I did not go with the Audi for the simple fact that they wanted to play games when it came time to finance the car. The TT 225 was a fun car to drive and the S4 well for the
money it was an all around good car.

BMW:
540 (6 speed): could not find one with low miles
01 M Coupe: had trouble finding the 01.. i wanted one soooo bad.

Plus my Acura deal sold my 97 CL for me. I told the guy I wanted 10,500 for the car and I got it...

Is it possible to watch a DVD through the nav system????

Nice color choice. Ye shall not be disappointed.

Your comptech springs ... a lot of people here seem to like those.

Regarding the S4 -- why did you not buy it? You said it was a good car for the money. I think the TL-S is a good car for your money (and great for tall drivers ), whereas I thought the S4 was a little pricey. Damn good car though.

RE The 97 CL: You got $10.5k for it. How many miles on it?

I also drove all the same cars you did, But frankly, I bought the TL-S because of the price. The A-4 and S-4 would have been my first choice, except I think they are about 20% overpriced. A good friend has a 540i 6 Speed - NICE! There is no comparing a 540i to a TL-S. As much as I like the TL-S, the 540i is FAR SUPERIOR.

I hope you enjoy your car as much as I do!

Congrats!

Either BMW's would've been :wow: but can't beat TL-S in overall value.

Search the board. It is possible to install a regular DVD player and run some kind of splitter to the screen. I don't recall the details.

The DVD player in the NAVI will not play standard DVDs just navi maps.

Congratulations... you're now driving one of the greatest shifting, hardest shifting automatics ever! Don't sweat some of the nit picky posts on this forum.. . 90% - 95% of TL-S owners absolutely love their cars... w/ no regrets about the purchase.
