Upgrading from a Navigator to a newer model

With the revival of the Continental from 2017-2020, many collectors are now looking to donate their earlier models. This provides an opportunity for charity while passing on a piece of Lincoln's luxury legacy.

MKZ as a middle-tier family car

Families upgrading from their reliable MKZ often choose to donate. This ensures the next owner can benefit from a well-maintained, safe family vehicle.

What affects donation value

The value of donating a Lincoln can be influenced by various factors, including its age, model, and condition. Older models like the Town Car, particularly those from livery fleets, often have sentimental value and can yield significant deductions. The Navigator, sharing a platform with the Expedition, offers robust reliability that appeals to many donors. The Continental has revived interest among collectors, driving up its donation value. Additionally, the durable Ford powertrain, including the twin-turbo EcoBoost engine, ensures your Lincoln remains reliable even as it ages, making it a sought-after vehicle for donation.
