Used 2023 Lincoln Navigator for Sale nearIndianapolis, IN

How much does the 2023 Lincoln Navigator cost?

Prices have softened 13.48% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 1,296 listings available, which suggests solid inventory for shoppers comparing prices and equipment.

Is the 2023 Lincoln Navigator a good car?

Yes — it 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 from its truck-style platform, which supports significant towing and hauling capability, along with a spacious third row and upscale family-friendly packaging. The trade-offs are a poor ride in Normal mode and a basic version of hands-free driving tech.

For shoppers who want a large luxury SUV that prioritizes space, capability, and tech over efficiency, it fits that brief well. Good and great deals account for 33.2% of listings, which gives you some room to shop selectively.

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 test drive data highlights its powerful engine and roomy cabin as core strengths. It also notes that the SUV is built for towing and hauling, which reinforces its durability-minded mission.

The performance notes point to 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. On the cost side, the model is described as expensive to buy, fuel, maintain, and repair, so long-term ownership risk is more about operating costs than basic satisfaction.

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

Accident-free inventory is solid at 86.3% — always verify the vehicle history report.

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

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’s Reserve setup added ambient lighting and blacked-out exterior details, while the base trim is positioned below it.
• 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 fuel economy is not a strength.
• Safety package: Standard Lincoln Co-Pilot360 2.0 is joined by available Lincoln Co-Pilot360 2.0 Drive packages. The more unusual features include Evasive Steering Assist, Intersection Assist, and BlueCruise, but the hands-free system lacks lane-change assist and can struggle with curves, mixed pavement, and construction zones.
• Infotainment: The Navigator has a 13.2-inch touchscreen infotainment system, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a navigation system, Alexa Built-in, Lincoln Connect with Wi-Fi hotspot access, and available rear-seat screens. The wireless phone charger can run hot.
• Fuel efficiency: The test vehicle was rated at 18 mpg in combined driving, and the test loop returned 15.6 mpg.

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 strengths without the added luxury extras. It suits you if you want the size, capability, and tech without stretching for appearance or comfort upgrades.
• Reserve: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds a more upscale cabin presentation and the equipment used in the test vehicle, including ambient lighting and available appearance upgrades. It’s the trim to target if you want the Navigator’s luxury feel without going all the way to the top.
• Black Label: This is the most premium choice if you want the most exclusive version of the Navigator. It makes sense if you care most about luxury presentation and are willing to pay for it.

The standard Lincoln Co-Pilot360 2.0 safety package is joined by available Co-Pilot360 2.0 Drive packages, so check whether the specific trim and listing include the driver-assistance features you want.

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: 33.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,296 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 13.48% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 86.3% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $56,240, 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 $56,240 sits slightly below last year's $65,002.

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, it also means you should expect depreciation pressure to remain part of the ownership equation.

The Navigator’s strong capability and luxury positioning can still support demand among buyers who want a large, upscale SUV with real utility. 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.

Standard Lincoln Co-Pilot360 2.0 brings a long list of advanced driver-assistance systems, and available Co-Pilot360 2.0 Drive packages add features such as Evasive Steering Assist, Intersection Assist, and BlueCruise. BlueCruise is a hands-free driving assist system for designated highways, but it lacks lane-change assist and can struggle in curves, mixed pavement, and construction zones.

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:

• 33.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 86.3% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 13.48% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2023 stands out for its powerful engine, spacious third row, and impressive technology.

Consider the 2022 if:

• At $48,531, the 2022 costs less than the current year's $56,240 average.
• It offers a refreshed mix of design, comfort, technology, safety, and driving dynamics.

The bottom line: If you want the stronger current-market value story and the year-specific strengths of the 2023 model, that’s the better primary path. If your priority is spending less up front, the 2022 is the more price-sensitive alternative and still brings a compelling mix of comfort, capability, and updates.
