me myself i will get a CPO one with ML and nav
btw, for 01, if i am correct, they had either ML or nav, i thought you couldn't combine those options together? it's not until starting 02 that they came together as a package?
if it's just ML, then i don't think it's worth it. if it's nav + ML, then i would get it for sure
for the ML setup on the GS:

yes it has 6.5". and i *believe* the pionner has 4", correct me though

Thanks, Vette Boy. Based on what you found, it looks like ML and Nav have always been separate options. Maybe after 2001, it's that dealers always ordered both options together, because I was always told that for 2002+ cars, you either got both or neither.

Based on what I've read in other threads, I think it had to do with how the dealers tended to order GS430s for stocking their lots. They loaded them up because most folks that wanted the V8 wanted the GS loaded.

BTW I did just look at a 2002 430 that had just ML, not nav. It was probably one of the first 02's as it had a build of August 01 but it was definietly 2002 model year.
Must be rare though as it is the only 02+ I have ever seen with ML and nav separte.
Maybe I should buy is since it's such a rare combo for 02?

After 2001, however, those 2 options came together as a package (i.e., you couldn't get them separately). So after '01, either you have ML and Nav, or nothing at all. By the way, I don't think you could ever get nav without ML in any year. If someone understands it differently, please let us know.

if you go to lexus.com now and configure a lexus gs430, you can only configure it with ML AND dvd or nothing
not sure when this has become the case then
