Congrats, I would have held out till I found one with Nav for that price. I've always found it odd that the flagship LS430 model didn't make nav a standard feature. It should have atleast been standard starting in 2004.

The CD changer without nav is standard. You have a premium with parking sensors and heated rear seats, too. (Rear seat heat switches are inside the armrest.)

Wow this is brilliant!! Now I just need to convince my prof that that Adam and Eve did indeed own a LS430 in the abridged version of the book...

OP, Any pics yet? Waiting to see this beauty!

This is a good point. The S-class, A8, 7 series, etc all have nav as standard now. But then again, they cost a lot more too. Maybe Lexus is still trying mimic the LS400: match the competitors in refinement and luxury but undercut their pricing a bit.
