Hey Golfer, those finance guys are the true " used car salesman". Fast talking, never look you in the eye, shifting while they talk. I didn't buy the EW - and my wife wanted to - because I couldn't trust a guy with such a weak presentation.I just figured I was in for a bait and switch deal.
We all know that the finance manager's office is where the dealership really makes the money. After I declined the extended warranties, the guy didn't even bother wasting his breath on trying to up-sell the detailing packages. I'm thinking that there is a lot of "fine print" in those extended warranties such that they don't want people to see them until AFTER they've actually paid for them.
We didn't bite on the EW when we bought our Lexus and I'm glad we didn't. It would have been a total waste of money. The jury is still out on the MKC, but I figured if Lincoln is trying to re-build its brand, they
know that they need to deliver a quality product. I think Lincoln's quick response in the repositioning of the engine start button shows how "desperate" they are.
I know, from reading this forum, that there are still some "bugs" to be worked out - fob/car battery, Sirius, etc. that have been huge irritants/inconveniences for several people, including us as we too have noticed minor problems with our Sirius; but if the engine, transmission, and these days I guess you have to add electrical, prove to be reliable, I'll be happy. I've been looking to replace my RX300 for over two years and found nothing I wanted until I saw the MKC. She's quiet, comfortable, and a smooth ride to say nothing about the fact that she's a beauty inside and out..... and the price tag wasn't too bad either. Now if in the years to come I can keep her in my garage instead of my mechanic's, I'll be happy.
