Default Buying in Canada..

Hi, I'm interested in buying a IS350 soon and I'm wondering if it's possible to get the sport package + navi + ML in Canada. Maybe someone who bought one here can help me out..
( I can't choose those options combined on the website. )

Thanks

It's not possible. Sport package and Lux package w/nav are seperate options.

Is it true that the RWD IS250 can't be equipped with Navi? While on the other hand the AWD IS250 fully equipped has Navi.

On lexus.ca i can't seem to put an IS250 with Navi

One of my co-worker is considering buying a is350 for his father in Vancouver. He did some research and found that there are some dealership in Canada that will buy a car for you in US and then transfer it to Canada. You will be able to save a few thousand Canadians. If you do it that way, you can order a sports package with Navi/ML. That is the car that I have.

When I checked about that. importing a car to canada ins very cost prohibitive. GST (7%), PST (5%-11%), Duty (6%), plus DOT inspection fees and modifications requirements (speedo/odo/indicator gauge symbols). Definitely NOT worth it, unless you really, really want it.

How will this save any Canadians (people)?
