Subaru was approaching the 100K mark, no problems but the wife drove it to work so we need reliability. Went looking, drove the Honda CRVs and HRV and not bad for the price, and as a side note when did vehicles get so expensive? We had not really looked at vehicles for 10 years so sticker shock to say the least. Then we went to Toyota and drove the RAV4, again not a bad little SUV. After that test drive I noticed another SUV on the lot, a Lincoln MKC Reserve. I made the mistake of driving it and told the wife "I want this vehicle". It was solid, 2.3 Ecoboost Turbo and just about every accessory you can imagine. I made the sales guy an offer, he went to his manager (SOP), came back and said they could not do that and quoted me a price. We walked out and the game of chicken ensued. Over the next few days the wife kept saying "don't you thing you should call", but being an ex purchasing agent I held out until he emailed me one Saturday during a blizzard. I was not doing anything and he probably was not too busy so we negotiated by email. Long story short I bought a Lincoln from the comfort of my easy chair. Nice little SUV and power to spare, always wanted an Ecoboost but thought it would be in an F150.
