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.

A friend of mine has one of these units and loves it, don't know the brand but the screen is very easy to read and all his family fights for it, he has 2 kids which = 4 cars )
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
