Used 2023 Lincoln Navigator for Sale nearAnaheim, CA

How much does the 2023 Lincoln Navigator cost?

Prices have softened 13.79% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 1,301 listings available, which gives you a solid pool to compare trims and conditions.

If you find a listing below $56,493.85, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

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 fits your needs best if you want a full-size luxury SUV with serious towing and hauling capability, a spacious third row, and a cabin built for family duty and long-distance travel. The trade-offs are clear: fuel economy is poor, and the ride quality is criticized in Normal mode.

You also get a powerful twin-turbo V6, but the basic version of hands-free driving tech keeps it from feeling fully polished in every situation. Even so, 31.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals, so 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 truck-based platform and robust capability point to a vehicle built for heavy-duty use, and Lincoln positions it as a full-size luxury SUV meant to handle towing, hauling, and family travel. The expert review also notes that it is expensive to buy, fuel, maintain, and repair, which is part of the ownership equation for a vehicle like this.

Its twin-turbo V6 delivers strong performance, and the model’s overall mission is durability through capability rather than efficiency. If you buy used, your biggest long-term risk is paying luxury-SUV running costs for a vehicle that may have been used hard.

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

Accident-free inventory is solid at 86.7% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the history report carefully, because a clean listing percentage does not replace a proper paper trail. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection that focuses on ride quality, brake feel, and the condition of the suspension and tires, since the Navigator’s size and wheel setup can magnify wear. You should also make sure the technology and driver-assistance features work as expected, especially if the vehicle has optional packages.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The cabin is upscale and uses quality materials, but some switchgear can feel less luxurious than the rest of the interior. The test vehicle was a Reserve model, one step up from Standard and one step down from Black Label, so base-trim equipment gaps matter if you want a more premium feel.
• 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. It is the only engine available, and it delivers strong performance, though fuel economy is poor.
• Safety package: Lincoln Co-Pilot360 2.0 is standard, with Lincoln Co-Pilot360 2.0 Drive available. The more unusual features include Evasive Steering Assist, Intersection Assist, and BlueCruise, but BlueCruise 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 Alexa Built-in, navigation, and Lincoln Connect services. It also offers a widescreen head-up display, and the system is easy to use.
• Fuel efficiency: The test vehicle returned 18 mpg in combined driving on its EPA rating and 15.6 mpg on the test loop.

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, so it makes sense if you want the Navigator’s core size, capability, and luxury presence without stretching for extras. It should suit you if you care more about the big-SUV experience than the most elaborate cabin upgrades.
• Reserve: This is the best-value trim for most shoppers because it adds a more upscale feel and was the test vehicle’s trim. It brings a richer cabin presentation and the kind of equipment that makes the Navigator feel properly luxurious without jumping all the way to the top.
• Black Label: Choose this if you want the most premium expression of the Navigator and are willing to pay for it. It is the trim for buyers who want the fullest luxury treatment and the most exclusive presentation.

Lincoln Co-Pilot360 2.0 is standard, while Lincoln Co-Pilot360 2.0 Drive is available.

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

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so you should shop with a clear target and compare listings carefully.

• Deal availability: 31.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,301 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 13.79% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 86.7% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $56,493.85, 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 $56,463 sits slightly below last year's $65,493.

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, the key takeaway is that large luxury SUVs can lose value quickly, especially when fuel costs and ownership expenses are high.

The Navigator still has appeal because it offers strong capability, a roomy cabin, and a premium image that some buyers actively seek. If demand stays steady for full-size luxury SUVs, that should help support resale better than a less distinctive vehicle.

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?

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

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

Lincoln Co-Pilot360 2.0 is standard, and Lincoln Co-Pilot360 2.0 Drive is available. The available driver-assistance content includes Evasive Steering Assist, Intersection Assist, and BlueCruise hands-free driving on designated highways.

BlueCruise is useful, but it is not fully hands-off in the way you might hope: it struggles with curves, mixed pavement surfaces, and construction zones, and it lacks lane-change assist. That means you will still need to stay engaged and take over when conditions get complicated.

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:

• 31.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 86.7% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 13.79% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It combines strong towing and hauling capability with a spacious third row and impressive technology.

Consider the 2022 if:

• At $48,872, the 2022 costs less than the current year's $56,463 average.
• It brings a refreshed design and updates that improved styling, comfort, technology, safety, and driving dynamics.

The bottom line: If you want the stronger market position and current-year pricing context, the 2023 is the better all-around pick. If your priority is saving money up front, the 2022 is the smarter value play, especially if you find one in good condition with the equipment you want.
