SSJensen Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 I had a 2014 MKZ. and Loved the heck out of it. I got rid of it and opted for a Yukon because I was WFH. I now drive a LOT for my job and want to get another MKZ. My husband is worried about anything with high miles as a new hybrid battery pack is about $7000. Is there anything I should look for to be a red flag when shopping for another one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimflutes Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 SSJensen , My research shows that it is worth it to replace the battery pack ( they may last 150,000 miles). I seen figures at about $6,000 incl labor and parts , I suggest calling your nearest Lincoln dealer and get a price from them , I am on my third MKZh ( 2013,16,18 ) , never had a problem with any of them , I would go for a select model because it has a lot of upgraded features and still cost effective , for example select has 18 inch tires instead of 19 inch which cost more but does nothing for drive comfort . Good luck , Jim SSJensen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSJensen Posted March 8, 2023 Author Share Posted March 8, 2023 Jim, thank you! That's a good idea. What's the most amount of miles you've had on any of yours? The one I had was a base model, but it was enough bling for me ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimflutes Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 55,000 miles , So you are talking the hybrid base model the next model up is the select and then reserved . Just checking some 2018 models , they go from $19,000 to $33,000 depending on what shape and mileage the car is in . I saw real nice ones for $24,000 with 55K miles on cars.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimflutes Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Oh another suggestion would be a 2017 year up because the radio ,heating etc. and information adjustments were much better then the 2013-2016 years . Jim bbf2530 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
