Why Choose a Used Lincoln SUV?
Lincoln vehicles are engineered for long-term luxury. Here’s why buying used is a savvy move.
Depreciation Advantage
New cars depreciate quickly in the first few years. Buying used lets someone else absorb that initial drop while you enjoy more car for your money.
Premium Features at a Lower Price
Get features like leather seating, adaptive cruise control, panoramic roofs, and Revel® audio for thousands less.
Long-Lasting Luxury
Lincolns are built with durability and high-quality materials, meaning a 3- to 5-year-old model can still feel new.

What to Check When Buying a Used Lincoln
Whether you’re leaning toward a Lincoln Certified Pre-Owned model or a high-quality used Lincoln SUV, keeping these points in mind can help ensure you drive off in a vehicle that fits your needs and avoids future surprises.
Here are a few important things to keep in mind as you compare vehicles:
Service Records
A used Lincoln with documented, routine maintenance (especially at a Lincoln dealership) is always a smart choice. It shows the vehicle has been properly cared for and may help prevent future issues.
Mileage vs. Model Year
Don’t just shop by year. A 3-year-old Lincoln with low mileage and a clean history might be a better investment than a newer one that’s been driven hard.
Features & Trim Level
Lincoln vehicles are known for their premium comfort and advanced tech, but features vary by trim. Make sure you’re getting the amenities you value most, like a panoramic sunroof, premium audio system, or adaptive cruise control.
Certified vs. Non-Certified
While regular used Lincolns may cost less upfront, they don’t include the warranty, inspection, or perks that come with a Lincoln Certified Pre-Owned. CPO vehicles have been thoroughly vetted and reconditioned, often qualifying for better financing and extended coverage, making them a lower-risk long-term buy.
