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

Older model years carry meaningfully higher accident rates, so always verify the vehicle history report on pre-2020 models.

• Infotainment: Lincoln Digital Experience infotainment system with a 48-inch panoramic display and an 11.1-inch center touchscreen control center, plus Google Built-in and Alexa Built-in.

Which Lincoln Navigator trim should I buy?

The 2025 Lincoln Navigator offers these trims:

• Navigator Reserve: the base version, with the Lincoln Digital Experience, a 48-inch panoramic display, an 11.1-inch touchscreen, BlueCruise, and standard 4WD; this is the best-value trim for most shoppers who want the core luxury and tech package.
• Navigator Black Label: the top trim level, adding the most upscale interior presentation, quality materials, and exclusive design themes, along with the Black Label Special Edition Package and available Sunrise Copper paint.

What Lincoln Navigator do most buyers choose?

The Lincoln Navigator years with the most listings are 2024, 2023, and 2022.

These higher-volume years tend to be popular because they give you a strong mix of newer features, broad availability, and plenty of deal opportunities. They also sit close enough to the latest redesign to deliver the Navigator's modern luxury feel without pushing all the way to the newest-price tier.

What is the Lincoln Navigator's resale value?

The table shows broad double-digit price declines across every listed model year, which can work in your favor if you're shopping used. Newer examples are falling sharply, while older ones are also moving down at a steady pace. That creates a market where you can often find meaningful value without waiting for a major price reset.

The 2016, 2015, and 2019 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

Should I buy a used Lincoln Navigator now or wait for the next model?

Buy now if:

• Price trend: The 2024 model is at −14.38% versus a year ago, and the 2023 model is at −13.79%.
• Deal availability: The 2024 model has 33% good and great deals, and the 2023 model has 31.6%.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2024 model has the most listings at a current average price of $66,027. The Lincoln Navigator offers a spacious, upscale cabin with a strong sense of presence and comfort that makes it especially appealing for long trips and family duty.

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: Lincoln continues to use a twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 engine in the 2025 Navigator. It makes 440 horsepower and 510 lb-ft of torque, bolts to a 10-speed automatic transmission, and has a towing capacity of up to 8,700 pounds with the Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow Package and 22-inch wheels.
• Tech: For 2025, the Navigator adds the company’s Lincoln Digital Experience infotainment system with a 48-inch panoramic display and an 11.1-inch center touchscreen control center.
• Safety: In the 2025 Navigator, Lincoln uses BlueCruise 1.4, the latest version with driver-signaled automatic lane changes and in-lane repositioning to give large trucks traveling in an adjacent lane a little more room.
• Starting price: With a base price of more than $100,000 (including the destination charge), the 2025 Lincoln Navigator is more expensive than the BMW X7, Cadillac Escalade, Infiniti QX80, Jeep Grand Wagoneer, Land Rover Defender 130, and Mercedes-Benz GLS.

If you're buying used today, the 2024 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for 2028 inventory to mature.
