2023 Aviator Black Label…dodged a bullet it seems

I’ve always thought Lincoln has an ego of itself that is delusional for the price they want. So I used my advantage when I got a hair in March this year. I called the local dealer that I got a 2023 Nautilus 2.7 Reserve from in May 2023 for my wife and she loves it. 10 months of bulletproof operation sold me to give this a shot. I saw an 2023 Aviator Black Label on their lot and offered $10 k under msrp. The 2023 was sitting next to the 2024’s and the 2025’s will be ordering soon. They laughed at my offer and said their $5k discount was plenty. Same offer to the next dealer over the phone that had an absolutely stunning black/alpine Chalet package. They got to within $8,500 of msrp and I said pass. You can give me more on my trade in or discount it more, I don’t care how but you got my offer. I was dealing with the Sales Mgr and reminded him that all his 2023’s will be sold at a loss but, your first loss is always your best loss. They called back 90 minutes later and said deal. Judging by the reviews here and other forums the 2020 - 2022 have a litany of problems, including the Do Not Sell recall order in April 2023 to October for the backup camera issue. Mine was built in December 2023 the last month they made them and it was either a good day or they finally figured out how to build it correctly. 13k on it and like the wife’s Nautilus…bulletproof. I gave her the Aviator after a few months and took her Nautilus for work as I work all over and she puts 34 miles a day on it. Lincoln is a good product and I’ve had BMW, MB two Genesis products that rocked it. But the guy at Lincoln with the pen that price’s their product has got to be on shrooms 🤪 But I get to drive it on weekends 😁 UPDATE: Exterior proportions, shape, and design, really is a striking SUV. Got the black with the alpine white interior combination and it’s absolutely stunning. The 3 L twin turbo 400 HP engine is awesome. Ford really knows how to get the most out of smaller displacement engines. My wife’s 2023 Nautilis with the 2.7 TwinTurbo 335 hp engine has been bulletproof and moves. 10 speed transmission, 30 seat position ultra benchmark seats, 28 speaker Rebel audio are all top of the line features. Uber classy and phenomenal luxury ride is what I was looking for with some eye-popping style… This is it. 22 inch wheels look great with the 275 meaty footprint, but you feel every crack in the road with these low profile wheels. It’s a smooth luxury ride, but you pick up the harshness of the road if you get the meaning. Had a 2024 MDX advance for 14k miles and was so unimpressed with their top package and mundane 3.5 under performing engine that needs premium fuel and isn’t forced induction…wtf? In March 2024 I got bored with my 7 month old Acura and was impressed with my wife’s 2023 Nautilis and how well it did over its first year. So I picked up the phone and called the dealer. I have loved the proportions and the look of the Aviator and saw on the Internet there were 2023 Black Label discounted five grand. The 2024s were out sitting right next to this 2023 Black Label. So I offered 10 grand under MSRP for this ridiculously expensive vehicle. The sales manager said he could go another 500…and I said hard Pass. Called up another dealer five hours away that had this beautiful black and alpine Black Label on the lot. Gave the same 10 grand under MSRP offer. They got two $8500 discount and I said pass. And I reminded the sales manager that every 2023 they’ve got on their lot will be sold for a loss. And your first loss will be your best loss. They called me back 90 minutes later and said deal. Who’s ever pricing these at Lincoln is definitely doing drugs for the MSRP they come up with. It’s a freaking Lincoln not Mercedes Benz, or Porsche… Get real! The first dealer 20 miles away that wouldn’t budge off their $5000 discount, started selling theirs for my 10 K discount offer four months after I bought mine…😁
Great SUV

Great SUV, amazing 400 hp engine that provides plenty of power and uses regular gas. Drives much smaller than it is and find the handling very similar to my previous X5 with the bonus of a usable third row. Only negative is Fords Sync system which is not as customizable and user friendly as some of the interfaces on other vehicles that I’ve owned. Highly recommend this SUV.

Used to love it, now I’m over it!

I’ve had my vehicle for 2 years now. The day I brought it home it had to go right back for an issue (sorry, I don’t remember what it was). I’ve had problems to the point that I’m SO over Lincoln! I don’t have the 30 way power seats and perhaps that why it’s so uncomfortable to me… also the 3rd row is a complete joke. It’s only suitable for toddlers. I’m so ready to turn this vehicle in for something else. I do love the way it looks Hi it’s and drives. It’s very fast. However, it’s not refined. So that’s a “zonk” as Raitis rides would say. I’m just over it. Heading back to Cadillac!
