navigation.. is it worth it?

i'm in the market to get my g35 right now.

im looking for 05+ and max price being 16k(maybe a tad more).
def want black or grey ext, with black int.
has to be manual.
now this is where im stuck. im wanting the sunroof, and navigation as well.
but i can only seem to find cars in my range with on or the other.

im eventually going to do a car pc anyways, within the first few months of me having the g, but is it worth the navigation if im doing that?
should i wait for what i want, or settle for one or the other?

if you're going to do car pc you can always get nav w/ that and there's no point of having 2 navs.

not really.. I have an 05 nav, so not sure about the newer years but it doesnt have traffic or really anything.. it can show you like atms or gas stations I guess but they are limited and it would probably be quicker to look for a sign if you're on the freeway

It's easier to add a Garmin or other GPS than a sunroof. I wouldn't stick to the GPS requirement if it was me.

you could always do the double din conversion because your indash cd changer will break and buy a better indash navi/receiver.

It's nice having a stock navigation that is flush with the car, but the only use I have for it is the MPG. I still use my Mio GPS that I bought a year ago because the features are a lot better.
