Types of SUVs

If you’re in the market for a Lincoln SUV, it’s important to know what you’re looking for and what suits your lifestyle. There’s a Lincoln SUV for everyone, so let’s explore a few of the various types of SUVs.

Compact SUVs

Compact SUVs are usually a step up from a crossover and are one of the most popular SUV choices. The 2023 Lincoln Corsair is a great example of a luxury compact SUV, with the perfect blend of comfort, practicality, and opulence. The 2023 Lincoln Corsair is often a good choice for those seeking a car that is bigger than a sedan.

Mid-Size SUVs

Mid-size SUVs find the perfect balance between compact and full-size SUVs. When it comes to mid-size SUVs, Lincoln has two offerings: the 2023 Lincoln Aviator and the 2023 Lincoln Nautilus. Both offer something slightly different to better suit your needs.

The 2023 Lincoln Aviator has three rows with seating for seven to get your family and friends around town, or out of town. The equally capable 2023 Lincoln Nautilus brings you the comforts of a mid-size SUV, with ample seating for five.

Full-Size SUVs

Full-size SUVs prioritize both cargo space and passenger capacity. For a full-size SUV, the 2023 Lincoln Navigator has plenty of room for up to seven or eight passengers. Those needing space and a commanding presence usually opt for a full-size SUV.

Lincoln Car Come with a Warrant

Buying a new car is always an exciting prospect, but what happens if something goes wrong with your vehicle and it’s a costly repair? Fortunately, this is why manufacturers offer warranties on new and CPO cars that you purchase from a dealership. A Lincoln warranty will help to pay for replacement parts or covered repairs during the designated warranty period.

Manufacturer or Factory Warranty

The most prominent type of warranty is the coverage provided by the manufacturer when you buy a new Lincoln car through your North Carolina dealership. Dubbed the Lincoln New Vehicle Limited Warranty, this protection is available for any new Lincoln vehicle purchased at Lincoln of New Bern.

Types of Lincoln Warranties

Lincoln offers several different warranty policies under its umbrella factory warranty. They are as follows:

  • Bumper-to-bumper warranty: four years/50,000 miles
  • Powertrain warranty: six years/70,000 miles
  • Safety Restraint Systems: five years/60,000 miles
  • Corrosion coverage: five years/unlimited miles
  • Lifetime Roadside Assistance: unlimited for new owners; six years/70,000 miles for subsequent owners
  • Limited new-tire warranty: dependent upon mileage, for defects only
  • Limited wear and tear: one year/12,000 miles for wheel alignments and tire balancing; one year/18,000 miles for brake pad or lining replacements

Lincoln Extended Warranty Plans

For drivers who have gone past the life of their factory warranties, Lincoln offers extended plans that can be tacked on to the end of the original warranty. The new policy must be purchased before the new-car warranty expires. These are the available Lincoln extended warranties:

  • PremiumCARE: eight years/125,000 miles
  • ExtraCARE
  • BaseCARE
  • PowertrainCARE

While the PremiumCARE plan has a designated warranty period, the ExtraCARE, BaseCARE, and PowertrainCARE plans have coverage periods ranging between three and eight years/36,000 and 150,000 miles that can be selected by the driver.

What is APR on a Car

Here at Lincoln of New Bern, we offer accessible, judgement free financing support on every stage of the vehicle purchasing process. We’re here to answer your pressing financing questions, like, “what is APR on a car?” and to provide the tools and resources you need to take home the right vehicle at the right price today.

APR and Lincoln Financing Explained

When it comes to auto financing, the more you know, the better. Preparation and research can help you to find more agreeable terms, so you can focus on picking out a car you love. And APR is just one of those important financing elements to consider. Here’s a look at APR and what it means for your new car budget.

What is APR?

APR simply stands for Annual Percentage Rate. This accounts for the interest rate on the loan, as well as any pre-set fees that might be associated with the loan, and will be presented to the buyer as a percentage. Lenders are legally required to disclose the final APR before contracts are signed, to help protect buyers.

Is APR Just Another Word for Interest?

Not exactly. APR and interest are similar, but they’re not the same. Interest solely refers to the cost of borrowing money. A lender provides a certain amount of upfront capital, and you pay them back over time. For the benefit of that capital, you pay a small percentage of the loan each month.

APR accounts for interest, but other fees and costs, as well. Some lenders have built in fees, processing costs, or prepaid financing charges. The APR is a more accurate reading of your total monthly and yearly car ownership costs.

Reliability is key when buying or leasing a new vehicle, and its something you can expect with every Lincoln. But when problems do come up, your car warranty is there to save the day by covering the expenses.

Unfortunately, the factory warranty will eventually end, along with your coverage, which is why it might be a good idea for you to consider buying an extended warranty. However, many drivers are unsure whether purchasing an extended warranty on their vehicle is worthwhile. So, what are some reasons you might consider an extended warranty for your Lincoln?

You Plan on Keeping the Vehicle for a Long Time

If you’re the type of person who gets tired of a car after a couple of years, maybe purchasing an extended warranty wouldn’t make much sense for you. But if you plan on driving this car long after the 2 or 3 year period that is covered by the factory warranty, then an extended warranty is definitely something you should consider.

Maintaining and repairing a vehicle can get expensive, and as it ages you’ll be in the garage more and more frequently. So, if you want to avoid out-of-pocket costs for the long-term, the extended warranty is a great option.

Your Vehicle Drives Long Distances, Operates in Harsh Conditions, or is Heavily Used

Reflecting on how your vehicle will be used can be helpful in determining whether you should consider an extended warranty. For example, do you tow a lot of heavy equipment or drive in tough-terrain? Do you live in an area with extreme temperatures or road conditions? Do you drive far distances or live in the city where your car is more susceptible to wear and tear?

It also might be helpful to compare how often you’ve needed repairs in the past and weigh it against the cost of the extended warranty. Of course, no two vehicles are exactly alike, so this will only give you a rough estimate of the maintenance costs you can expect based on your driving habits. Also, surprises happen – so if you want guaranteed peace of mind for the long-term, then the extended warranty is your best bet.

You Want to Reduce Stress

Nothing is worse than having expensive car issues during the holidays or other financially tight times. Having an extended warranty on your vehicle can reduce the stress on your mind and wallet when problems do occur.

So, you won’t have to choose between replacing your transmission and taking that much-needed vacation you’ve been looking forward to because, with an extended warranty, you can do both! This can make a world of difference for you and your family, so consider carefully and talk through it with one of our expert staff at Lincoln of New Bern.

These days it’s not enough to have a rearview mirror and two side-view mirrors. The better you can see, the better you can avoid obstacles. Today’s camera and sensor technologies have significantly increased that capability.

Heated side view mirrors help avoid the common “frosty mirror” problem. Digital mirrors show you a more precise and expansive view of your surroundings than traditional mirrors. And if you think that parking cameras and sensors are trivial add-ons, think again.

Drive Better with Driver-Assist

The best modern safety features use machine accuracy to assist human drivers. Like visibility options, the more driver-assist features your vehicle has, the better. Driver-assist must-haves include:

  • Brake assist
  • Blind spot warning
  • Lane-keeping assist
  • Lane-departure warning
  • Forward collision warning
  • Cross-traffic alert
  • Pedestrian detection
  • Parking assist

Safe Vehicles Are Well-Maintained

The simplest way to ensure a safe driving experience is to keep your vehicle’s service and maintenance schedule up to date. A healthy engine, up-to-date software, thick brake pads, and well-treaded tires are paramount for safety regardless of your vehicle’s age. Take care of your vehicle, and it will return the favor.
