Hello,
I would like you advice on this. At the moment i have a 2008 TSX non navi. I was thinking of upgrading to a 2008 navi. For 2800 out of pocket i can upgrade to a navi? is this a good deal?
Thanks,
I will most likely get the deep green pearl

deep green huh?
rare.
2800 is a lot for a nav.
the aftermarket ones only cost hundreds.
I wouldn't drive the non-nav though, don't like the look of the dash
and screens or whatever.
so it all depends on how picky/anal you are really.

I test drove the 09 TSX today and the saleslady was tempting me to trade my 04 TSX for the 08 TL-S demo cause they said they were clearing them out for the 09 TL with the new bodystyle. I said nah cause I'll wait for the 09 TL to come out and see what it looks like first. Also, my gf likes the 09 TSX and is waiting for the 09 Maxima to come out with also a new bodystyle.

The resale value arguments are all valid points, but why doesn't enjoyment of the option(s) get any consideration? Sure... maybe you spend $2k now, and don't get it back when you sell or trade-in the whip... but doesn't being able to use the navi and getting all your functions integrated into 1 tight little system count for something? When you buy concert tickets, are you expecting a payout at the end of the show? Any way you slice it, a car is a depreciating asset... in this case, the navi depreciates to $0 faster than the vehicle does.
It's only one man's opinion, but I'll never buy another car w/o factory navi. It's not just about the actual "find a place" benefit for me... but I'm not trying to rehash that whole topic again. I just wanted to point out that just because you don't get value at resale doesn't mean you don't get any value at all. In the cost-benefit analysis, you're only including the cost.

2010 TL SH-AWD
LovemyTSX: I was wondering where you purchase the TL-S? I was at Acura of Orange Park few month back looking at some MDX and I believe I saw like 60-80 TL Type S's. We were there just looking and not to buy but this dealer is pretty much pushing any cars out at way below invoice. I mean WAY below, rediculous prices. I would assume this was a volume dealer. They keep knocking off thousands of dollar everytime we said we were leaving lol. But then again my honda/acura days are over since I got rid of my 07 TL-S , too much problem .
Congrats and GL with yours.

Other then that, its a great car, not worth $30+k with poor customer service.
