Default New Lexus buyer of IS 250 FSport...Need help

I really want this car, but the payments are a little too high right now. I negotiated with the dealer and the best deal they can give me is $399/month for 36 months with $4,000 down. The thing is, I do not need the navigation package...and they're persistent on that being apart of the Fsport package but it looks optional to me.....is that accurate? If I can get rid of the nav i'm sure my payments will come down further...what do you guys think and thank you!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure it's integrated into the F-Sport package.

There's definitely more room to play with on the 250 then the 350's. But navi is standard and not an option on Fsport package. When shopping for my 350F It was either fully loaded or base, nothing more.

I have seen F-Sport models without navigation before.

As you can see here in this picture, there is no mouse which indicates no navigation and it is an F-Sport.

Nice. I'm just basing my observations on the US market. That could be a non-US spec IS.

The picture is a US market IS250 F-Sport. It's a friend of mine.

No Nav on an F SPort is possible, just really really rare

I know that there's a member on here with a fsport without nav in Canada. It might depend on which country you're in..

Fwiw, $399 is unheard of for a car like this in Canada unless you make a very hefty down payment.. I would say it would need to be at least $10k. Even to get this car under $650 is a challenge (350 at least)

lexus mostly makes the cars a certain way and that is what they send to dealers... if you want lower payments you must put more down or sign a lease.

I will rather not pay for NAV. Just my .02

here is what I base it on and keep in mind that you must be happy with what you get.

my I phone has a nav and I can have it connected to IS 250 no nav .

the price for navigation is a rip off in my opinion. I were to do it all over again and not in a hurry when I bought my IS I would have gone
IS350
NO NAV
RED interior which req F-sport.

the mouse for the nav takes away the perfect spot for my phone so no nav is better for me.
