My Worst Car Purchase EVER! - Lincoln Navigator Review

I’ll be reviewing this Lincoln Navigator after owning it for only a couple months. Spoiler alert, I’m getting rid of it!

In this video, I go over the worst purchase I made in 2020 which was the Lincoln Navigator I bought for my wife. This was a terrible investment for multiple reasons.

Well, if you need a full trunk space with 3 rows, then you buy a Navigator L. I have owned one since 2018 and it is a fantastic car! It is more comfortable than Escalade (the suspension is much better), more space in the 3rd row (good for a 6'2" person on a 7 hour trip), reliable and good off-roader (drove it in over a foot of snow). I'm extremely satisfied!

I have a 2018 Navigator, more than 60k. I have no issues with my car. Regarding wireless charger: it does not work on Parking. Press D and it will work fine.

Note to Dealers (especially the one you bought it from): if I buy a car that doesnt start on that first day due to THEIR laziness or incompetence or shadyness or all three, I tell the delivery guy to take it back & cancel the order. Done.

Not a fan of Fords but all those issues sound like something a manufacturer would fix under warranty without kicking up a fuss. You'd likely have similar issues on most newer cars

Something doesn’t add up here. Was this Navigator purchased used? Rebuilt or flood title? High mileage? He certainly left out some important details. All of these issues would be covered under warranty. Our Lincoln dealer rolls out the red carpet for its customers. Heck, they’ll even come pick up your vehicle for service and drop off a loaner at your home or office. This certainly cannot be taken as a credible review.

this dude is super patient, a car is doa, they gotta take it back...especially one that cost so much money....

We are the proud owners of our own 2018 Navigator Reserve L and consider your purchase unfortunate. The L gives us sufficient trunk space. However, we have never had an adverse experience with it except the wireless charger and that seems to have been resolved.

In fact all factory issues sent to our Navigator AP were expediently resolved. So sorry for your experience. Having owned Infinity models, I love our Navigator.

I have had 6 Navigators and just bought a 2023 and its amazing. Everything works and its incredible. Best car I have ever had. I also owned 4 Porsches including a [2012 911 turbo S] and like my Lincoln way more. This 2023 Lincoln Navigator reserve is the best SUV I have ever driven. It basically drives itself. Literally, "with the hands free". I cant wait to wake up every morning to drive my car. It has plenty of room in the back and it even massages my back while I'm driving. Wireless charger is perfect and the apple play is easy to use. Kudos to Lincoln for making the best SUV every made. It is a delight to drive this SUV every day. Disclosures - none. I don't have any relation to Lincoln or any of their dealers. I don't have a youtube channel or make any money on social media. Lincoln have never given me anything except free coffee at the dealer when I take the car for service.

The wireless charging pad issue is due to iPhones with MagSafe not being compatible. Any iPhone 12 and above will have this problem. I tried my Samsung phone and that worked perfectly fine.

I personally would be leery about buying anything assembled during the pandemic. I’m not sure what the actual manufacturer date is on this particular truck, but with supply shortages, labor shortages and products being rushed through the final quality checks I would definitely be leery about buying anything without first seeing it in person and checking it out.

[slamandgo]

I think the seller took advantage of you since the car was being delivered. This was prob their worst car on the lot and had to get rid of it somehow. My family had a navigator as well and it worked great except the lack of trunk space. It’s always a good idea to hire a mechanic to check everything out if you are getting your car delivered to you from elsewhere. Good stuff tho Ryan👏🏽

What kind of person buys an expensive luxury vehicle, notices problems, and doesn't have the dealer fix it immediately? Then just bends over and takes it when the dealer says some protective film voids the warranty. It was ~2 years old, so it should all be under warranty. Something doesn't add up.

The camera issues seems to be a common problem with many Ford and Lincoln vehicles. Hopefully they have a fix for it by now.

[arunkapur]

Own 2018 Navigator L and have had no issues - overall works fantastic, unfortunately seems like you got a Lemon

[randomuser]

D bag bought it for a tax write off.. then completed about trunk space umm fold the 3rd row you never use or need problem solved

[Eric_In_SF]

Unsubbed. Tired of these thumbnails that looks like you just got the shocker.

[hypertank]

I must say, other than the "limp mode" fuel pump issue, I don't see much to complain about. The phone charger issue could if fact be your phone rather than the vehicle, maybe not? Something could have happened to the mirror at any time, and if someone was doing something with it to alter its appearance, well?? However they should cover it under warranty. The rear camera is a software update or camera replacement, again warranty. I am sure this was purchased new???? You have comp "pick up and delivery" use it and it takes no time out of your life. Look, with any issues you may have encountered, it is still the KING OF THE HILL IN LUXURY SUVS!!

Never listen to someone with blue hair.

[MrNOAH]

Such a shame because they made a great vehicle. It would appear that you were unfortunate to possibly get a vehicle that was caught up in the issues that Ford had at some of their factories a year or so ago. I bet that's exactly what happened. What sucks is that the dealer leaves you hanging. I would contact Ford directly and see what they do. To be fair, Tesla also has some quality control issues. It happens in the industry. Again, unfortunately.

Had an 06 Navigator back in the day, drove it 170, 000 miles, no problems and loved it!! Was thinking of getting another one, out of nostalgia, thanks for saving me the time and money. Should have already learned my lesson with ford and my Raptor that’s been nothing but engine problems since day one!!

[coolcutta]

Never had any any of those issues with my Navi!!!
Looks like you got a wrecked Navi, that someone had their janky shop fix..Seems like the Dealer played you for that amazing deal you got... Sounds like a Rebuilt title to me lol
