Used 2023 Lincoln Navigator for Sale nearAustin, TX

How much does the 2023 Lincoln Navigator cost?

Prices have softened 14.46% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 1,274 listings available, which gives you a solid amount of inventory to compare.

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 through clearly in its flagship full-size luxury SUV mission: it emphasizes significant towing and hauling capability, a spacious third row, and impressive technology. Those strengths make it a strong fit if you want a large luxury SUV that can carry people comfortably and still feel upscale.

The trade-offs are worth weighing, though. The ride quality is poor in Normal mode, and the hands-free driving tech is described as basic.

With 35.6% of listings priced as good or great deals, you have enough market choice to shop selectively.

Is the 2023 Lincoln Navigator reliable?

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

The Navigator’s truck-style platform and twin-turbo V6 setup point to a vehicle built around capability rather than efficiency, and that matches the rest of its character. The expert evaluation also highlights its roomy cabin, strong towing ability, and upscale presentation, which are the kinds of traits that tend to matter most over time in a large luxury SUV.

Its dependability story is also shaped by the fact that it uses a conventional gasoline powertrain and a 10-speed automatic, rather than a more complex electrified setup. For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is that a large, luxury, high-capability 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 86% — 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 thorough inspection of the cabin, electronics, and suspension behavior, since this is a large luxury SUV with a lot of equipment and a comfort-focused mission. Pay close attention to how the vehicle drives in normal conditions, especially if you want to avoid examples that feel overly harsh or worn.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Reserve test vehicle sat one step up from Standard and one step down from Black Label, and it added a more upscale cabin presentation with ambient lighting, real wood trim, and chrome accents. Base-trim equipment gaps matter here because the Navigator’s luxury feel depends heavily on the trim and option content you choose.
• 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. It is the only engine available, and the performance notes emphasize strong capability rather than fuel efficiency.
• Safety package: The standard Lincoln Co-Pilot360 2.0 and available Lincoln Co-Pilot360 2.0 Drive packages bundle advanced driver-assistance systems, including Evasive Steering Assist, Intersection Assist, and BlueCruise. BlueCruise is not fully hands-off in every situation, and it lacks a lane-change assist function.
• Infotainment: The Navigator has a 13.2-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a 12-inch digital instrumentation display, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and Alexa Built-in. It also offers a widescreen head-up display and Lincoln Play rear-seat screens.
• Fuel efficiency: The test vehicle returned 18 mpg in combined driving on the 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, and 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 stepping up for extra cabin polish and equipment.
• Reserve: This is the best-value trim if you want the strongest balance of upscale feel and equipment. It adds a more premium cabin presentation, and the test vehicle showed how well it can be equipped with features like ambient lighting and richer interior materials.
• Black Label: Choose this if you want the most luxurious expression of the Navigator and are willing to pay for it.

The safety package is centered on Lincoln Co-Pilot360 2.0, with the Drive package adding more advanced assistance features.

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: 35.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,274 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 14.46% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 86.0% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $55,319, 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 $55,319 sits slightly below last year's $64,669.

That price drop suggests the Navigator has already absorbed a meaningful amount of depreciation, which can help future resale stability if you buy at the right price. For a luxury SUV like this, the biggest resale advantage usually comes from strong equipment, desirable condition, and a clean history.

Because the market has softened, your future selling position improves if you avoid overpaying now. A well-kept example bought near the lower end of the range should give you a better chance of limiting depreciation pain later.

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 Lincoln 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 and available Lincoln Co-Pilot360 2.0 Drive packages bring a long list of advanced driver-assistance systems, including Evasive Steering Assist, Intersection Assist, and BlueCruise. BlueCruise is a hands-free driving assist system that works on designated highways, but it struggles with curves, mixed pavement, and construction zones, and it lacks lane-change assist.

One caveat to keep in mind is that neither NHTSA nor IIHS provides a full crashworthiness assessment for this Lincoln, so you should weigh the available ratings alongside the SUV’s driver-assistance hardware.

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:

• 35.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 86% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 14.46% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2023 stands out for its spacious third row and impressive technology.

Consider the 2022 if:

• At $47,789, the 2022 costs less than the current year's $55,319 average.
• It brings a refreshed design and updated comfort and technology.

The bottom line: If you want the strongest mix of current-market value, technology, and full-size luxury capability, the 2023 is the better target. If your priority is spending less up front, the 2022 is the more budget-friendly path and still delivers the Navigator’s core strengths.
