Ford is stopping production of the Excursion in '04 though, so anything is possible.

Also did order the 03 Ultimate with rear seat entertainment system. Price was just what they quoted it would be, to the penny for A-plan, also had X-plan pricing on the invoice, which was higher. Should be in within next six to eight weeks. (ordered as wife wanted this one to be red, which will go along with our white 00 and blue F150)
anyone heard the same?
thanks again
The rest of the car seems to be functional at this point. Frankly I am only driving it on weekends and out on trips. It burns so much fuel I went out and bought another economy car for my day to day driving. The gas saving pay for the other car. YES, I drive that much! What else, Yea, the plastic bag syndrome. At highway speeds the door panels sounded like plastic bags flapping in the wind. The dealer took off the plastic panels and siliconed to the door. Yea, cheezy, I know, but it worked! All is ok today, tommrow we shall see. Oh, Just want to mention that the folks at my dealer did bend over backward to help me. Credit where credit is due.
Cheers...
The magazine labeled the 02 gator "most improved" suv, and had general praise for the vehicle overall. As an 00 Navigator owner I'm curious to drive a new one to see if these improvements are as good as they say. I'm sorry I can't link you to the article.. I only have a hard copy of it.
I will post opinions later but I do have one question.
Apparently, Lincoln no longer supplies headphones with the DVD system (dealer showed me a service bulletin). Has anyone purchased/ installed wireless headphones? Is there any built-in IR in the DVD system for the headphones or do I need to get one installed? (if there is no built-in support, I was looking at the Clarion WH105 which are RF headphones - anyone know where to patch the system into as it has RCA inputs for left and right audio).
Thanks,
Scott
Thanks

What did you need to install to make them work? (or do they work out of the box). And what model did you buy?
Thanks,
Scott
I must give credit though, Lincoln service reps have always responded quickly and with courtesy to my truck's issues. My lease is up in 8 months and despite my concerns I am considering leasing an '03. I think the new Nav's look great inside and out and all the reviews I've been reading say that it drives and handles much better than my '00. I am also considering an '03 Expedition Eddie Bauer (same truck, less glitz and $$) or a Lexus LX 470 (have to streeeetch the budget to get that one though). My wife owns an RX 300 and it has been problem free and the service has been on par with Lincoln's.
I too am in the market, and as impressed as I am with the 03 Nav, I'm a little wary of the first year out syndrome, so since mine is so good to me, I may keep it and wait for the 04s. I've been looking around quite a bit....not found anything I like better for the money yet. I like the looks of the Escalade, but not the chevy truck interior and it lacks features. Great engine though. Lexus is too small, but very nice. Not a looker either IMO.
This dealer removed every last bit of plastic! We had no extra clean up to do. I was really impressed by the thoroughness.
I have only had one problem with the 00,the splice for the air suspension. I took it to the dealer where I bought it, and they "repaired" the splice. When we were out of town, it broke. Fortunately, the LM dealer there loaned us a town car to get back (170 miles). We keep it for two days after the repair was made and took it back, kind of at our leisure and exchanged for our "correctly repaired" 00. This dealer really went out of his way to help us, as this occurred on a Saturday afternoon, about 2PM. The only other situation has been the recall by General of the tires, and the selling dealer did get right on that, replaced all five within two weeks of verification that our tires were part of the recall.
I guess I am fortunate to have two dealers within 30 miles that care about past, present and future business, but they will have some competition from the guy 170 miles away from now on!!
Congrats, by the way.
If anyone else has experience with the Navigator's tires, please post.
I replaced my Contitracs with Goodrichs. The handling improved, but they're very hard to keep balanced. I say, no reason to try to duplicate the Continentals, if you even can. I think they discontinued those lines. Put on what you want.
Question, does any 03 owner out there have the GPS system? I've heard a range of comments about it from "it's a worthless jumbled etch-a-sketch wannabe" to "it functions just as good as the Lexus systems except with several discs instead of one DVD" -- what do you think?
Test drove the 2003 Ultimate and was extremely impressed with the ride.
Any suggestions from previous LC owners???
I have just never liked the Sequoia. It's a great vehicle, just not me.
I drove the 03 Nav the other day and was really impressed. There's not many SUV's that can compare to the ride of the LC, but the new Nav was really impressive. Much more so than my test drive in Escalade.
I can either keep my LC for another couple of years or get something new. I really wouldn't spend the differance between the Nav and a new LC; over 10K.
Thanks for your input.
