I prefer white. And those are some good prices. Back in August, 04's were going for $20k certified.

First one

Yes it has more miles...but the A-Spec kit and the navi will make you love the car even more. It's a sweet car without that stuff, but if you were to pull up to me, in which I don't have the a-spec kit, you could/would feel cooler and supreme over me. Maybe. I'm just rambling on...but you get the point. I would snatch that TL in a second. I wish mine looked like that. Time will only tell.

Wow definitely go with the first one thats just my opinion though, It has the A-spec kit and looks in pretty good shape and sometimes depending on where you are it is hard to find a Tl with the A-spec kit on it used and have Navi.... my go buy it tomorrow Good Luck!

The difference in mileage is pretty noticeable; keep in mind these are both 04s and may or may not have transmission problems. Don't make up your mind without test driving both cars.

According to the adds they both have Navi. And for some reason the WDP is RWD.....LOL Anyway the silver does have much less miles on it. Plus the silver hides dirt better. Personally I do like WDP (as I own one that color). But the big differences I see between these two cars is the A-Spec kit and mileage. The kit is nice but to me not a deal breaker if it's not there. To me the mileage would play a big part in my decision. Drive both cars and see how they feel. Also check to see if the power steering hose and wiper motor recalls have been done. Good luck with your deal and welcome to AZ

No problem man. I got my 04 WDP not realizing there was a recall and when I took it to the Acura dealer, they told me about the recall. I didn't pay a cent because it was a recall, but it sucked not having my car for a day or 2.

Just make sure it drives how you want it to drive. It may look sweet, but if it isn't what you wanted it to be, make the right decision and keep on looking!

Tell me about it... lol
I got my Acura for 16.5 with 43k miles back in June/July or so. With everything, it came out to 20k. Ah well.
