It’s essentially the last air cooled 911. Get it while you still can.

One new navigator on a car transporter all by itself. I wonder where it’s going.

You can take my carpeted plastic pickup-bed-shaped giant trunk from my cold dead hands. I mean, if I had one.

I used to work at a truck accessories place. you would be amazed with how many people, add a fiberglass lid or cap, with carpet, and carpet the bed.

Lol, it’s probably one day old. Don’t think it qualifies yet.

I probably would be amazed. Like I get it, but also just don’t.

Any other full size SUV please. Hell, it makes a Sequoia look fresh.

Well at least they finally replaced it.

I have an Air-Cooled 911. I’ve owned it for a while. I’ve grown to appreciate its charms, unique behaviors and idiosyncrasies.

That Navigator...it’s no Air-Cooled 911.

But what if it’s actually a 993 with full width tail lights? You can see it right?! Third body style, subtle refreshes, them wide lights. Pretty much the same car.

For all the “creeping elegance / changes” of the 993, it’s also not a 911.

This is OPPO...you know better then that.

Don’t try to talk your way out of that 1960's greenhouse. It’s no better than Volvo or Saab in that respect.

How about I let them keep the Navi, but they give my F100 a paint job. Deal?

I’m okay with that. Pretty good compromise.

In the early 2000's, I couldn’t go more than three blocks without seeing an Expediton of Navigator. It’s insane how popular they once were.

I still see “new” ones all of the time, but Detroit is the most biased place when it comes to buying cars. Hell, I see an Aspen like everyday.

Depending on what you’re hauling a bed carpet can make a lot of sense. And if you get the right one, they *can* *apparently* offer more protection than a bedliner.

...that said I’ll stick to a bedliner thanks

My Dad built these when they were at Michigan Truck Plant.

and they are such horrendous crap they’ve all been scrapped. I mean, I dont see them anymore, where did they go?

such a waste, both when new and now

It’s not a great vehicle for this area anyways.

I seem to recall something about owners holding onto them for a long time though.

It is the anti-air cooled 911. Instead of being bouyed into 7-8 figure pricetag territory by rareness and desirability, it is beyond ubiquitous, and so undesirable, its parent company forgot to sell it. I wonder if they’d even bother with the police if it got stolen. “Oh well, at least it’s gone now. Finally...”

Was behind a Navigator and a MKX through a huge chunk of Oklahoma yesterday. They clearly were traveling together, and an Acura RDX decided to hop in line before they got to me. Well, I couldn’t let 3 crossovers/SUVs pass me in the Mustang, so I jumped into the convoy and, well, let’s just say we slightly exceeded the speed limit all the way through the great state of Oklahoma.

I totally forgot about the Aspen and agree Detroit is the only place to see “ALL” of the vehicles

That’s not a picture of a 1998 navigator.. it’s alot newer then that. At least 2007 if not newer. I have a 2000 navigator which has the same body style as the 1998 and it looks nothing like that!
