We don't have the nav. but have the seats and the lights. We have the nav in the SC. We have a hand held nav unit (garman) that we bought when we owned our first ES, so we didn't really want to spend the extra for having it in the car. A plus for the hand held, it goes from vehicle to vehicle and you can take it walking if you want. Can't do that with the ones installed in the cars.

i wud say. a built in NAV is a great plus.. particularly if it is integrated with the audio system and backup camera.. gone are the days when a handheld NAV costed 300-500.. now u can get a good 3.5 inch nav with built in battery for 60 bucks.. just check the deals on fatwallet, spoofee , dealsea , etc. and I hated the wires for a handheld. always falling all around the place..

so I have to agree with the posts who said. if buying a 2nd hand car, might as well go in for a LOADED car.. as it is partially depreciated..

Default options

go for it. I spent extra for the Ultra and love the extra options which I got at a very low cost. the NAV works fine and the ventilated seats are great I have recently learned you need to set the vents to floor/front mix with the AC on to get the best cooling

the back up camera, rear shade parking assist are all what make the Lexus a Lexus. all my passengers love it. When I use my work car I automatically look at the dash when I am backing up and guess what no rear camera so I have definately gotten used to it

hope this helps
