Used 2023 Lincoln Navigator for Sale nearSpokane, WA

How much does the 2023 Lincoln Navigator cost?

Prices have softened 15.55% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 1,258 listings available, which suggests you have a meaningful 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 7.7/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Technology at 9/10.

The Navigator stands out as Lincoln’s flagship full-size luxury SUV, and it pairs a traditional truck-style platform with strong towing and hauling capability. That makes it a good fit if you want a large luxury SUV that still feels built for serious utility, while also offering a spacious third row and impressive technology.

The trade-offs are real: poor fuel economy and poor ride quality in Normal mode are the main drawbacks, and the hands-free driving tech is described as basic. Even so, the model’s 34.0% share of good and great deals suggests there are still attractive 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 traditional truck-style foundation supports its capability, and the expert review emphasizes that it remains a serious utility vehicle with strong performance. It also pairs that with a roomy cabin and robust towing capacity, which are the kinds of traits that tend to matter over the long haul.

The performance notes point to a twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 with 440 horsepower and 510 pound-feet of torque, plus an adaptive damping suspension with Road Preview. That combination suggests a sophisticated setup, though the review also makes clear that the SUV’s size, weight, and ride behavior can be demanding in everyday use.

For used buyers, the biggest long-term ownership risk is that a large luxury SUV like this 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 84.6% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still run a vehicle history report on any candidate and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially on a large luxury SUV with complex electronics and driver-assistance systems. Focus on overall condition, tire wear, brake feel, and whether the cabin and tech features operate as expected.

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.
• Powertrain: The only engine is 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: 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 lacks lane-change assist, so you still need to take over to pass slower traffic.
• Infotainment: The Navigator has a 13.2-inch touchscreen infotainment system, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and Alexa Built-in. It also offers a 12-inch digital instrumentation display and an available widescreen head-up display.
• Fuel efficiency: The test vehicle was rated at 18 mpg in combined driving, and the review notes that the Navigator 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 review makes clear that the Navigator’s appeal is really about its size, capability, and technology rather than bargain pricing. If you want the core Navigator experience, this is the starting place.
• Reserve: This is the trim the test vehicle used, and it adds a more upscale feel with ambient lighting and available packages that enhance the cabin. It looks like the best-value choice if you want the Navigator’s luxury and tech without chasing the top trim.
• Black Label: This is the top trim and is the right pick if you want the most premium presentation and are willing to pay for it.

The standard Lincoln Co-Pilot360 2.0 and available Lincoln Co-Pilot360 2.0 Drive packages add important safety tech, so check whether the specific trim you’re considering includes the features you want.

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

The market looks selective rather than overheated, so you can shop with some leverage if you’re patient.

• Deal availability: 34.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,258 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 15.55% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 84.6% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $53,888, 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 $53,888 sits slightly below last year's $63,808.

That decline suggests the Navigator has already absorbed a meaningful amount of depreciation, which can be good news if you’re buying used and less ideal if you’re planning to sell soon. A softer price trend can make it easier to attract shoppers, but it also means future resale gains may be limited unless the vehicle is especially well kept.

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 a five-star side-impact protection rating and a four-star rollover resistance rating 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 bundle advanced driver-assistance systems, including Evasive Steering Assist, Intersection Assist, and BlueCruise. BlueCruise is a hands-free driving assist system for designated highways, but 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:

• 34.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 84.6% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 15.55% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2023 stands out for its strong performance, spacious third row, and impressive technology.

Consider the 2022 if:

• At $46,068, the 2022 costs less than the current year's $53,888 average.
• It offers classically elegant styling and refreshed comfort and technology.

The bottom line: If you want the stronger current-market value story and the latest 2023 pricing context, the 2023 is the better primary target. If your priority is spending less upfront, the 2022 is the more budget-friendly path and still delivers the Navigator’s core strengths.

How does the 2023 Lincoln Navigator compare to the 2023 Cadillac Escalade?

Expert Pros & Cons (per CarGurus review team)

2023 Lincoln Navigator:

• Pros: Powerful engine, Spacious third row, Impressive technology.
• Cons: Poor fuel economy, Poor ride quality (in Normal mode), Basic version of hands-free driving tech.

2023 Cadillac Escalade:

• Pros: Impressive technology, Impressive stereo, Plenty of cargo space.
• Cons: Poor fuel economy, Interior materials feel cheap, Underwhelming base engine.

Our experts score the 2023 Lincoln Navigator 7.7/10 and the 2023 Cadillac Escalade 7.3/10. The Navigator has the edge if you care most about power and third-row space, while the Escalade leans harder into audio and cargo room. Both are thirsty, but the Navigator’s basic hands-free tech and rougher Normal-mode ride are worth weighing against the Escalade’s weaker base engine and less convincing interior materials.
