Yes it is, but both is even better.

Yep, models with heated seats are easy to find. Models with the NAV aren't. You should find one with no problem.

I have had a hell of a time finding one with just the cold weather package.

Yeah, the cold weather package does make a difference. In the winter the heated steering wheel is probably the best feature. Heated rear seats are nice for passengers too. Here’s one in your area – it’s a Black on Black 2002 with the cold weather package. You should be able to get this dealership to lower the price a lot. Blue Book on this model in excellent condition is only $17,275. If it has any of the basic warranty left you can buy the extended warranty from Infiniti that’ll cover it for several more years. You can negotiate the price of that warranty too.

You kidding?? I never use the heated steering wheel. I thought it was kind silly, but having heated seats for the rear I think is good. People riding in my car use it all the time

Haha! I used to think the same thing about the heated wheel. I live in San Diego, and since the I35 is the 3rd car, it's parked outside. There were a couple of mornings where the dash read 29/ICY. I used the heated wheel on those occasions. Must be my SoCal blood not liking the "cold."

I also have some passengers that love the heated rear seats. My mother-in-law who has back issues is one of them. The heated rears are one of the options I was very surprised to see on a car of this class.

Same thing for late night winter driving when you get in the car, it's below freezing outside, and the wheel is ice cold. The heated wheel makes driving way more comfortable. The heated rears are a pure luxury feature. Competitors in this class still don't offer it.

Yep. Right now you can find good deals on 2004 models coming off lease programs with low miles on them.

Well I found one today with low miles, but the headlights are fogged up near the top on both sides. Trying to see if I can find just the headlamp without the whole assembly from anywhere. The whole assembly is about 900.

It's not that hard to clear up the lenses. There are a couple threads in the detailing forum about it.

Essentially, it's nothing that some wetsanding with fine sandpaper and/or polishing with various plastic polishes can't fix.

Yeah I saw some of the threads, looks easy enough. Another issue is that car had some spots on it that needed to be repainted, some curb rash on some wheels. I am going to check carfax to see if it has been in any accident.
