rmc523 Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Can we put this in the right forum? Oh, it is.....carry on. --- This isn't surprising news at all, and a good problem to have. If only the demand could spread to the rest of the lineup. Hopefully long term, Navigator will have a trickle down affect, helping to pull Lincoln's image upward ("well, I can't afford a Navigator, but look at that Nautilus, or look at that Aviator!"). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Makes you wonder why it took them so long to do it and why it's taking even longer to get an Aviator. (rhetorical question - we know the reasons). That's a lot of cash left on the table the last few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boredinbirmingham Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 As a new buyer to the brand the redesign was a huge reason for us to even look at the Navigator. We absolutely love the vehicle inside and out and my wife is now eyeing the Nautilus. The previous years styling screamed old person with gray hair and my wife and I are neither old or gray.

Pioneer Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Funny story. I know nobody will believe it, but I'll tell it anyway. An LL at my plant was going on and on about the company car he ordered for his wife. Was really excited about it. I don't know exactly what he ordered, but it was a Navigator that topped out at over $85k sticker. So, the day comes and his order finally came in and him and his wife go and pick it up. She hates it. He has to keep it for a year so his teenage daughter is driving it while she drives her old MkS. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And why would someone spend that much money for a car for their wife without showing them first? Geez! Idiots! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And why would someone spend that much money for a car for their wife without showing them first? Geez! Idiots! Insurance is included in the lease payment. When I was in high school I could only drive the lease, I wasnt on my parents insurance it was way cheaper for them. Its actually pretty common around Detroit to see really nice cars that teens drive from FCA, GM and Ford for this reason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
02MustangGT Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Insurance is included in the lease payment? I once leased a 99 Cougar and was not offered that option. Could be common to include GAP coverage on a lease, but I highly doubt leases include auto insurance (liability, collision, etc). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

02MustangGT Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Oh come on akriby, play along. At any rate, at leastt Volvo offers a subscription service that includes incsurance for the XC40 (which btw looks spectacular). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that is part of the lease deal on the company car (he did say he had to keep it a year)? I've never heard of that before though.

akirby Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Could be included - forgot about the 1 year company lease. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
630land Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Hope there's no $#$!# recalls from rushed builds. If someone is leasing a Navi, how much are they paying? Not full sticker. If they can afford it, so what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, should have clarified more with Ford Company LL with these leases insurance is included -- mileage is also unlimited, though they used to want them turned in if you got over 15K and pull up your next one. I think LL6 usually get 1 lease LL4 get 2 and 1 when they retire. The vehicles used to be sold on the B-lot in Dearborn rather than the auction, Ford closed the B-lot about 10 years ago as it cost $$ to operate and the Ford dealers around Metro Detroit HATED it.
