Going to buy TL-s

Well first I would like to thank everyone on this site for all the information I have learned so far that has lead me to decide that a TL is the right car for me. I am stuck between 2 cars at the moment and was hoping that maybe you guys could help me make up my mind. One is a 2002 with 34k miles OEM body kit and spoiler for 18750.00 and is white..The Other is a 2002 with 39k miles no body kit or spoiler but has nav. and is black the price for this one is 18400. I know that I want to get the body kit and spoiler so it is kind of nice that the white one already has it on the other hand the nav unit is PIMP I have always loved and owned black cars but I really kinda like the clean look of a white TL what would you guys get if it were up to you?

I would get the black one, because it is has the NAVI - I will never own a car without it now! Really has helped alot, and gives that extra touch of luxury. I think the body kits look real nice, but I think the cars look MUCH better with a drop, vs. stock height and a body kit. I dont think I would want a body kit on with a drop, too easy to hit stuff with the kit, but w/o the kit and with a drop, the car looks very sporty and you dont have to worry about draging the kit.

Black cars look great, but are a pain in the ass to keep clean, dont know where you are from, but that would also weigh in on my decision.

Basically a toss up - Navi?, kit?, color? I would take the black TL with navigation.

then get the black one and get a kit...it is much easier to add the kit and or spoiler vs. adding the navigation later. You will love the navigation - more than you would a white one with a kit.

I'm not too keen on the bodykit straight from the factory. It does look nice with different wheels and/or a drop. I got my 03 ABP TLS w/ Navi with nothing except the wing on the back and love it just the way it sits. I say definitely get the TLS with Navi. Either way, good luck with whichever car you choose.

Yup like everyone said black w/ navi. If you decide to want the bodykit later on, theres this guy on ebay that sells the kit for really cheap. BTW....why are the cars so cheap? Over in cali, these cars would go for around 23k at the dealers.

black with Nav. definitly. i never liked the factory kit. and like those guys up there said before, much easier to get the bodykits installed than finding a nav and getting it installed for you. imean navi has practical use, whats the body kit gonna do?? oyeah and you could just get nicer looking aftermarket ones.. i see too many people with oem bodykits anyways
