Incredible car even in 2023

I just purchased this car in year 2023 with only 70,000 KM’s on it and at 12 years old the car is still incredible. Amazing interior and the most comfortable seating you will ever sit in. The technology still suits my needs and Bluetooth phone and music works great. There is even ambient lighting settings for the car with different Colours to choose from. Very powerful V6 Eco boost engine. As others have said this feels like a high end SUV when inside. If you have a chance to buy one of these cars in good condition you definitely should.

DESIGN FLAW SHAME ON Lincoln

Internal water pump in the motor leaks water into oil. MAJOR DESIGN FLAW. So make sure you know how much it costs to replace the water pump.
