Used 2023 Lincoln Navigator for Sale nearEl Paso, TX

How much does the 2023 Lincoln Navigator cost?

Prices have softened 14.98% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 1,258 listings available, which gives you a solid amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2023 Lincoln Navigator a good car?

Yes — you’re looking at a 5/5 user-rated SUV with an expert score of 7.7/10. The standout strength is Technology at 9/10.

The Navigator fits you best if you want a full-size luxury SUV that emphasizes space, towing and hauling capability, and a roomy third row. It also brings impressive technology and a traditional truck-style formula that helps define its character.

The main trade-offs are poor fuel economy and a ride that can feel unsettled in Normal mode. Its hands-free driving tech is also described as basic, so it’s not the most polished choice if that feature matters most to you.

With 34.3% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have a decent chance of finding a competitive price.

Is the 2023 Lincoln Navigator reliable?

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

The Navigator’s reliability case leans more on its established full-size SUV formula than on any standout efficiency or low-cost ownership story. It uses a twin-turbo V6, and the expert review describes it as a vehicle built for towing, hauling, and carrying people comfortably.

The expert review also notes that the Navigator is expensive to buy, fuel, maintain, and repair, which is worth keeping in mind if you plan to own one for the long haul. For used buyers, that means condition and maintenance history matter a lot more than chasing the lowest sticker price.

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

Accident-free inventory is solid at 84.7% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the vehicle history report carefully and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially on a large luxury SUV with complex technology and available driver-assistance features. Focus on overall condition, tire wear, brake feel, and whether the electronics and cameras work as expected.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Navigator Reserve adds 22-inch wheels, ambient lighting, and a more upscale cabin presentation, while the base trim is less richly equipped.
• 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.
• Safety package: Lincoln Co-Pilot360 2.0 is standard, with Lincoln Co-Pilot360 2.0 Drive available; the available package adds Evasive Steering Assist, Intersection Assist, and BlueCruise.
• Infotainment: The Navigator uses a 13.2-inch touchscreen, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and over-the-air-connected services through Lincoln Connect.
• Fuel efficiency: The test vehicle carried an EPA fuel economy rating of 18 mpg in combined driving, and the expert review says it can’t hit 20 mpg in combined driving.

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, but the Navigator’s core appeal is already here: a twin-turbo V6, 4WD, a 13.2-inch touchscreen, wireless smartphone integration, and Lincoln Co-Pilot360 2.0. It makes sense if you want the Navigator’s size and capability without paying for extra luxury touches.
• Reserve: This is the best-value trim if you want the strongest mix of luxury and equipment. It adds a more upscale cabin feel, ambient lighting, and the kind of presentation that better matches the Navigator’s flagship role.
• Black Label: Choose this if you want the most premium expression of the Navigator and are willing to pay for it. It sits at the top of the range and is the trim for buyers who want the most exclusive feel.

The available Lincoln Co-Pilot360 2.0 Drive package adds Evasive Steering Assist, Intersection Assist, and BlueCruise.

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 with some leverage if you’re patient.

• Deal availability: 34.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,258 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 14.98% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 84.7% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $54,784, 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 $54,784 sits slightly below last year's $64,434.

That drop suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you as a buyer today but may limit upside if you plan to resell soon. For a future seller, the current pricing trend means you should expect depreciation pressure to remain part of the ownership equation.

The Navigator’s strong utility, luxury positioning, and broad appeal can still support demand, especially if the vehicle is well maintained and lightly worn. 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 ratings in side-impact protection and four-star ratings for rollover resistance from NHTSA.

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

Lincoln Co-Pilot360 2.0 is standard, and the available Lincoln Co-Pilot360 2.0 Drive package adds Evasive Steering Assist, Intersection Assist, and BlueCruise. BlueCruise is a hands-free driving assist system, but the expert review notes that it struggles with curves, mixed pavement, and construction zones, and it lacks lane-change assist.

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:

• 34.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 84.7% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 14.98% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• An era is coming to an end, with electrification waiting just around the corner.

Consider the 2022 if:

• At $47,114, the 2022 costs less than the current year's $54,784 average.
• It brings refreshed styling, comfort, technology, safety, and driving dynamics.

The bottom line: Choose the 2023 if you want the stronger current-market value and are comfortable with its fuel economy and ride compromises. If you’re more price-sensitive, the 2022 is the better path because it delivers many of the same core Navigator strengths for less money.
