Whatever you get, stay away from Chrysler/Jeep.
Agree! My dad is looking to unload his 2012 Durango r/t because it's a money pit Ac lines went (common issue, super expensive to fix, same with caravan) Hose clamp just blew and caused engine overheat and starter fried Had issue with brake master cylinder or something related Other small issues that added up He's looking into getting a ridgeline
OUCH! I did have a rental 2014 Jeep grand Cherokee and I did not like it, that stupid 8 spd trans was annoying.

They do 0-60 in 6s, and run in the low 14s in 1/4 mile
A reflash gets you into the 13s.

151k though. It's the same chassis as the Lincoln but they are more expensive, I guess because the MKT looks are subjective lol
151km since it has the rear entertainment you want. Tons more out there with less km without that feature.
Too be honest I'd save the money and use an iPad. Way more bang for your buck. 5-6 year old cars with those screens are old school and waste of extra money to buy the vehicle with it.

this is the one i was looking at
You can get an ECU flash to disable the 3 points of failure on the motor. the EGR, the swirl valve, and the add blue crap.
I have the ECU flash on the jeep that disabled the EGR and the swirl valve, and i went one step further and deleted the DPF, so i can run real oil, not that low ash crap.

I'm 99.9% positive that yours doesn't have swirl flaps. The EU motors had them.

Before you buy, plug into a diagnostics machine and see how many codes it throws.
Rs depreciate fast for a reason.
