Used 2023 Lincoln Aviator for Sale nearYuma, AZ

How much does the 2023 Lincoln Aviator cost?

Prices have softened 13.02% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 1,255 listings available, which suggests solid inventory availability. If you find a listing below $43,203.51, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

Is the 2023 Lincoln Aviator a good car?

Yes — 5/5 from owners and 7.0/10 from expert testing. The Aviator is built around comfort and quiet luxury rather than driving excitement, and it delivers that with a serene ride, strong handling, and a high-end cabin feel. The trade-offs are that the electric range is unimpressive, the third row is cramped, and the technology feels outdated. It suits you best if you want a refined three-row SUV experience more than a sporty one. 29.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals, which gives you 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 comfort-first design, quiet cabin, and upscale materials support the impression of a well-executed luxury SUV, and the expert evaluation also points to a polished, composed driving experience. Lincoln’s ownership perks and service-oriented approach add to the appeal if you value a premium ownership experience. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that outdated technology and complex equipment can become more frustrating as the vehicle ages.

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

Accident-free inventory is solid at 88.5% — always verify the vehicle history report. You should still check the report carefully, because a clean listing percentage does not replace a proper history review. Prioritize a thorough inspection of the cabin electronics, driver-assistance functions, and overall condition, especially if you want the luxury features to work as intended. Pay close attention to how the vehicle drives in stop-and-go traffic and on rough pavement, since comfort and refinement are central to the Aviator’s appeal.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The standard Aviator uses a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 with a 10-speed automatic and rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, while the Grand Touring versions add a hybrid automatic transmission, a 75-kilowatt electric motor, and a battery pack. The cabin presentation and feature content vary a lot by trim, so the base versions are the ones most likely to feel less lavish than the upper trims.
• Powertrain: You get a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 in the gas models, while the Grand Touring versions pair that engine with an electric motor and battery pack. The plug-in hybrid setup is quick and efficient when charged, but the drivetrain can feel unpredictable, and the brake pedal can be inconsistent.
• Safety package: Lincoln uses Co-Pilot360 1.5, Co-Pilot360 1.5 Plus, and Co-Pilot360 2.0 driver-aid collections, with availability varying by trim. The fully loaded model includes 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, and navigation. It runs Sync 3 software, which feels dated and can struggle with voice recognition.
• Fuel efficiency: The Grand Touring plug-in hybrid is rated at 21 miles of electric range and 23 mpg combined in hybrid mode.

Which 2023 Lincoln Aviator trim should I buy?

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

Here's the short version:

• Standard: This is the entry point if you want the Aviator’s core quiet-luxury character and the twin-turbo V6 without stepping into the hybrid setup. It makes sense if you care more about the refined ride and upscale feel than about loading up every feature.
• Reserve: This is the best-value trim if you want a more premium experience without jumping all the way to the top of the range. It should be the trim to focus on if you want a stronger balance of luxury content and price.
• Black Label: Choose this if you want the most upscale gas-powered Aviator experience and the richest cabin presentation. It suits you if interior materials and a more exclusive feel matter more than keeping the purchase price in check.
• Grand Touring: This is the trim to consider if you want the plug-in hybrid powertrain, standard AWD, and the added efficiency of electric driving. It is the right fit if you can charge regularly and want the strongest efficiency story in the lineup.
• Black Label Grand Touring: This is the top choice if you want the plug-in hybrid setup plus the most lavish equipment and presentation. It is the most indulgent version, but it also makes the most sense only if you value the full luxury experience over price.

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

What is the 2023 Lincoln Aviator's resale value?

The current average of $43,185 sits slightly below last year's $49,648. That kind of price movement suggests the Aviator has already absorbed a meaningful amount of depreciation, which can help future sellers if they buy at the right price today. If you shop carefully now, you may reduce the amount of value lost over your ownership period. 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?

Crash-test ratings for the standard Aviator include a Top Safety Pick from the IIHS and a five-star overall rating from the NHTSA. It earns a 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-aid collections, with features 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. The safety tech performs well overall, though the lane-keeping system can be less natural in curves and the driver aids are less dependable in denser traffic.

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:

• 29.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 88.5% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 13.02% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2023 model year keeps the Quiet Flight formula intact while adding a new Jet Package and Special Edition Luxe Package for Grand Touring models.

The bottom line: The 2023 Aviator makes the most sense if you want the current-year version of Lincoln’s quiet, comfort-first three-row SUV and you can take advantage of the softer pricing. If you’re especially price-sensitive, you may want to compare it with nearby years to see whether a lower entry price outweighs the 2023 model’s current market value and feature set.
