Why Should You Buy a Used Lincoln Nautilus?
Cost Savings
New vehicles are known to depreciate rapidly, with most losing up to 20% of their value in the first year and about 15% annually over the next four to five years. A new 2025 Nautilus starts at $53,485, and a 2022 model averages $41,161, saving you over $12,000. Opting for a used model also opens the door to higher trims with premium features, like the Black Label trim option. You can save even more by trading in your current vehicle.
Is the Lincoln Nautilus Reliable?
The Nautilus has a good reputation for reliability, with the J.D. Power survey scoring the 2022 model an impressive 88 out of 100 for quality and longevity. Online owner reviews offer consistent praise for the model's smooth performance and durability.
Warranty and Certified Pre-Owned Options
Lincoln's Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) program offers peace of mind for buyers looking for both value and assurance. Each CPO Nautilus undergoes a rigorous 200-point inspection and includes a limited warranty covering over 1,000 components. Additional perks include:
- 24/7 roadside assistance for towing, fuel delivery, and lockout services
- CARFAX vehicle history reports to uncover any hidden past issues
- Lincoln Access Rewards Points, which can be redeemed for maintenance or service
- Warranty transferability to future owners, adding resale value and appeal

Positive Customer Reviews of the Lincoln Nautilus
It's nothing Riser Lincoln loves more than bringing our customers exceptional services and experiences. Here are some customer reviews on their used Lincoln Nautilus:
One owner shared, "Sitting in this vehicle is like sitting on the bridge of the Enterprise Space Ship. It is the most beautiful and feature-rich vehicle I have ever purchased. And I've owned a BMW and a Mercedes-Benz. This 2022 Nautilus is by far the best vehicle I have ever owned."
Another customer added, "This is my third Lincoln, and I am still excited and happy to still be a Lincoln owner. I've owned my Nautilus for just over a year and bought it after my first test drive. The vehicle is super quiet, comfortable, and has plenty of pep when needed. I feel the style is great and the redesigned interior striking. I love the sound system and the large display screen. My other Lincolns all had over 100,000 carefree miles, and I anticipate the same with the Nautilus. There have been no warranty issues, and so far, the only service needed has been normal maintenance. I would highly recommend this vehicle to family and friends."
