ALWAYS get the nav unless it forces you to buy a 5000 dollar package you don't want
As long as you can get the nav within 1-2 grand of what you're looking at, ALWAYS GET THE NAVIGATION in a Lexus.
For resale, I can not stress enough how badly I was hurt on my CT200h by not having the navigation. I had one person willing to take over my $535 a month lease on LeaseTrader, until they found out it didn't have navigation. I had another guy who wanted to buy the car on Craigslist, and he was all hot to trot about buying it and then he emailed me and said "by the way, i was looking over the photos again and couldn't see a nav screen in it"... And I said "that's because it doesn't have nav" and he said "oh, sorry I'm not interested any more".
When I went to trade it in at the dealer - same thing - they told me they had to give me less money because it didn't have navigation and people when buying a Lexus *EXPECT* to have nav when paying a premium for a luxury auto.
Plus, the nav screen just looks great. You will LOVE using Pandora on it, you can create new playlists using voice control!!! The pandora app is amazing, you don't even need to touch your phone. I am HOPING AND PRAYING that they add Spotify... that would be amazing.
