1998 Lincoln Navigator

MOST OVERRATED SUV EVER

By Joey (MD) on Thursday, April 26, 2012

I owned and sold this car
Reason: bad suspension, horrible gas mileage - My approximate mileage is 110,000

Pros: "comfy"

Cons: "MPG, dont even think of goin offroad with this"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 2

"the 98 model I owned was the biggest selling year for the Navigator, they sold 43,859 SUV's and ever since its been down hill from then, in 2011 they only sold 8,018 SUV's! Thats why you dont really see em around any more. Actions speak loder than words folks, and the people have spoken ;)"

Pros: "Navigators look great."

Cons: "Poor suspension design and expensive to repair."

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 1

"Navigators are totally overrated. Constant maintenance issues and expense. Will never buy a vehicle with air suspension again, not dependable and always wants to adjust suspension. Leather interior nice, but this one cracked much too early."

"I have an 02 lincoln navi limited addition, and its a really wonderful vehicle! It has been very reliable since I bought it to this day. It is really reliable on long distance trips. I visit to mexico alot and it fits all our suitcases and is comfertable the whole way! All I have put into my vehicle is just regular maintinance such as tune ups and tire changes when needed. The only thing that has been costly was changing the intake. The labor and part for this suv is pretty expensive. But well worth it!The only thing that is not so great about it is the mileage...eats up alot of gas. If you are looking for a gas saver this is not the car for you. But if gas prices are not a problem for you than this vehicle is great!!"

NEVER AGAIN!

By Des (MD) on Thursday, February 23, 2012

I owned and sold this car
Reason: LEMON,HIDEOUS GAS MILEAGE - My approximate mileage is 138,000

Pros: "NONE"

Cons: "EVERYTHING"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 1

"this sorry excuse for a vehicle was giving me problems the 1st month I got it off the lot. starting with this rediculous noise coming from the motor compartment "air compressor" for the so called "air suspension" wich at any moments notice always seem'd to lack air when you least expected it leaving my rear end sagging like I was trying to make some idiotic statement, this wasnt a "lowrider". the gas mileage on this vehicle is HIDEOUS!city 11 mpg and only 15 on highway! common if I would have known that then I would have gladly leased a -H*U*M*M*E*R- wich is 3 times the truck in appearance and comfort and I probably would have saved more money in general from unnecessary repairs n' maintenance. interior is tacky and fairly resembles a base expedition when overlooking the seating. overall my vehicle was a LEMON and that goes for most 98-99 models I hear."
