Where the Lincoln MKZ engine is listed
We found priced Lincoln MKZ engine listings at 123 salvage yards across 13 states. Illinois supplies the most, with 317 listings (47% of the total) from 17 yards. Location matters: yards in Illinois ask a median $800, while Texas yards ask $1,788, 124% more for the same part. Shipping usually costs less than that gap for smaller parts, so it can pay to buy out of state.

Market analysis
How much does a used Lincoln MKZ engine cost?
Asking prices for a used Lincoln MKZ engine are unusually spread out: the top listing asks more than ten times what the cheapest does, so which unit you pick matters more than the median. Condition matters: grade-A units (lowest mileage, best condition) carry roughly a 124% premium over grade-C stock, with grade-A medians at $1,570.
Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, gasoline, 2.0L, VIN U (8th digit, hybrid), lists at a $323 median, while gasoline, 2.0L, VIN 9 (8th digit, turbo) commands $2,274, a 604% gap inside the same part category. Confirm which variant your VIN requires before comparing quotes.
Model year matters too: 2015 units carry the lowest median at $750, while 2019 tops the table at $2,205. Parts from 2013–2019 are interchangeable, so if the 2015 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 7 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Lincoln MKZ sits 38% below the Hyundai Elantra ($2,475), 93% above the Honda Civic ($792), and 28% below the Toyota RAV4 ($2,137) for the same part. The “similar vehicles” cards below open each comparison guide.
Buying a used engine: what to check
- Ask for a compression or leak-down test result. Reputable yards test engines before sale.
- Under 100K miles is the sweet spot for a used engine; insist on documented donor mileage.
- Confirm what's included: manifolds, sensors, and accessories vary by yard and change the real price.
- Match the engine code exactly. The same model year can ship with multiple displacements.
- Budget for new gaskets, seals, and fluids on installation; they're cheap insurance on a used engine.
