Navigation Worth it?

I'm looking at a loaded g35 sedan for 38k msrp. The lease difference in price per month is about 100 from just a premium package.

Are you guys that have it enjoying it?

I really just need the bluetooth for my treo phone....however Ive never had a car with navigation, thought it might be nice.

It is used for everything else.

Climate control, audio control, car information, bluetooth, etc...

The 07 G is my first car with Navigation and I LOVE it. I probably won't own another vehicle without it.

I would recommend the navigation, the graphics are amazing and it is very intuitive. The navigation also gets you a touchscreen as opposed to a regular LCD. The compact flash card slot and music box are great too, even though the car has an RCA input I have yet to try my ipod in the car because the CF card is fully integrated into the regular radio controls.

If you choose to skip the navigation option the LCD is for all settings, bluetooth, climate control, information screens (fuel economy, maintenence etc.), and its the display for the audio system.

LOL we haven't washed it yet... only picked it up last weekend. However, it is FILTHY. for the washing routine, just before Summer we hand wash the exterior and interior, and just before fall we do the same. In between we usually just do gas station washes, and occasionally we get someone else to hand wash it.

Can't wait to see the pics....

I didn't go for the Nav because then you have almost no room to talk about the price. (I got my Sport with Prem, spalsh, and trunk net for 34,800- Msrp was 36,690) WIth so few sports with Nav, you might have a hard time finding a dealer willing to cut the price.

I don't really need the nav because I have Verizon nav on my phone I can do most everything any other nav system can. But I am sure that the nav fun to have and would add to the resale value. I was just tryin to get a great car for the best price.

What about trying to go journey with Nav?
