IMHO you get good and bad in all of them. Ford, Chevy, they all have issues specific to them, most of which result from a lack of regular maintenance, etc. There are those lemons out there that are never right.

As for which is "Better", that is an opinion based question and in the end it is up to what makes you all tingly inside when you are sitting behind the wheel.

Good luck finding a good one regardless of what you choose.

IMO... The 03-06 Navigator interior is ****... Up to 07 gm interiors were all the same and crap. Anybody can claim they've had a new car in the shop but I know a lot of people that do that are just unrealistic complainers. They purchase a car then later decide they really wanted something else so they pick apart the car they have in hopes to get the lemon law. I've found 03-04 navi's for 8-10 grand down here with less than 75k. But honestly you know what you want, just find that deal you can't pass up regardless of what it is.

Thanks for the info....What year the Navi's change after the "03-04" body style? I too seen a few low mileage ones in the same range....Then I seen a few with the same mileage for about 12K that were showroom mint! Well according to the pics that I seen anyway.

I surely havent ruled out the Escalades yet but they seem to be harder to find with low miles and about 3K more for same year/mileage.

I think it was 07 when the body style changed but the interior stayed basically the same. I'm pretty sure the 04 is when they went to the 6 speed tranny and revised 5.4 heads. I'm sure resale value is a little worse on the gator but a lot of the ones I've seen are owned by older couples instead of people trying to pimp them out. My friend has the Mark LT and its a super quiet plush ride. They are hard To find but the dark grey ones with black leather was what I was looking for

Depends on how fast you want to get rid of it... Could see It going for 65ish but probably be gone in a few days for lil over 5g

Yeah, down south (texas/florida) seems these trucks (any year) sell for much less then here in the tri state area, then there are 2wd models which are another 1500-2500 less.....A few trucks that I found with low mileage all were in those two states....But I am not about to lose a few days work, pay for a plane ticket then 300 gas and tolls to get it back here. Then again having an out of state car may be well worth it. I have to see......IDK
