Used 2023 Lincoln Navigator for Sale near Alabama

How much does the 2023 Lincoln Navigator cost?

Prices have softened 13.47% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 1,324 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.

It stands out as Lincoln’s flagship full-size luxury SUV, and its truck-style platform gives you significant towing and hauling capability. You also get a spacious third row and strong technology, which make it especially appealing if you want a large luxury SUV that can do more than just carry passengers.

The trade-offs are real: the fuel economy is poor, the ride quality is described as poor in Normal mode, and the hands-free driving tech is basic.

The market shows 34.0% of listings as good or great deals, which suggests there are still worthwhile opportunities if you shop carefully.

Is the 2023 Lincoln Navigator reliable?

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

The Navigator’s traditional truck-style foundation supports its capability-focused character, and the expert testing also points to a strong powertrain and a roomy, comfortable cabin. Its twin-turbo V6 is described as powerful, and the SUV’s size and towing ability reinforce the sense that it’s built for serious use.

The performance notes also show that the Navigator can feel composed when you choose the right drive mode, even if Normal mode ride quality is a weak point. On the cost side, Lincoln positions it as a vehicle you buy for style, space, and capability rather than efficiency or bargain pricing.

For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is that a large luxury SUV like this 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 85.6% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still run a history report on any listing you’re considering, even if it looks clean on paper. Prioritize a thorough inspection of the suspension, brakes, and tires, since the Navigator’s size and wheel setup can make wear and ride quality more noticeable. Focus on overall condition, because luxury features and large-SUV hardware can be costly to sort out later.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The test vehicle was a Reserve model, one step up from Standard and one step down from Black Label. Reserve adds 22-inch wheels, and the cabin gets ambient lighting through the Reserve I package, but the content also notes that some switchgear still doesn’t fully convey luxury.
• Powertrain: You get 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. The Navigator’s combined fuel economy is 18 mpg, and the test vehicle averaged 15.6 mpg on the testing loop.
• Safety package: Standard Lincoln Co-Pilot360 2.0 and available Lincoln Co-Pilot360 2.0 Drive packages bundle the driver-assistance tech. The more unusual features include Evasive Steering Assist, Intersection Assist, and BlueCruise. BlueCruise is hands-free on designated highways, but it struggles with curves, mixed pavement, and construction zones, and it lacks lane-change assist.
• Infotainment: The Navigator uses a 13.2-inch touchscreen with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, plus a 12-inch digital instrument display. It also includes Alexa Built-in, a navigation system, Lincoln Connect services, and a Wi-Fi hotspot.
• Fuel efficiency: The Navigator’s combined fuel economy is 18 mpg, and the test vehicle returned 15.6 mpg in testing.

Which 2023 Lincoln Navigator trim should I buy?

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

Here's the short version:

• Standard: This is the entry point, and it gives you the Navigator’s core full-size luxury SUV experience without stepping up to the more richly equipped versions. If you want the lowest-cost path into the model, this is the trim to start with.
• Reserve: This is the best-value trim if you want the strongest mix of luxury and equipment. It adds the upscale cabin touches and the 22-inch wheel setup seen in the test vehicle, but it also brings the ride-quality trade-off that comes with the larger wheels.
• Black Label: This is the top trim for buyers who want the most upscale presentation and are willing to pay for it. It sits above Reserve and is the right choice if you want the most premium version of the Navigator lineup.

The safety-package setup centers on Lincoln Co-Pilot360 2.0, with the available Co-Pilot360 2.0 Drive package adding more advanced assistance features.

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

This looks like a moderate market for selective buyers, with enough inventory to compare options and enough deal activity to reward patience.

• Deal availability: 34.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,324 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 13.47% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 85.6% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $56,043, 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 $56,043 sits slightly below last year's $64,771.

That price drop suggests the Navigator has already moved through a meaningful part of its depreciation curve. For a future seller, that can be a mixed blessing: you may not recover luxury-SUV purchase costs quickly, but the current market also gives you a clearer benchmark for setting a realistic asking price.

Because the model is still desirable for its size, capability, and upscale cabin, well-kept examples should continue to attract attention. 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 Navigator earns five-star side-impact protection and four-star rollover resistance ratings from NHTSA.

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

The standard Lincoln Co-Pilot360 2.0 package and available Co-Pilot360 2.0 Drive package bring a long list of driver-assistance features, including Evasive Steering Assist, Intersection Assist, and BlueCruise. BlueCruise is Lincoln’s hands-free driving assist system for designated highways, but it lacks lane-change assist and can struggle with curves, mixed pavement, and construction zones.

One important caveat is that neither NHTSA nor IIHS provides a full crashworthiness assessment for this model year, so you’re working with partial crash-test information rather than a complete picture.

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:

• 34.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 85.6% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 13.47% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It delivers strong towing and hauling capability on a traditional truck-style platform.

Consider the 2022 if:

• At $48,515, the 2022 costs less than the current year's $56,043 average.
• It brings design, comfort, and technology updates that help refresh the SUV’s appeal.

The bottom line: If you want the better current-market balance of price, inventory, and feature content, the 2023 is the cleaner pick. If your priority is spending less up front, the 2022 is the smarter price-sensitive alternative, especially if you find one in strong condition.
