What Owners are Saying About the 1998 Lincoln Navigator
"Best Vehicle I have owned"
"We bougt our Navi in Dec 1999, and have loved it ever since. Just wish the gas prices were the same. We have 4 kids and a Lab, and have plenty of room. Most importantly, I am a tall dude, and it is something that I can ride in comfortably. I have no intentions of letting it go ever, it hass 120k miles and still going strong and looking good. Buy one and you'll love it."
"Superb Vehicle"
"We bought this vehicle used 4 yrs. ago and loved it since the day we test drove it. It is quiet, comfortable and luxurious. The turning radius is the same as our VW Beetle. It handles and rides like a sadan. I test drove the Sequoia, Suburban, Escalade and they all rode like a truck. The only drawback is the gas mileage (13 mpg in town). Although it is pricey I would recommend buying used to make it more affordable. We have not had any repairs in the four yrs. except new brakes (to be expected). Hope I don't jinx us now!"
"my navigator"
"I have owned this navigator for over twenty years still runs good drive it to work daily. motor same trans same .needs a paint job, dents and bumps but one thing for sure its the most smooth, ride out there I would recommend the navigator to everyone out there."
