving you more of a selection.
- If you want reliability, look for the Town Car as it is one of the most reliable in its class.
- The biggest difference for the SUVs is the seating capacity, ranging from 5 to 8 passengers.
When it comes to cars that have been discontinued, the Lincoln has some sought after cars in the Continental, and Town Car, both were discontinued within the past 4 years, and 13 years respectively.
Lincoln Continental
The Lincoln Continental was the gold standard when it came to luxury cars, and after several hiatuses, it was put on the shelf again in 2020. So you can find a relatively newer one, without having to put a ton of work into it. If you want an older one though, you’re in luck, spanning across 10 generations, this car is sure to have what you’re looking for, while still remaining more luxurious than other cars in the same generation. The most recent generation of Continental, comes with E-latch, on the interior of the door you will find a button that automatically unlatches the door for you, also able to close with the same system.
Lincoln Town Car
The Lincoln Town Car was marketed as a full-size luxury sedan and its production ended in 2011. This car was meant to compete against the sedans that Chrysler and Cadillac have put out, and it did just that. The Town car is extremely reliable compared to the others in its class, while still remaining the top of the class in terms of luxury, given the age of the vehicle, it won’t be impossible to find one with low mileage. The most recent iteration of the Town Car comes with dual zone climate control as well as an analog clock, giving even the most mundane part of the car a sense of style.
Lincoln SUVs
When it comes to SUVs, there’s some models still in production for you to pick from, as well as older discontinued ones.
For the discontinued models, you can look for the MKX, MKC, and MKT. Each was discontinued, and subsequently replaced by the current production models such as the Navigator, Aviator, Nautilus, and the Corsair.
Lincoln Aviator
The Aviator had a first gen that lasted a couple of years from 2003-2005, it was made to be a mid-size luxury vehicle, and it excelled in that role. If you’re wanting an older Aviator, you can look for up to 6 passenger seating with top-of-the-line interior technology, and exterior style, this vehicle was sure to turn heads.
Lincoln Navigator
The Navigator has been around since 1998, remaining a constant on the Lincoln lineup. Billed as a full-size luxury SUV, this vehicle will seat up to 8 passengers, making this vehicle perfect for those who want to take the entire family on a trip with plenty of room to spare. When you have that many people in the vehicle, safety is important and the 2016 trim receives 5 stars all around the body of the vehicle, making sure that you and your passengers always get to your destination safely.
Lincoln Nautilus
The Nautilus is the newest model to the lineup, and takes the place of the MKX. The Nautilus adopts the styling of the Continental, almost making it a larger version of it. If you were in love with the Continental, but it was too small for your needs, then the Nautilus is what you want. It is a mid-size SUV with 5 seats. The newer Nautilus comes with a hybrid powertrain available on the most recent models that has better mileage than the standard gas powertrain.
Lincoln Corsair
In 2020, the Corsair arrived to replace the MKC. That year, this compact luxury crossover became Lincoln’s bestseller. Today, the used Corsair continues to appeal to buyers with its affordable price, upscale standard features, and smooth, powerful performance.
