Used 2023 Lincoln Aviator for Sale nearTulsa, OK

How much does the 2023 Lincoln Aviator cost?

Prices have softened 14.85% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 1,304 listings available, which gives you a solid pool of inventory to compare before you buy.

Is the 2023 Lincoln Aviator a good car?

Yes — the 2023 Lincoln Aviator earns a 5/5 user rating and a 7/10 expert rating, which points to broad appeal for shoppers who want a luxury SUV focused on comfort rather than driver engagement. The Aviator is built around Lincoln’s “Quiet Flight” approach, so you get a quiet, gliding demeanor, a refined cabin atmosphere, and a smooth ride.

The model scores 8/10 across Look and feel and Safety.

That said, the expert evaluation also calls out a few trade-offs: the electric range is unimpressive, the third row is cramped, and the technology feels outdated. Even so, the Aviator’s great handling, comfortable feel, and impressive stereo make it a strong fit if you want a relaxed, upscale three-row SUV rather than something sporty.

34.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals, so you have some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2023 Lincoln Aviator reliable?

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

The Aviator’s overall character suggests a vehicle built for comfort and calm, with a quiet cabin and a smooth, composed ride. The expert evaluation also highlights strong handling and a refined driving experience, which can help the SUV feel settled and confidence-inspiring over time.

Its plug-in hybrid setup is described as efficient in the way it manages battery use, and Lincoln says the battery can recharge in under four hours on a 240-volt Level 2 charger. The ownership experience is also framed as premium and convenient, with service and delivery perks that reinforce the brand’s upscale positioning.

For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is that the tech and third-row packaging may feel dated or limiting sooner than the rest of the SUV’s luxury experience.

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

Accident-free inventory is solid at 85.7% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the history report carefully, because a clean listing percentage does not replace a proper records review. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection that focuses on the cabin electronics, driver-assistance systems, and the condition of the hybrid hardware if you’re shopping a Grand Touring model. You’ll also want to pay close attention to third-row space and overall interior wear, since those are the areas most likely to affect day-to-day satisfaction.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Aviator’s trim structure changes the look and feel quite a bit, with the Black Label models bringing a more elaborate cabin presentation and the Grand Touring versions adding the plug-in hybrid setup. Base trims are more straightforward, while higher trims add more luxury detailing and convenience features.
• Powertrain: The standard setup uses a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 with a 10-speed automatic and either rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. The Grand Touring versions pair that V6 with a 75-kilowatt electric motor, a 13.6-kilowatt-hour battery pack, and standard AWD.
• Safety package: Lincoln uses Co-Pilot360 1.5, Co-Pilot360 1.5 Plus, and Co-Pilot360 2.0 collections of driver aids, with availability varying by trim. The fully loaded model includes automatic high-beam adaptive-pixel headlights, adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go, road-sign recognition, pedestrian detection, forward-collision warning with automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert with automatic rear braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, lane-centering assist, and evasive steering assist.
• Infotainment: The Aviator uses a 10.1-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Alexa integration, Lincoln Connect connected services, a WiFi hotspot, SiriusXM satellite radio, and navigation. It runs Sync 3 software, so you should test the interface carefully before you buy.
• Fuel efficiency: The Grand Touring plug-in hybrid is rated for 21 miles of electric driving range and 23 mpg combined in hybrid mode. In testing, it also returned 24.3 mpg over a longer evaluation drive.

Which 2023 Lincoln Aviator trim should I buy?

The 2023 Lincoln Aviator is offered in 5 trim levels: Standard, Reserve, Black Label, Grand Touring, and Black Label Grand Touring.

Here's the short version:

• Standard: This is the entry point if you want the Aviator’s core luxury feel and V6 power without moving up the price ladder. It gives you the basic Quiet Flight experience, but you’ll want to compare it carefully against higher trims if you care about richer materials or more advanced equipment.
• Reserve: This is the trim to target if you want a stronger balance of luxury and value. It builds on the standard model with more upscale content, making it the best-value choice for many shoppers who want a premium feel without going all the way to the top.
• Black Label: This trim is for you if you want the most distinctive cabin presentation and a more indulgent luxury experience. It adds the kind of visual and material upgrades that make the Aviator feel especially upscale.
• Grand Touring: Choose this if you want the plug-in hybrid powertrain and standard AWD. It adds electric driving capability and a more advanced drivetrain, but you should be comfortable with the trade-off in complexity and the model’s modest electric range.
• Black Label Grand Touring: This is the most fully featured version, combining the plug-in hybrid setup with the most luxurious trim treatment. It suits you best if you want the Aviator at its most premium and don’t mind paying for it.

Safety equipment varies by trim level, so make sure the specific vehicle you’re considering has the driver-assistance features you want.

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

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so you can shop with some leverage if you compare listings carefully.

• Deal availability: 34.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,304 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 14.85% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 85.7% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $41,419, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2023 Lincoln Aviator's resale value?

The current average of $41,419 sits slightly below last year's $48,641.

That price movement suggests the Aviator has already absorbed a meaningful amount of depreciation, which can help future resale stability if you buy at the right number. If you purchase near the current market average or below, you may have less downside left than a buyer who paid closer to the original new-car pricing.

The model’s premium positioning and strong owner satisfaction can help support demand on the used market, especially for well-kept examples with desirable equipment. Still, resale will depend heavily on condition, mileage, and whether the vehicle has the features shoppers expect in a luxury SUV.

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 Aviator safe?

The 2023 Lincoln Aviator earns a Top Safety Pick from the IIHS and a five-star overall rating from the NHTSA.

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

Lincoln equips the Aviator with Co-Pilot360 1.5, Co-Pilot360 1.5 Plus, and Co-Pilot360 2.0 driver-assistance collections, though availability and features vary by trim. On the fully loaded model, you get automatic high-beam adaptive-pixel headlights, adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go, road-sign recognition, pedestrian detection, forward-collision warning with automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert with automatic rear braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, lane-centering assist, and evasive steering assist.

One caveat is that the driver aids can feel less dependable in denser traffic and wider freeway settings, and the lane-keeping system may hug lane markings too closely in curves. You should test those systems on your own routes before buying, especially if you expect to rely on them often.

Should I buy a 2023 Lincoln Aviator 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:

• 34.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 85.7% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 14.85% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2023 model year keeps the Aviator’s comfort-first character intact, with quiet luxury, strong handling, and a refined cabin atmosphere.

The bottom line: If you want the Aviator’s comfort-focused luxury experience and you find a clean, well-priced example, the 2023 is a sensible buy. If you’re especially price-sensitive, you may want to compare nearby model years for a lower entry point, but the 2023 remains attractive because it combines a softened market with strong owner satisfaction and a solid inventory pool.
