Do you really think that just by calling it "standard" you will somehow pay less for it??? What planet are you living on? What's the difference whether you pay $3000 for an "option" or you pay a base price that is $3000 higher for a "standard feature". Regardless of how they market it, you better believe you're going to pay for it in the end. And if, as you say, it's so hard to get a car without it, then it is in fact, the standard version, you just have itemized charges.

You're just getting caught up in semantics.

Anyone remember the NAV on the LS400? Not only are they now woefully outdated and near unusable but if you were in the market for a used LS today you would almost certainly want one WITHOUT NAV since so many other important systems (audio, trip and climate) are tied to them. When the NAV goes out so does a lot of other stuff.

May not seem relevant now... and really isnt, but in another 10+ years it will interesting to see how desirable a non NAV 460 might be

I had a chance to buy a non-nav LS while I was looking but that also meant no backup camera or ML.

The LS460 without nav should be called the LS450. It's such an important part. It is very simple to use and worth the extra bucks. Don't leave home without it.

Non-Nav LS460s are very uncommon, and I have only ever seen a handful of 07s equipped this way.

Buying a high end luxury vehicle like the LS should come fully loaded. The nav was optional on the older LS but standard on the newer LS's. The nav used to be an expensive option but now practical and a low cost option in economy vehicles. I wonder do customers order Bentleys without leather and wood?

Mmmm, there are two listed, one CPO and one used. Which one is special? I couldn't tell from the descriptions - they seem common....

OTOH, the mica red LS sport looks gorgeous. My 2012 LS was that color and pretty special

BTW, another UL just showed up. Looks awesome!

The 600!

I know that gold car... it was serviced with us. Very tough color to sell in an LS.

I've been driving the red F-Sport... I love F-Sport LSs
