Originally, I inquired about a 350 without Nav, and was also told I had to special-order it since they just didn't make too many of them. A southern California dealer offered me $1k above invoice for the special order.

Wow. Hard to believe. As the cars on the dealer lots here are virtually ALL (95%) are Prem, no Nav, w/18's. Zero Sport, one or two Lux, and one or two with Nav/ML.

I don't know where you live, but in all of southern California, and in Washington state, Nav is on the majority of models.

Edit:

And for reference, I'm talking about Lexus of Mission Viejo, Lexus of Tustin, Lexus of Beverly Hills, Lexus of Cerritos, lexus of Westminster, Lexus of Seattle, Lexus of Tacoma and Lexus of Bellevue. I just went to the Lexus of Seattle lot, and about 85% of their IS's were Sport with Nav/ML, one or two were Luxury with Nav/ML, one or two were Premium with Nav, and none were Premium without Nav.
