Rock and A Hard Place

OK, here the situation. I got a 99 TL and my father just bought a WDP '03 TL-S to replace his car. He was supposed to get a BMW 540i next year and still plans to, but his car just gave out so he bought the TL-S for meantime. I asked him and he said it would be fine, that when he goes to get is BMW, we'll trade in my car, and I get his TL-S. But here is where my problem lies. I was going to put in a really nice system in my TL within the next 2 months, but that means I have the system for a year, then take it out when i trade in my car(my system aint going to no dealership, get the car back to stalk condition, then get the system put back in the TL-S. So what should i do? Wait on the system or get it then take it back out? Im kinda stuck between the two.

IMO, save the system for the TL-S.

If you are installing the system yourself, then put it in now and take it out later, if you don't mind doing the work and have the time to do it. Otherwise, don't waste the money paying for an install when it's just going to be taken out and re-installed again.

Yeah, me too. Ditto what the others said--why pay twice for installation?

Unless your doing it yourself, don't install it.
Use the time to really plan your system, buy the best components and build the best box possible.
Then when you get the TLS....
your ready to go

I planned my system pretty well. the only things I would change would be the Speakers and maybe the Sub and go up to a 10w7 instead.
