New Navigator

2003 Lincoln Navigator Ultimate 4WD 4dr SUV (5.4L 8cyl 4A)

Just picked up my new 2003 Navigator...I love this truck, from the great exterior design to all of the amenities on the inside, this thing is top notch....I went all out and got the ultimate with all available options (navigation, dvd entertainment, chrome wheels, etc...). I was also pleasantly surprised with the navigation system, it is different than what is shown in the published book and much easier to use, all touch screen, no silly knobs to deal with. I really love this truck.

Nice ride, but expensive

This car has so many cool features, but boy are they expensive to fix. I wouldn't buy this if you don't know how to fix things yourself or aren't willing to pay to have it done. That being said, repairs are generally pretty easy but they add up. The powertrain feels pretty bulletproof though, and I would expect it to get over 250k. I've come to realize that if I leave one thing broken, the car will be fine, as every time I fix it, something else breaks within DAYS. It's annoying but I do love the car.

Reliable

I've done factory mandated services to the vehicle for the past 5 years. I got the 03 navi at 130,000 miles and it's pushing 170,000 miles. Manufacturing issues will always be a thing with vehicles no matter what vehicle it is. It's up to you to maintain a vehicle, and understand a vehicle. I got this vehicle for free and it's served me right for 20k miles. As far as issues go, I never had to deal with the air suspension problems, common for this model. The previous owner installed a different suspension and over the years i've had a sway bar link issue which was resolved easily and worn out wheel bearings which was resolved after so much wear and tear. As far as reliability goes if you take care of it and have common sense any car will last... It's a great suv just be careful buying anything old.

beautiful automobile. turned in a 98 Nav. No comparison. The new one drives like a car, not a truck. Feels solid and powerful

This is the most luxurious SUV ever! It has exceeded all my expectations. I was one of the first to own the Ultimate in my area, I've had it now almost a year. I still enjoy the looks it brings. Never had one problem with it. Everyone should be so lucky!

Other than the side mirrors that may not always roll back to original position, I love my Navigator. I have always loved the grill on Navigator so have wanted one ever since I saw the very first Black Navigator in Norfolk, VA.
