Frequently asked questions
How much is a 2018 Lincoln Mkz worth?
A 2018 Lincoln Mkz has a median retail value of $14,242, with most appraised between $12,538 and $16,604. At Copart and IAAI salvage auctions the same vehicles sold for a median of $2,750 across 29 recent sales — the middle 50% between $1,525 and $3,600.
Why is the 2018 Lincoln Mkz so cheap at auction?
Because auction lots are not retail cars. Most carry collision or flood damage, a salvage or rebuilt title, or are dealer-only liquidations sold as-is with no warranty. For the 2018 Lincoln Mkz that gap runs about 5.2× — $14,242 retail against a $2,750 auction median. The spread is the repair bill, the title brand, and the risk.
How accurate is this 2018 Lincoln Mkz value estimate?
Prices reflect live Copart and IAAI sale data from the last 180 days. They are most useful for: gauging salvage rebuild margins, comparing private-party asking prices to the auction floor, and spotting overpriced dealer listings. For a clean-title retail estimate use the depreciation calculator.
