It also has an older style dash in general, is this normal? It’s the only one I see like this from 2013 and up

I think its a base model without navigation

 

Looks like a premium with display audio, no nav.

Carfax shows commercial use, beware. And no service history.

 

Looks like it has no backup camera either? That's really going to hurt resale, I'd pass unless it's really cheap. I don't think I ever saw a single model equipped like the one pictured with that screen, I wonder if it was a Canadian-only thing?

Mine has the backup camera/screen and rotary ****, but no navigation. I actually like it better than the touchpad mouse with navigation. And I haven't really used a car's factory navigation system in a long, long time.

Still, I'll never understand luxury car manufacturing. You could buy a Garmin GPS for like $80 around that time that was better than anything Lexus offered with a nice big, bright screen. A decent sized infotainment screen with GPS should have been standard on every Lexus instead of some $2000+ option. Just cheapens the whole line to save a few bucks. I guess though it gives them a chance to upsell.

 

Yes, they had this configuration in the US as well, and it was a base model with no leather, just nu-lux. Yes, Lexus was cutting their nose to spite their face here. Cheap and stupid on their part to produce a car like this. NO display audio, NO back up camera, Voice activated only Bluetooth that does not display the contacts, call history, etc. And the bluetooth is a pain in the *** to use.
Ever put the vehicle in reverse and not rely on the back up camera??? It is scary. The sight lines in reversing the car are horrible, and the back up is a necessity in a vehicle like this.
I would stay the hell away from this vehicle.
