Lincoln dealers will get up to $1,000 per MKT and MKS sold in February and March, $500 for certain lease or finance contracts on those models, plus a one-time cash payment, Matt VanDyke, global director of Lincoln, told dealers in a closed-circuit telecast Feb. 1. The cash aims to compensate dealers who have been hurt financially by the delayed launch of the 2013 MKZ sedan, which was to have arrived in dealerships in December but is only trickling in now. "Clearly the changeover at the plant has not gone as smoothly as we had planned," Van Dyke said in the broadcast. "That being said, Lincoln's No. 1 priority is to deliver world-class craftsmanship and quality. We get the chance to relaunch the Lincoln brand once, and we have to get it right."
