Should i trade up????

My acura sales guy just called me, and majorly tempted me...

this is the offer

Trade in my '05 WDP 5spd auto without Nav, 9500 miles

for

'06 5spd auto WITH Navi

lease for lease payment goes up $35 month with only the first months payment down.

How much longer do you have on your lease? And do you have any mods on your current car?

Navi, even in SA is a very handy tool. Even though with this new construction... it gets confused

Hmm then I think you should go for it, it seems like you have about 38 months left so 38 months x 35 = 1330 for Navi plus the other features the 06 has, I just wonder why your dealer is so desperate to get rid of an 06 this early on

just don't do it through Gunn. That whole 1 price/no hastle thing is worthless. I went to Austin and they knocked off a few thousand off of what Gunn told me

Even though I still do all of my maintenance here, at Gunn

Gunn said they would do it for $33,200

from looking at the prices around here that seems pretty good for a '06 with navi

wouldn't you think?

Nighthawk looks the best, but you will see all ot the small dings and occasional scratches on it right away. Every week I notice another small scratch on mine ;-(

Gunn has a 6sp white with parchment interior coming in and I'm thinking taking mine in for that if the $$$ line up.

What dealers do you guys go to that they are willing to take a used car and upgrade it to a new one for little money? I always thought you took a major hit by trading a used car in early

the new TL's hold their value very well... I owed $30k on my '05 with 10k miles, and they gave me $28k

with the new good residuals i picked up the '06 with nav for $33,200

all in all i walked away with it for $528 48 month 12k m/yr

my old lease was $501 for 48 months

Damn I knew TLs held their value but that's nuts, maybe I should trade my 05 with 1000 miles for an 06 lol
