    Kids moved to college looking to downsize.

    It has green a great dependable vehicle not to mention very comfortable. All my kids are gone now so I’m looking to downsize. I’d be willing to trade depending on the trade just email about details. Price negotiable

    Very reliable car.

    I bought this Lincoln used and have only spent 600.00 in 5 years and it's 15 years old. I love the car and would buy another one.

    Rides great. But the terrible 5.4 3valve engine me

    Unreliable components. Engine is strong quick and the most unreliable I have ever owned. Never again Ford. That power-plant should have been a recall, every mechanic will tell you., "it is garbage".

    Outstanding Highway Cruiser and Family Hauler

    Lincoln Navigator is a true Family Hauler of 8. Best 3rd row SUV on the market. Truly like driving a couch with good looks to boot.

    Very Reliable with a few electrical gremlins

    Owned my '05 for 7years and really enjoyed the vehicle. Other then a couple of small issues like the radio volume not working (steering wheel controls still do), air suspension going bad and HVAC control issues it's been great. Not bad for 7yrs. More powerful, quieter and funner to drive then our new '10 QX56. At 127k miles there is still tons of life left in it.

    2005 Lincoln Nav the good and bad

    This was my dream vehicle, it had all the bells and whistles that you now pay big bucks for included: V8 engine, reverse sensors, heated and A/C leather seats, moon roof, power lift gate, power running boards. The only problem with this vehicle was this transmission configuration was only used on the 2005. It gave me problems ( I owned the vehicle for 12 years and did drive the vehicle for over 155,000 miles.) on multiple transmissions. It carried everything I could think of from people to pets to home repair items. It was big but handled easily. Lots of lines of sight. When sold it did not look like a 12 year old vehicle.

    Best vehicle I've owned.

    The vehicle is spacious, and very reliable. I own one and when looking for a second vehicle, the Navigator was I searched for. I now own two 2005 Lincoln Navigators.

    Most unreliable vehicle I have owned.

    This vehicle I drove over 200miles to get and when we got back home I had to be towed home the next day I could let NY tank go under half tank. Just a horrible experience.

    Awesome Vehicle

    I purchased this vehicle when it was two years old with 20,000 miles. It is totally electric and so far everything works great. I've only had minor problems with this vehicle and those were common to any vehicle. I now have 110,000 miles on it and it still performs extremely well. If you drive it at 60 MPH or below you can get 20+ MPG on the highway. 70 or above I get around 17.5 MPG. This is definitely the most awesome vehicle I have ever owned. I would definitely buy it again. I hope to keep it for many more years. Many people have told me it is the best riding vehicle they have ever ridden in. Mileage is a mile or two less per gallon in winter. Especially Awesome vehicle for long trips.
