When you scan the fullsize luxury section of the sportutility landscape, you may be surprised to find that there's only one serious offering with Made In America stamped on its rocker panels. And it's even more surprising that this Yankee challenger comes from an automotive division that has never before tried its hand at trucks. Lincoln is obviously no stranger to luxury on a grand scale. The current Town Car sedan, a perennial favorite with limousine services, is the biggest passenger car sold in this country, and the magnificent Model K Lincolns of the early '30s all scaled in well north of 5000 pounds, many of them approaching the threeton frontier. But trucks? It's not as anomalous as it may seem at a glance. As a unit of the Ford Motor Company, the LincolnMercury division belongs to a company that leads the countryfor that matter, the planetin light truck expertise. The new Lincoln Navigator is yet another manifestation of that expertisesumptuous, silent and strong. Think of it as Arnold Schwarzenegger suited up for a night at the opera, a uniquely appealing blend of brute strength and uptown sophistication.
Purchasing an older vehicle, such as the 1998 Lincoln Navigator, makes good financial sense. You're able to avoid the steep depreciation rates that occur with brand new vehicles. This essentially gives you the advantage of getting a 1998 Lincoln Navigator for less money than when it was new. If the 1998 Lincoln Navigator was properly maintained, you also have a good chance of steering clear of problems that would have developed when the car was new.
The amount you pay for an older car depends on various factors. One important element is where you buy the vehicle. You're likely to get a better deal if you buy it from a private party, as opposed to a dealer. On the other hand, a reputable dealer will normally have some kind of limited warranty, so you can drive away knowing that if the car breaks down right away, you'll be covered. Another factor that may affect price on a 1998 Lincoln Navigator is whether it's "certified" by the manufacturer. A certified vehicle will cost more because warranty service is provided that normally doesn't come with a used car.
Another dynamic that will play into the purchase price is the resale value. A used vehicle with a high resale value will obviously cost you more. It is expected that the 1998 Lincoln Navigator will have a good resale value. This assumes that the 1998 Lincoln Navigator is in good condition and has a reasonable number of miles.
