Hey Scotty! I'm currently car shopping and I need to know if a 2017 Lincoln MKZ Reserve is a good buy. It's from Carvana and it has 77K miles and selling for $16,590 before taxes and registration. It's had no accidents, and the service record shows great maintenance with the transmission fluid being flushed at 44k miles. Should I do it and if not, what cars do you recommend for me that are under 18k? Thank you!

No. The Ecoboost engine in those is the subject of a class action lawsuit due to design flaws.

It's from Carvana

Then you know it's overpriced.

How do you know? Carfax and similar services are not always accurate because not everything is reported to them. The thing could have been wrecked or flooded and pieced back together in someone's back yard with no one the wiser. You need a good mechanic to inspect the thing before purchase to determine its true condition.
