Motorweek Video of the 2006 Lincoln Zephyr

[@thomasharris5151]

A lot of bang for the buck on the used market! I’m buying a mint one owner example for $2700 that’ll I’ll use for a commuter car and save the miles on the newer Lexus GX460 with most of all the modern amenities that I’ll need.

That Car Looks Like ASYM Desanne From Driver San Francisco.

[@RaymondHaley-r7r]

Quite impressive, Mazda quality Lincoln luxury , early models didn't get the best engine until 2008

[@RyanEmeryLovesCars]

I wish Lincoln would go back to this design language

[@josepheligarcia]

I own one of these cars. 2006 Lincoln Zephyr/MKZ. 3.0 Duratec V6. 220 horsepower on these. Mine has 213,000 miles on it and is still running strong.

[@MaestroTJS]

3:59 Well, not quite. There was the Mercury Zephyr, but one can understand wanting to forget that one. Canning this name after 1 model year makes it seem like Ford didn't have their act together.

[@Browningate]

0:30 - _Michigan_ made? I'm pretty sure these were all assembled in Mexico.

[@MrWolfSnack]

General Motors designed it.

[@Browningate]

@@MrWolfSnack Uhh... what?

@@MrWolfSnackFord designed these cars.

[@MrWolfSnack]

Only made for one model year, 2006. They only sold 7,677 of them before the car was axed, and then the car was slightly tweaked, rereleased, and called the MKZ. If you find one cheap, snag it and hold onto it. Future collectible.

Buying a 2006 zephyr this week with 220K miles but one owner, and his mechanic lives across the street from him. Very well kept car, I think I found a gem. Grabbing it for $2000

[@MrWolfSnack]

@@ricflair1916 Yes that's a good deal. Hard to find cars that run and drive for $2,000 anymore. Ever since COVID and the microchip shortage the price of any used car has tripled.

[@ricflair1916]

@@MrWolfSnack guys an older gentleman with 4 beautiful cars and he told me his son used the car for his college years between Virginia and South Carolina. Lots of highway miles and Virginia property tax is ridiculous. I think he’s just tired of insuring it and paying property tax and that’s why I’m getting the deal. I’m gonna baby it and maybe one day like you said, it’ll be a sought after rare vehicle.

[@josepheligarcia]

The 2006 was a one year model but the 2007-2009’s (mkz) were better optioned with the same body shape and size.

[@ludacrisjones4252]

I see a 2006 Lincoln Zephyr with 150,000 miles for $2800 but leather have tears and dashboard crack outside looking good or should I get the 2010 Ford Focus very clean Interior $2500 with 198,00 miles on it all two vehicles in good working order

[@steveespinola7652]

It was known as the Lincoln Zephyr for only one year and then it became the MKZ. What was Ford thinking when they did that???? 🤔

[@clemsonbloke]

No, it was the Zephyr in 2005 and in 2006.

[@yungfella8474]

They had plans to Lincoln-ize the upcoming Ford Edge and they were gonna call that the MKX, which would be the 1 of only 3 models at the time (the MKZ, the MKX, and the Town Car)

[@erickc.1081]

2005 the zephyr didn't exist​@@clemsonbloke

[@jeremiahlewis9296]

2006 Mercury milan

[@robertmoulton2656]

A Prime example of slapping a cool name on a piece of crap econo box and doubling the price. There is nothing special except to price. The original zephyr cars are rolling over in there graves

[@solomontillman1574]

It's actually a fairly reliable car for a cheap price.

[@yunga8305]

@@solomontillman1574 yea true ! they share the same engine and chassis as the Ford fusions which makes them extremely reliable and they’re still ahead of their time time till this day , that interior looks crazy and it’s a 2006! These things can make it up to 400-450k with just regular maintenance

[@ST-jl4ee]

These with the 3.0 engine in them are bulletproof

[@joshidlewine5012]

That is one ugly ass car interior and exterior.

[@thomasharris5151]

Not in 2006 the interior was nice for that time… and the styling was in the range of modern cars then…

[@MrWolfSnack]

No it is not. You have no concept of cars.

[@Lincolnator721]

I wish the dashboards held up in these otherwise I'd probably get one.

[@ST-jl4ee]

​@Lincolnator721 You can attempt to glue the dashboard back down using a serious glue, like 2p10gel. Mines only a lil warped now
