What Lincoln Aviator do most buyers choose?

The Lincoln Aviator years with the most listings are 2022, 2023, and 2021.

These higher-volume years tend to be the easiest places to shop because you get more inventory to compare and a better chance of finding the right trim, colour, and equipment mix. They also tend to attract more deal-priced listings, which helps if you want stronger value.

What is the Lincoln Aviator's resale value?

The Aviator’s prices are down across every model year shown, and the declines are all in double digits. That creates a favourable setup for used buyers, especially if you want a newer model year at a lower price than it carried a year ago.

The 2024, 2022, and 2020 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
