new to me 2016 MKZ Reserve

My 3.5 powered Fusion Sport had the water pump let go at 159,000 miles, and filled the crankcase up with coolant and over heated, it a very short period of time. Not sure if it is fixable for reasonable or not.

 

So I went to look at an MKZ (and they had 2 MKX's that I wanted to check out as well). Not many of them around, and the 2017+ with the 3.0TT are pricy when they come up.

 

So I looked at 2013-2016 with the 2.0 (also available with the 3.7, no thanks).

 

This 2016 MKZ Reserve with the Technology Package and moon roof fit what I was looking for and price. I didn't want a moon roof because of how much head room they take, but not bad. Still warming up to the color, Guard Metallic with Cappuccino interior. 95,000 miles.

 

It is missing some things from my 2019 Edge SEL, like stop and go cruise (it has adaptive cruise, but at 12 mph it turns off) and lane centering. But it has a lot more options.

Next up is coolant and transmission fluid, cleaning up some chips and the exhaust bezels (like the Edge ST, part of the bumper).
