Is the Type S worth it?

Ok here is my question, I just recently got my TL about 6 months ago. I have an 05 Black on Black, with Navi and 6 speed tranny. When I was looking I couldn't find a good deal on a type s. I found a pretty good deal on one and was wondering if they are really worth the cost. I mean I know it has a few more options but are they worth the extra cost? I like my 05 and got a good deal but I was really wanting a type s. So should I just keep what I got or go for the S? Any input and advise is appreciated, so give me some reasons why I should stay or go for it. Thanks guys

don't even question it.

as long as you have a manual + nav, it doesn't matter if it's a Type-S or not.

I personally think there's just something cool about the rarity of a car, and the 6-speed TL's are rare. If you have one, be happy with it.

Yeah I am real happy with my car. It took me forever to find a 6 speed with Navi. Although I was looking for a type-s the only ones I could find were automatics and they were a crazy price. I just wasn't sure if it would be worth it to give up my car for a type-s. Thanks guys I appreciate your input.

Sorry if there was a thread like this already. I looked thru a few pages and didn't see one and figured it would be easier to keep up with my own lol.

For what you have, probably not. Unless you find a nice 6MT Type-S.

Yeah I finally found a 6speed type s. I think the biggest thing I like about them are the front ends. I see where people do accord fogs in the 04-06 but will the 07-08 bumper not fit? Im sure I could do researching to find out but its quicker to ask lol. Thanks

Stop thinking of the TL-S. Someday just trade in your car for GT-R or the new NSX, lol.
