“2012 MKX at $7,393 — the leather-lined Edge at a fair price.”
Pros
- 3.7L V6 — proven Ford engine
- 143,775 miles with the price reflecting it
- Lincoln quiet-tuning and comfort at Ford money
Cons
- Verify the water pump — internal on the 3.7L, expensive when it fails
- Check PTU fluid if AWD — the known weak point
- 14 years old — age items (suspension, seals) need inspection
Analysis
The MKX is a leather-lined Ford Edge — same proven 3.7L V6, plus Lincoln quietness and comfort. At $7,393 with 143,775 miles, it sits fairly in the $6,500–$8,500 band. The 3.7L’s one scary item is the internal water pump: when it fails, it can take the engine with it, so verify its service history or budget for preventive replacement.
Check the PTU if it’s AWD (the Edge-platform weak point), inspect the age items, and you’ve got comfortable luxury-crossover utility for the price of a used Civic. Buy.
