Used 2023 Lincoln Navigator for Sale nearMilwaukee, WI

How much does the 2023 Lincoln Navigator cost?

Prices have softened 13.46% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 1,292 listings available, which suggests solid inventory for shoppers comparing trims and conditions.

If you find a listing below $56,927.02, 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 described as poor in Normal mode.

The Navigator’s market position is still workable, with 29.2% of listings priced as good or great deals.

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 twin-turbo V6 give it the kind of robust, big-SUV character that supports heavy-duty use, and the cabin is built around comfort and capability. Its standard adaptive damping suspension with Road Preview is designed to help smooth out changing pavement, and the model’s overall mission is clearly centered on durability, space, and towing strength.

If you’re buying used, the main long-term ownership risk is that a large luxury SUV can be expensive to keep in top shape, especially if it has been used hard or neglected on maintenance.

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

Accident-free inventory is solid at 87.5% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the history report carefully, because a clean title alone does not tell you how the SUV was maintained or driven. Prioritize a thorough inspection of the suspension, brakes, tires, and interior wear, since this is a large luxury SUV that can rack up costly repairs if it has been abused. Focus on whether the cabin electronics, driver-assistance features, and ride quality all work as expected.

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 showed how much the Navigator’s upscale feel depends on trim and package content. Base-model equipment gaps matter here because the cabin presentation, ambient lighting, and exterior details can change the experience a lot.
• 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 delivers strong performance, but fuel economy is poor.
• 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, but BlueCruise is basic and lacks lane-change assist.
• Infotainment: The Navigator has a 13.2-inch touchscreen infotainment system, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and over-the-air-style connected services through Lincoln Connect. It also offers a digital instrument display and available rear-seat entertainment.
• Fuel efficiency: The test vehicle returned 18 mpg in combined driving, and the review notes that it cannot 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, so it makes the most sense if you want the Navigator’s core size, towing ability, and luxury presence without paying for the upper-trim 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 cabin feel and the kind of equipment that makes the Navigator feel properly luxurious. It’s the trim that best balances content and price if you want the sweet spot.
• Black Label: Choose this if you want the most premium presentation and are willing to pay for it. It’s the trim for shoppers who want the Navigator at its most luxurious and fully dressed.

The standard Lincoln Co-Pilot360 2.0 safety suite is supplemented by the available Co-Pilot360 2.0 Drive package.

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 opportunities.

• Deal availability: 29.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,292 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 13.46% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 87.5% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $56,927.02, 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 $56,909 sits slightly below last year's $65,763.

That drop suggests the Navigator has moved into a more buyer-friendly pricing zone, which can help you if you’re shopping now. For a future seller, it also means you should expect depreciation pressure to remain part of the ownership equation, especially for a large luxury SUV with high running costs.

Even so, the Navigator’s size, capability, and luxury positioning help it stay relevant in its segment. If you keep it in strong condition and maintain it well, you’ll be better positioned when it’s time to sell.

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 package includes Evasive Steering Assist, Intersection Assist, and BlueCruise hands-free driving assist. BlueCruise works on designated Hands-Free Blue Zones, but it struggles with curves, mixed pavement, and construction zones, and it lacks lane-change assist.

The main caveat is that neither NHTSA nor IIHS provides a full crashworthiness assessment for this model year, so you should treat the available crash-test information as partial rather than complete.

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:

• 29.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 87.5% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 13.46% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It delivers strong towing and hauling capability with a spacious third row and impressive technology.

Consider the 2022 if:

• At $49,205, the 2022 costs less than the current year's $56,909 average.
• It brings a refreshed design, comfort, technology, safety, and driving-dynamics update.

The bottom line: If you want the stronger current-market value story and the 2023’s combination of capability, space, and technology, this is the better pick. If your priority is spending less up front, the 2022 is the more budget-friendly path and still gives you the Navigator’s core strengths.
