As long as I don't have to pay obscene amounts for navigation, especially in the car, I don't mind.

In my Mazda, I only had to buy a $30 SD card from Ebay to make navigation functional

If I were you, I would stop buying random SD cards from the internet and connect to my devices, especially things like my car.

Are you also of the opinion that you can't buy used phones?

Depends, if you want a throwaway phone for a call or two that are not important, go ahead.

But if you're looking for a phone you'll keep for multiple years and you want the least possible risk of being tracked by someone else than who made your phone, then I would absolutely not buy a used phone.

Small problem as OK phones can be bought for ~$100 or less in most parts of the world.
