Make sure that you are using the right gas to get the best drive out of the vehicle.
I love the size of the vehicle because I like SUVs. The look of the truck, both interior and exterior are appealing to me. It also drives very nice.

Lincoln aviator great family vehicle. Has great space for the kids.
My car is great. Really have not had any issues with it. I have had my car for 4 years and no problems. My car has leather seats and very comfortable family vehicle. I have three boys and we fit perfectly fine. It is easy to clean due to the leather seating.

Humble, homey, and it drives well
It feels like you are driving a higher end car yet it's humble. I love how it's not too hard to take care of and it gets me where I need to be.

It's part of a car club in Springfield, MO.
I love that it has a 3rd row and heated seats and all leather. I hate that I have no trunk space and not to fond of the color.

An SUV that has style and works great.
I love this car. . . Has many extras. It is great when you are a mom, it has a DVD player, air-conditioning, leather seats and third row seats. Even though is an old car it drives like new. Has sunroof and it looks very up to date. Is an SUV that does not break down or has major issues. I love it.

That my car is really old and that is the only thing bad about it is it is old.
My car the leaking is alright but I can have it better my car sometimes runs low on gas and than when I pee it is only half of it and that is all about my Lincoln I had that making for about 2 years now has given up on me but I thing I know it is going to give up on me like about 2 more years so and the engine is kind of torn up that is why I think it is about my Lincoln is bad.

I purchased it used and it is very roomy. It has a DVD player in it that is wonderful for the grandchildren when traveling. Headlight bulbs are very expensive though.
Lincoln does not make an Aviator vehicle anymore so most parts are hard to find. I did have a problem with the sunroof coming off the track when a big truck went by me.

My vehicle and it minor problem. It is work and get me where I need to be.
I really do not have any vehicle problems at the moment. It is reliable for the most part. It does need a oil change. And it also need wheel bearings . It has Bluetooth and sound system. It has leather interior. It is a older car with minor issues. It also has over 300, 000 miles on the car as well.

Lincoln ls good car drives smooth once issues are fixed.
It is an older used car which can make it very unreliable at times had to buy a new battery gas line thermostat and towing costs and labor costs for bringing it to the shop always needs work tires always give out because the car needs new control arms.
accountCircle Kristen C
It is a very smooth ride. Love all the extra features. One downfall is that it is expensive to fix.
Very smooth ride and takes premium gasoline. Doesn't get very good gas mileage.
accountCircle Kimberly H
It's a mid size vehicle. There are two rows of seats in the back.
The size within the vehicle is very spacious, there are 8 seats in total. The seats are leather, and pretty comfortable. Although the seats can be damaged easily. You can save in gas, because it's economic. So it can last on the road for a while before needing to fill up again. The trunk is large when you put down the last row of seats. There is a sensor for when you are backing up, although my sensor doesn't work all the time. There is a decent view while driving. The cable of the shifter got damaged, so the shift would not move. The max sensor was damaged, so the air flow wasn't good. It caused the vehicle to shake while driving.

When replacing headlights get them online. Because if you get them from a store front you will pay upwards of one hundred dollars. When online you can get them for around twenty
I like it has enough room to fit 6 people. I like that it is very stylish and I get a lot of compliments, I don't like that it eats a lot of gas.

Yes, I like that it has air conditioned and heated seats. I also appreciate the third row seating and space.
Jolie F.
Yes. It is amazing. It is reliable and works well for my family. My only issue is the excessive use of gas.
Roma K.

How Reliable Is The 2004 Lincoln Aviator?

Overall, yes. The back window lift has cracked on many Lincoln Aviators. I have actually seen cracks in the same spot on others. I have had exhausted issues, but that has been the only major issue.
Chris R.
It's reliable but it eats up a lot of gas. It's also not that easy to keep clean unless you have a very good cleaner

Is The 2004 Lincoln Aviator A Good Value?

I bought mine used for $9,000. It has been worth the money. If I were to buy a new car I could not afford a new Lincoln Aviator.
Rebecca B.
My Aviator cost me $23,000 when I first purchased it. It's a good value because it is a luxury car. Cheaper than most but still really nice.
