Check what kind of financing options you have before you buy. I think 29k is too expensive. The '08s were really late model '07s and now they are about 3 1/2 years old. I would try to goto 20. It' not likely they are going to find a buyer at such a high rate for a used car; especially in this economy.

And 29k is a great deal on that car if its in good condition. I say jump on it if its the right color. You can do a lot of things to integrate Navi into your factory LCD like all these folks have said. Have fun and you won't regret it!!

I disagree with everyone in this thread LOL
I love my built-in navi and couldnt imagine the car without it. The fact that the screen is touchscreen alone makes it worth it. And im pretty sure you only get the backup camera with the nav pkg.
that garmin unit is pretty cool if you dont have factory nav, but its still not touch screen, you gotta do everything with a remote. meh.

I would not buy the car without factory nav. The factory nav is an awesome system. Yes, you could work a Garmin into the car, but its functionality is going to be limited and won't have all of the features that the OEM system has. I'd personally buy a car with Nav in it already, but thats just me.

Will not work, the g37 screen will not display video unless the vehicle is not moving and the e-brake applied. It will allow audio through RCA jacks while the car is in motion though. What that person is talking about is not allowed to be discussed here and illegal in most states.

also, you can get a peripheral device that will allow you to add a backup camera when you hit reverse and switch to nav when you toggle a switch, without modding the "illegal thing we arent allowed to mention"

And with the money he saves I'm pretty sure he can install the factory navi and still be under what the price of the car should be. Atleast i think so, I didn't crunch any numbers for that...
