In 1917 Henry M. Leland, a precision engineer, founds the Lincoln Motor Company after working at Cadillac, where it produces Liberty engine parts for the U.S. military in World War I before becoming known as a maker of luxury automobiles. After Ford takes over Lincoln in 1922, Lincoln is recognized for its contributions to American luxury automobile design, especially the Lincoln Continental, and evolves into a manufacturer of SUVs.

Shoppers buying pre-owned vehicles are attracted to luxury models like Lincoln because of their ability to provide quietness and comfort while still offering luxurious features in a price range lower than comparable European models. They tend to be the most popular on the dealer lot with customers who are seeking these same desirable qualities in their vehicle.

A popular in-demand vehicle type includes high-profile nameplates such as Navigator, Aviator, Nautilus, and Corsair, all associated with luxury, smooth-riding vehicles with great interiors and driver assistance technologies.

Retailers can also promote vehicle serviceability as a part of their competitive advantages since Lincoln has a strong connection to the Ford brand, so there are usually many dealerships from which second owners of Lincoln vehicles can obtain parts and service. While the reliability image for used Lincolns varies from year model, the best way to gain customer confidence and interest in resale is through history records, service records, and dealer-installed packages such as AWD packages for all of the Lincolns which are being sold.
