Oh, and when I went in to buy my car, I didn't want Nav but they had no manuals on the lot without Nav that day. Since I wanted the car, I went ahead and got the Nav (not a stupid decision as y'all know).
One of my next door neighbors bought an '05 manual last summer without Nav. The car was on the lot for two weeks that I know of because I went there to take a look at it one Sunday after he told me he had test driven it. He wanted, and got, Blue/Parchment/6MT/No Nav.

Funny how not one person corrected me for the title of the post not being correct...it should have read......6MT vs Automatics ...
, but it was good reading..I hope Russ..this helps in making your decision in getting your TL....good luck

I want the look of it being in the dash. I have navi in my car, my wifes MDX and a indash Navi in my truck. A much bigger screen and alot easier to use. Sorry thats just how I feel about it. And we all picked up on the mistake and it was listed on the second post, so why would we say it again.

you will see a check mark for "w/o AUTO TRANS." When you check it, it shows that The value of the car is $625 less for a manual for a 2004 TL w/ Navi and 25k Miles, That is a Book Most Dealers use and it is a common known thing that manuals will bring less money back
