Used 2023 Lincoln Navigator for SaleNationwide

How much does the 2023 Lincoln Navigator cost?

Prices have softened 13.85% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 1,300 listings available, which gives you a solid pool to compare prices and equipment.

Is the 2023 Lincoln Navigator a good car?

Yes — the 2023 Lincoln Navigator earns a 5/5 user rating and a 7.67/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Technology at 9/10.

The Navigator’s appeal comes from its truck-style platform, which supports strong towing and hauling capability, along with a spacious third row and upscale family-friendly packaging. It also brings a twin-turbo V6, but the trade-offs include poor ride quality in Normal mode and basic hands-free driving tech.

30.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals, so you have some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2023 Lincoln Navigator reliable?

Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The Navigator’s overall package points to a durable, capability-first luxury SUV with a strong engine, substantial towing ability, and a roomy cabin. Its performance notes also emphasize that the twin-turbo V6 is the only engine offered, and the model’s cost-effectiveness commentary frames it as a vehicle built for style, space, and utility rather than bargain ownership.

The first scheduled maintenance visit is on the house.

For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is that a large luxury SUV can be expensive to fuel, maintain, and repair.

What should I look for when buying a used 2023 Lincoln Navigator?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 85.4% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the vehicle history report carefully and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially on a large luxury SUV with complex electronics and available driver-assistance tech. Focus on overall condition, tire wear, brake feel, and whether the cabin equipment works as intended.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The cabin is upscale and uses quality materials, but some chrome plastic on the switchgear can fall short of the luxury feel you expect.
• Powertrain: The Navigator uses a twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 with 440 horsepower and 510 pound-feet of torque, paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission and 4WD.
• Safety package: Standard Lincoln Co-Pilot360 2.0 and available Lincoln Co-Pilot360 2.0 Drive packages add Evasive Steering Assist, Intersection Assist, and BlueCruise, but BlueCruise lacks lane-change assist.
• Infotainment: You get a 13.2-inch touchscreen, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and over-the-air-style connected services through Lincoln Connect, plus available rear-seat screens.
• Fuel efficiency: The test vehicle was rated at 18 mpg in combined driving, and the test loop returned 15.6 mpg.

Which 2023 Lincoln Navigator trim should I buy?

The 2023 Lincoln Navigator is offered in 3 trim levels: Standard, Reserve, and Black Label.

Here's the short version:

• Standard: This is the entry point, and it gives you the Navigator’s core size, capability, and luxury presence without stepping up to the more richly equipped trims.
• Reserve: This is the best-value trim because it adds a more upscale cabin experience and the equipment used on the test vehicle, including the Reserve I package and available appearance upgrades.
• Black Label: This is the top-tier choice if you want the most exclusive presentation and are willing to pay for it.

The standard Lincoln Co-Pilot360 2.0 safety suite is complemented by the available Co-Pilot360 2.0 Drive package, so check whether a used example has the driver-assistance equipment you want.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2023 Lincoln Navigator?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully and still find worthwhile listings.

• Deal availability: 30.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,300 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 13.85% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 85.4% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $55,789, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2023 Lincoln Navigator's resale value?

The current average of $55,789 sits slightly below last year's $64,761.

That drop suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you buy at a more favorable point in the cycle. For a future seller, that also means resale value may depend heavily on condition, mileage, and equipment because the model sits in a segment where depreciation is part of the ownership equation.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2023 Lincoln Navigator safe?

The 2023 Navigator earns a five-star side-impact protection rating and a four-star rollover resistance rating from NHTSA.

It earns an 8/10 safety score from our experts.

Lincoln Co-Pilot360 2.0 is standard, and the available Co-Pilot360 2.0 Drive package adds Evasive Steering Assist, Intersection Assist, and BlueCruise. BlueCruise is a hands-free driving assist system for mapped highways, but it struggles with curves, mixed pavement, and construction zones, and it lacks lane-change assist.

Should I buy a 2023 Lincoln Navigator or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2023 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2023 if:

• 30.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 85.4% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 13.85% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2023 model’s test-drive notes highlight strong towing capability, a spacious third row, and impressive technology.

Consider the 2022 if:

• At $48,255, the 2022 costs less than the current year's $55,789 average.
• It brings design, comfort, and technology updates that help refresh the SUV’s appeal.

The bottom line: If you want the stronger current-market value story and a broader pool of listings, the 2023 is the better starting point. If your priority is spending less up front, the 2022 is the smarter price-sensitive alternative, especially if you find one in excellent condition.
