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 radiator cost?
Asking prices for a used Lincoln MKZ radiator 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 53% premium over grade-C stock, with grade-A medians at $145.
Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, 2.0L, VIN 9 (8th digit, turbo), lists at a $75 median, while 3.0L (turbo) commands $134, a 79% gap inside the same part category. Confirm which variant your VIN requires before comparing quotes.
Model year matters too: 2016 units carry the lowest median at $75, while 2018 tops the table at $161. Parts from 2013–2019 are interchangeable, so if the 2016 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 7 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Lincoln MKZ sits 63% below the Mercedes GLE Class ($300), 45% below the Mercedes S Class ($200), and 29% below the Ford Explorer ($155) for the same part. The “similar vehicles” cards below open each comparison guide.
Buying a used radiator: what to check
- Inspect for bent fins, crusted seams, and dried coolant trails, all signs of leaks.
- Confirm automatic vs manual transmission versions; auto radiators include cooler lines.
- Plastic end tanks age badly. Favor low-mileage donors.
- Pressure-tested units are worth the premium; ask.
