'06 or '07 TL Which one ??

Im really set on a 07 TL, but i have a oppurtunity to get a 06 for 10k with 116000. Timing belt and pump recently done and dealer cared for. Im stuggling because i like the suspension, steering wheel,foglight, and turn signal mirrors on the 07 better, but at a much higher price

if you can't afford $16k then just stick with the 06 model, I know that 07-08 has nicer suspension, steering wheel,foglight, and turn signal mirrors and not counting that the transmission is also come from RL which has a different ratio than an 06.

This talk makes me want to upgrade to an 07.. You could probably flip that 06 for 1k-2k profit

07 is better in everything in term of new blue LED gauge, if you get the Navi one it will have back up camera, Head unit play MP3/WMA CD format some thing that is impossible with 04-06 TL, it also has an AUX input that only available for 07-08.

I agree with my other AZ family. Get 07-08 model. Also the navi interface is updated to the "newer" versions. The only thing i can see hat is better about the 04-06TL's is that the navi is way more hackable to give you such things as instant mpg meter and the like. The 07-08 suspension is way more compliant but is only 8% softer in the front and the same as 04-06's in the back. That 8% in the front reduces the J32's tq-steer by a mile.
