Bought this 98 Navigator in 2003 after looking for a Minivan. Initially thought the vehicle was too classy for an SUV. However other than replacing coils it has been fantastic. Usually the early models are lacking, but I feel with Lincoln they had something to prove and put all the quality into the 1998. We still have it with 138,000 on it now and love it..
The best Luxury SUV Ever

This truck is performing at high standards and looks good.I still have the factory chrome wheels.If you keep the maintenance up it will last you for years to come.Some people think that they can just ride for years and not do the maintenance.Then when parts start going bad all at once, they say bad things about the navagator.
Love my Navigator

All I can say is that I've Never had any problems at all Only thing I've had Replaced were the Brakes which at the time I thought were to early but after talking to people they said 48000 miles wasn't that bad for a car this size.

My family has loved owning this Navigator, it is wonderful for Boy Scout campouts and long distance travel. We purchased this vehicle because our family is growing (6'5", 6'4", 5'11", & 5'10") and needed more leg and headroom and this was perfect. Aside from the obviously bad mpg (on all SUV's) and slightly underpowered acceleration (for a Lincoln, great compared to "normal" SUV's), this is a great, stable SUV. We own several Lincolns and will definitely continue to buy. The newer models seem to have corrected most of the imperfections found on the '98.

After all these years (7), the Navigator still gives me a feeling of fun and excitement to drive. The doors shut with a confident sound, and the massiveness and muscle make me feel in charge. It can pull stumps and deliver me to the Ball in the same day. I love this truck.
23 years and still going strong (update)

The 1998 Navigator went into production in June 1997. Mine was made in August of 1997 so it truly is one of the first made. The vehicle is 21 years old and has a few (very few) scratches and no dings or dents. The carpets (like almost everything else) are original and look new. The vehicle is NOT made for driving around the city and if you do, you will receive very poor mileage (like 12-14 MPG). Take this girl out on the highway and you will get 21-25 MPG which for a 7700-pound vehicle is incredible. This is not a sports car and needs some time to get up to cruising speed, but when it does, it is smooth as glass. Of special note: As large as she is, the vehicle has a very small turning radius. I have owned the vehicle since 2000 and with the exception of normal maintainance, the only bad luck (NOT Lincoln's fault) is that I am on my 3rd A/C compressor. I have only had 1 tune-up, 1 brake job, 2 sets of tires and that is about it. My Navigator has 99,000 miles, always garaged, has never seen snow and hopefully, it will be with me for another 20 years! **UPDATE** 2/21 It has been a few years since my review and the girl still purrs like a kitten. I had another brake job performed (2 in 21 years!!) and went through a spat of bad A/C compressors (7 to be exact), but the Ford service center took care of replacing them at no charge.
