Lincoln Aviator Depreciation & Resale Value

Lincoln Aviator keeps an estimated 57% of its original MSRP after 5 years — #263 of 530 cars VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.

Per VINdown's modeling, the Lincoln Aviator retains an estimated 57% of its original MSRP after five years, ranking #263 of 530 cars we track. That is 3 points above the 54% five-year average for Luxury in its class, so it holds value better than most rivals.

Most of the loss lands early: the Lincoln Aviator sheds about 8% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $56,910 it falls to around $32,495 by year five — a five-year loss near $24,415, about $13.38 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Lincoln Aviator bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
