Used Lincoln Navigator for Sale

I currently own a Lincoln Navigator that my husband purchased for me sometime ago. I also previously owned a black Navigator so I feel pretty well versed in this department. Although I have owned two, this is my last purchase in the Lincoln family. The vehicle is nice looking and it appears to be in great condition with relatively low mileage. However, it runs differently. Some of the problems that I have experienced are common problems amongst owners of the Navigator, which leads me to believe that these are manufacturers problems that have not been resolved by the company. In addition, once the problem was discovered, it appears that the company made little effort to rectify it. One my major problems is with the air compressor, which is supposed to raise the car up when the car cuts on and lower it when the car is turned off. When the air compressor stops working, it won't raise the vehicle up and therefore can not be driven. I have had to take the car to the dealership several times for this problem and it still does not work properly. This is a common problem that should have been repaired by Lincoln without cost because it appears to be a manufacturer's problem. I also have continually problems with the tires which the repairman informed me that the rims were bent which continues to cause the tire to deflate.

I was initially drawn to this vehicle because I had a very small car years ago and I really like the safe feeling of a large and in charge vehicle. I certainly do feel safe in this vehicle. I can easily see above the cars and the views can't be beat. I can easily see if someone is approaching me from all directions. I like the viewpoint that I have when I am driving and I feel very secure. I know if I got into an accident I would be just fine in this vehicle. The handling of this vehicle does take some getting used to. It is so much bigger than a car and it almost has the sense of driving a small truck. It maneuvers well and easily but it does feel extremely heavy and just a little bit clumsy while I am driving tit. I do like the amount of space inside. At first I thought it would be too big but we fill it up easily. I can easily see the people that are sitting in the back of the vehicle so it is very easy to keep an eye on children. There is plenty of room for the kids to being every imaginable thing into the car so we have taken it on vacations where we would normally travel a different way.

Let me just say, we purchased this car for just around $25K and there is no way in hell I would have paid sticker price (approx. $65K) for it even if I could afford it. We of course bought it used and everything was fine for the first year and half, maybe two. Then gradually everything started to fall apart. And I'm not talking the typical normal wear and tear things that usually need to get looked at/changed/fixed/upkept/etc. It's just been really ridiculous and we cannot wait until our last 2 years are up so that we can trade it in for something new. Before this we had bought used a Ford Explorer and had it for over 12 years and never had issues beyond the normal wear and tear. So, we were really surprised when this newer, more expensive vehicle didn't do so well.
