This vehicle might not have any problems like other 2017 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid have had . Or the problems could have been fixed . Speaking for myself I would never buy a used Hybrid or AWD vehicle especially at todays prices .

Make sure all the recall work has been done. PCM reprogramming, steering wheel bolt, electronics package, rear view mirror. All pretty minor stuff as long as it has been taken care of. Overall looks pretty good. Lots of gizmos and gadgets, so best to just accept there’s going to be problems crop up with those from time to time. There appears to be one diagnostic code, P0071, seems to be minor problem, but good idea verify your car isn’t showing that code in the PCM’s memory.
