elijahbird7 Posted January 27, 2021 Report Share Posted January 27, 2021 I had a 2014 MKX. It only went in for 2 oil changes. Then a 2016 MKX that was at the service department so many times I hardly remember now, but the service manager at my Lincoln only dealer is great. I now have my 2019 Nautilus. Only thing it was in the service department for was the transmission software update, which worked perfectly and nothing else has ever gone wrong. So, I will just keep this one for a few more years.

My 2016 MKX was only in for oil changes as well as a radio issue . My 2019 has only been in for oil changes. This is as far as I am concerned the best car line that Ford/ Lincoln has done. As much as I really do want to get a 2021 I may keep my 2019 one more year. As I would generally have over 40k on it by now. Thanks to COVID I only have 22K. Will see in the next few weeks what I do when my dealer calls me with the incentives for spring selling season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elijahbird7 Posted January 28, 2021 Report Share Posted January 28, 2021 I only have 5,500 miles on it now. I don't drive it much in the summer because of the 7 other cars, but they are all put away in October and stored until March or April, and the Nautilus is the only driver while the others are stored.

Bravo27 Posted February 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 It appears that the "Build" option for 2021 Nautilus(MKX) is up and running. Have not seen any 2021 in my area to physically look at. Looks like this model will have a short life as BEV will take it's place soon.

Bravo27 Posted February 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 2024 is good news. I have looked at allot of 2 row types and Nautilus (MKX) with 2.7L can't be beat for size, quality and $$. The 3 row 2022 MDX is close in quality but to include all the bells and whistles that Nautilus has, it is 5K more in price and 9" longer.

Cosmos36 Posted February 12, 2021 Report Share Posted February 12, 2021 I'm very disappointed that the superb 2.7 V6 turbo isn't available in the Nautilus base model anymore ( e.g. as in my Select model)...a deal-breaker for me since I'm not interested in all the expensive additional features of the other trim levels. Over several years my experiences with busy-bee four cylinder engines has not been satisfying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmos36 Posted February 12, 2021 Report Share Posted February 12, 2021 With all the advantages offered by V6 configurations, especially smoothness/balance/torque, I would choose an inline 6 over a V6 on any occasion. The advent of twin turbos has diminished one of the inline issues, i.e. long induction plumbing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn’t get any smoother or torquier than my 3.5L Ecoboost V6. It does take more engineering to match the I6 balance though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOTMY911 Posted March 15, 2021 Report Share Posted March 15, 2021 They really want to get rid of the 2020's. The delivery credit on a Reserve "all options in" is 11%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmos36 Posted March 16, 2021 Report Share Posted March 16, 2021 Are such deals CDN only, factory sponsored, dealer sponsored, or ?? It appears that the only deals locally (US...Pacific northwest) are the usual 5%+ under MSRP to negotiating buyers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOTMY911 Posted March 16, 2021 Report Share Posted March 16, 2021 Look-like it, on the Build and Price. Remember back in 2016 some of the MY2016 came out without Sync 3. So I'm guessing not too many people would not wait for the 2022 to get the Sync 4. As you know, I went for a X3 M40i. Not withstanding the anemic 2.7 (after you drove a 3 l twin turbo - 365 lf-ft / 382 hp) I could come back to the fold but the lack of HUD is a show stopper.

There can also be unadvertised dealer cash in some cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bravo27 Posted March 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2021 Keeping track of Nautilus competitors and as you all have said, this goes throughout the industry. I probably should start looking at what's coming in the 2022 Nautilus (6 months) like maybe HUD will show up as an option. Acura MDX made a smart move to eliminate 2021 model year and call it 2022 model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzz12 Posted March 18, 2021 Report Share Posted March 18, 2021 Well, took the plunge yesterday and ordered 2021 Nautilus with the 2.7 (must have for me). Disappointed in the Flight Blue, almost black even in the sun. Went with the Burgundy Velvet with ebony/roast interior, loved the Ocean Blue but not a Nautilus color. The clock is ticking we will see how long it takes to get here. Dealer said a minimum of 2 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
