Lincoln Way and Other Stuff

[leftoverture]

Setup my Lincoln Way app on my phone and connected the car today. I'm still trying to figure out everything it does but at least I got started with it. 

 

I also had it back to the dealer today because they owed me a trunk lid adjustment.  My trunk lid was misaligned causing a gap in the front driver side corner. So I had to drive a loaner today. They gave me a Ford Escape, which wasn't that bad, but it sure was nice to get back in my Mkz. 

 

My trunk lid is now properly fit and I sure am starting to appreciate the Sync 3 controls. Definitely an upgrade. 

 

Oh....and you should see the ridiculous price they are asking for my old 2014. I'm guessing it's going to be sitting there a while!

For sure. They gave me a ridiculous amount for it on trade. About $2000 more than KBB trade value.

I just found our 2018 C-Max lease return on a different dealer lot in the Midwest, with 42,000 on the clock and 48.9mpg still displayed on the dash. Photos showed $20K on the windshield reduced to $19.600.  Seems pretty steep for a car most people are unfamiliar with. Shoulda bought out the lease and kept it or re-sold it.  Ford and Lincoln dealers in Chicago's north suburbs have near-empty lots.

Here's a link to my old one... 

 

2014 MKZ Reserve

 

4 or 5 months ago they would have been lucky to get $10,900 for this car. The under $20k segment is really hot right now.

So yesterday my wife and I were having lunch at our favorite German restaurant. It happens to be in the basement of a brick building. Just for the heck of it, as we prepared to leave, I opened the Lincoln Way app and used it to start the car. It worked. Pretty cool and will come in very handy this coming winter.
