Which used car is better?

Hi,

Please understand, this is a hard question to answer without knowing the history of the vehicles or present conditions. However, here is how I feel. Both vehicles are excellent vehicles. If both were equal in condition, I suspect I would select the Lincoln. And from personal experience, I can tell you the Navigator won't do too good on fuel, but the Nissan will likely do worse. I had a Lincoln and a Titan, which is the truck version of the Armada. It loved fuel.

Both vehicles commonly have issues with exhaust manifolds leaking. The Nissan is known for them to actually crack which is a big repair. As far as the Lincoln, pay attention to see if you notice a ticking from under the hood which could indicate a manifold leak. One more thought. If you decide on the Lincoln, have the seller have the spark plugs replaced for you. They are known to have issues with the threads in the cylinder head to strip. If that happens, it is expensive to repair, so let them take the chance.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have specific questions.

Take care,

Joe

Hi,

The Lincoln is basically a glorified version of the Expedition. Lincoln is manufactured by Ford. Both are good vehicles with similar issues.

As far as the flex fuel, it won't hurt anything. I personally won't use it, but it's nice to know the vehicle can if needed. Flex fuel is a mixture of gasoline and up to 83% ethanol. Usually, it is less expensive, but you will lose fuel economy.

Let me know what you decide and if you have questions. I'm interested in knowing.

Take care,

Joe

You are very welcome. Take care of yourself and please feel free to come back anytime in the future if you have questions.

Take care and let me know your final decision.
