Lincoln navigator 2004/5

Question

anyone have one?

is so, how much do you usly spend on gas a week and how much do you drive.

ALSO

do you use premium or regular gas, cause i heard you can use regular?

Are the gas prices for this car really bad?

Answer 1

My neighbor has one (2004) and he spends about $700 a month on gas. Thats $8400 a year just for gas!! Its a very heavy and very thirsty truck.  I would avoid getting one because not only will the fuel costs hurt your pocket, the repair bills will hurt you even more.  It would take me a long time to list all the problems he has had with it despite the fact that he maintains it very well.  Problems like faulty fuel pump, faulty wiper motor, interior lights that never shut off (draining the battery) front wheel bearings replaced 3 times!! and premature wear of the front shocks (because its so heavy)  Those are just a few of the problems, he has been trying now for over a year to sell it, but no offers.  Buying a full size V8 SUV these days is not smart.  You can find luxury trucks used very cheap these days, but it will cost you alot of money to keep it, and even more money when you want to sell it.

Answer 2

For a full size luxury SUV, you cant beat a Navigator. Yes, they're thirsty, but that's normal for the segment. The 05's have a 3 Valve engine with a 6 speed trans and regular gas recommended, so you will get a little better mileage, but will spend more. The 04's have a 4V engine, bit will run you about 3-5K less. Look for a certified one at a Lincoln dealer because it will have a factory 100,000 mile warranty.

Answer 3

I sold Ford, Lincoln/Mercury's for over a decade. All Expeditions and Navigators get between approx. 15-20 mpg and regular gas in the best thing for these vehicles.

Answer 4

there's a big differences between the o4 and 05 the o5 has many improvements but even it doesn't get the best gas mileage.  If you don't drive a lot the gas isn't that big a deal and of course compare ito what you drive now.  Chances are you will pay $30 to $50 more a week on average so it might be worth it to you.
