Buying a Lincoln from a dealer or an owner
Comparing the same model year on both sides — 16 years of listings, 1,694 from dealers and 931 private — a forecourt Lincoln asks 24% more than one sold privately, 1.24× at the median. That premium buys reconditioning, a warranty in some states and paperwork someone else handles; whether it is worth it depends on how much of that you would rather do yourself.
Drawn within each model year on purpose — a flat comparison would put the Lincoln dealer premium far higher, but only because forecourt stock is younger, not because the markup is bigger.

How we count
All Lincoln figures on this page come from 3,892 live Lincoln listings — asking prices, not sale prices. Sellers ask more than they get, so treat these as the top of the range, not the bottom.
Percentages here are never plain averages: each listing is first turned into its ratio against the median for its own model year, and those ratios are averaged instead. Without that step the numbers lie confidently — average every Lincoln listing by seller and the dealer premium looks far bigger than the honest 24% above, purely because forecourt stock is younger. Slices too thin to survive the test are dropped rather than dressed up with an error bar, which on Lincoln leaves 15 models standing out of the 17 tracked. The full method, with the traps it avoids →
