Eyeing a used Navigator but the electronics are making me nervous, worth getting a specialist to look at it?

    Been going back and forth on this 2021 Navigator Reserve I found with crazy low miles and the interior is like a lounge on wheels which is exactly what I need for the family hauls but I've spent enough time on the forums to know these things can turn into an electrical nightmare if something's off with the infotainment or the air suspension modules. The seller seems honest but he's not the first owner and the service records are a bit patchy for my liking so I started looking for someone who does a proper Lincoln luxury vehicle inspection service instead of just a quick visual glance and a code scan. Exotic Auto Services popped up with a pretty detailed checklist that covers all the adaptive suspension stuff and the power running boards which I know can be a pain if they've been banged up. I guess I'm just trying to figure out if it's overkill to get this level of inspection on what is essentially a fancy Ford or if I'm being smart because I really don't want to be the guy posting in six months about a dead SYNC screen and a suspension compressor that sounds like a dying animal. Anyone else bought a used Navigator or Aviator here and found a PPI actually saved them from a headache?
