Need Your Advice guys ASAP

Hey guys, ok here is the situation. I bought a 2000 TL-P back in march, i do alot of miles due to my job ( my last car nissan Maxima 98 had 215K before it got totalled), and have allready put 21K on the car since i bought it. I love the car, and as far as i know i got a good deal,i paid $12Kl. It had 73K miles on it when i bought it with NAVI, good paint, clean carfax etc etc. The Factory CD player sucked ass, so dumped it and put in a nice 4K Alpine system in it. Now here is the situation that i face, one of my mate wants to buy an Acura TL with navi and just would not settle for anything else but Navigation. He loves my car, and is willing to buy it for 11K or so without the stereo, i just came across a nice 2002 TL-S SSM with OEM body kit and clean carfax report, for $15K, one owner 74K miles. Here are two of my options, buy the TL-S, i think i can negotiate the price down to 14K if i am lucky, buy that one and sell mine to my mate or i can just keep on driving my TL-P and pass on the TL-S that i came across, what do you guys think i should do ??

well, yes S over P, BUT, never deal business with your friends, its bad karma, and if something goes wrong he will blame you.

$3,000 for 35 hp gain + body kit look nice in the pix, good luck.

Will test drive the TLS tonight and let ya all know what i thought of it :-D. I can tell from one of the pictures that it would need a new left foglight, i dont know if u guys noticed.

Definitely get the Type-S.

Recently a member of the forum IMed me and asked me if the Type-S was worth the extra money. He had only test driven a Premium, but not a Type-S.

He told me 2 days later that he picked up an '02 Type-S.




Type-S is definitely worth the money. Go for it.

Thanx a bunch guys, i am in nashua right now just test drove the car, um in love. The body kit looks awesome, deal squared at 14,500. Car has 76K highway miles, one owner. But i just love the front end of the car and on top of that its a TLS. Will be picking it up on monday. Now all i need to do is take the rims off of my old one, take the hks exhaust, pull the whole stereo system out etc etc. But i guess its all worth it. i will miss the Navi thou
