I just bought a 2004 Navigator Ultimate with 130k miles. Red over grey. I briefly had a 2003 Navigator a few years ago that I bought cheap but was a total basket case. This one is in great shape with only two owners. The only issues I have found are one seat motor that's not working, and the rear gate motor is acting up.
After the fiasco with the last Navigator I tested everything. Air conditioned and heated seats, all the windows, the PDC, stereo,, sunroof, lights, AC, etc. The PO obviously took care of it.
It's totally loaded with the auto running boards, rear buckets, navigation, HID lights, tow package, chrome wheels, PDC and more. I found the window sticker in the glovebox which was a nice surprise.
I don't have any major plans for it other than cleaning it up, making it reliable and trying to squeeze 5-10% better fuel economy out of it. It will be mostly used for towing and long road trips.
I'm guessing the ultimate is the top of the line model for navi?
Yes the Ultimate was the top model. Here's the window sticker for future reference.
I went back and forth between getting one with the 6 speed transmission, or the earlier 4V engine that this one has. I decided just to buy whatever was in the best condition. Other than the rear tailgate not working everything else does surprisingly!
Sounds like you did the same thing we did.
Ours is loaded only missing the navigation (which considering it's 13 years old didn't really bother me, though I find it mildly ironic that navigation wasn't standard on a Navigator).
Put almost 10k on ours since purchase the day before Thanksgiving last year.. it was also a 2 owner, 146k mile (with full dealer service records past 120k).
Yours looks to be in a little better shape, the chrome on our door handles, and console lids is flaking somewhat, and some of the silver painted pieces are a little stained.
Platform wise these things are tanks... 4R100, the 32v doesn't have any "known issues" that I've been able to find, and the air suspension is really nice if it works.
Towed our 24' travel trailer from NC to PA and back with no issues other than fuel mileage.
I miss the 44 gallon fuel tank our '99 Suburban had, the 26 gallon in the Navigator @14-16mpg has a shorter range than I'd like but overall we love it.
