thanks, i think i woulnd mind gettin a 07 tl if the 06 is out

gomezine

that's true but there is also a big price difference. you can save at least 4k.

lol, if it wasn't a chick, I guarantee people would have screamed, "USE THE SEARCH BUTTON!!!!!!!!!!!"

girlonfire

hmm i do not think so.

for 06 TL, the think the most dealer would do OTD is 29000, i dont think they would go down to 28000 otd. also i only want either black peral or white diamond.

and for 07 tl, i think im able to get it otd for 31000.

im lookin for automatic no navi. the base one.

Girlonfire-Im also now looking at 2007 TL
here's 2 quotes I got from a dealer in the Bay

35650 + fees for a 2007 TL type-s with navi

33650 + fees for a 2007 TL with navi

But I'm still leaning towards the 2006...06 TL with Navi/6spd from 33100 to 33300 OTD
Im now trying to figure out if the 2007 is worth the extra $$$

You cannot save enough money on the '06 to make up for it being a year older when you go to trade it in a few years. Just look at the difference in price between any '02 and '03 cars with identical equipment and miles in the Kelley Blue Book. Plus, why not get the new mirrors, MP3 capability, and maybe one of the new colors? You're getting a new car, might as well be new. Just my $.02

It (07) also has a "new" automatic tranny along with the other new stuff. Sounds like a fun decision.

ndabunka

Sorry GOF but your not getting an '07 for that price. Sounds like one of the dealers is trying to "play you" to get you in the shop and then claim... Oops, that was for an '06 ... The '06's have rebates and factory incentives which is the ONLY reason the dealers are selling them thousands under invoice. Invoice on the 07 is higher than what you are stating you can get it "out the door" for. You may be female but I still have to call BS on that one

girlonfire

try to get some 07 TL with no navi base quote if you can.

yea i love the new TL with side mirror and mp3. looks so cool with side Mirror

Headlights are different. I never noticed but the TL-S headlights look HOT.

girlonfire

im not a big fan of headlights

Being named "girlonfire" as opposed to say...."icecoldbitch" doesnt hurt either

haha, you know it...

I trade in my 04 for an 07 and let me tell you this ,it really worth it .Here is a list of what i like about the 07:

Better leather and softer(won't crack like 04)
switch blade key
softer suspension (ride is more comfortable and steering feels better)
Rims look alot better
daylight driving light and fog goes down where it suppose to be
Transmission is alot smoother than my 04
the steering wheel and speedometer look alot nicer .color is gunmetal rather then black
MP3,WMA, and Aux input
and with navi you have rear camera on reverse,you will regret in the future for not spending another $2000 for the navi.

Just traded my '04 Anthracite for the new Carbon Bronze Pearl with Quartz interior... looks great! Lots of small improvements and only a few downsides....
The 5 speed automatic trans is GREAT... in Manual the shifts are a lot more positive, no waiting.... drive one, you'll see. This alone makes the trade up worthwhile.
The new wheels, lights and side blinkers are all nice. The seats are definitely softer and they have lost the "memory" that my '04 seats had. They also feel firmer... the padding is improved. No long drives yet, but I'm sure it will be fine.
The switch-key is cool... very Euro and the DRL and auto on headlights are finally there.
Oh yeah, the audio now has Dolby Pro Logic II... it makes regular CDs sound more like surround sound... and it "opens up" the sound on XM radio... very nice.... and as a treat, it now has speed controlled volume... the faster you drive the louder it gets... nice concept.
Okay, the downside... even though they have moved the MID controls to the steering wheel and increased the size of the Bluetooth buttons, the steering wheel feels cheaper... it's a three spoke design... looks like it belongs in the TSX! I miss the feel of my thicker four spoke wheel.
The large knobs on the audio feel cheaper... plastic and not weighted as nicely as on the '04.
But the sway bars are thicker and the suspension has been retuned so it drives smoother and tighter all at once. (The Type S is a little too hard, and a little too Pontiac GTO for me... who picked those honey-combish wheels... same guy that picked the new design for the front grill...whatever)
Oh yeah, they added a rubber mat to the floor of the compartment on the center console.. the one just under the radio (non-Navi)... it eliminates sunglass rattle.
See, I told you... lots of little tweeks and a new trans..... and I got it for Invoice $31,350 which included the Dest. Even got a fair trade on my '04 w/47,500 miles... okay last thing, the warranty now goes out to 70,000 miles on the powertrain.... I really like what they've done... NO regrets!

girlonfire

so u sayin when i park my car, i can see how close if i hit another car on the navy screen?

reason why i dont want to get navy is dont want to pay $15 a month.
if theres no monthly fee for navy i woulnd mind

rwp1223

Built-in NAVI is nice but the portables look like a much better deal... they can be moved car to car and used when you start walking around... comes in handy in NYC and Phil. The GARMINs have a nice display... the model 660 is approx. $700 and can fit in a shirt pocket.
Funny thing about NAVI TLs... you pay approx. $2K to get it ($2.5K in '07s) and they depreciate $500 a year... by the fourth year your $ is gone... I'm getting a portable after Xmas... something I can take on vacations, put in rentals, lend to my son, etc. Anybody have a suggestion for one???
BTW, the only fee I have heard of for NAVI is for the instant traffic/weather updates... I don't mind the monthly charge for XM but I won't pay extra for traffic updates since I don't live in a metropolitan area.

dampfnudel

If you're ok with the price, the Garmin Nuvi 660 would be the way to go. In fact, most Garmin units would do fine.

leedogg

I'll tell you what I paid 2k for. An integrated Navi with a giant touchscreen interface. By integrated, I mean it mutes my radio when it spits out directions, I can feed it voice commands, and after finding a particular place, I can then have it call this place.

The giant touchscreen with large buttons and keys is easy to view and requires very minimal direct attention when I enter addresses on the fly or navigate around my current location to find other routes.

Bottom line, its the easiest to use and the least distracting. Bonus - its not a target for thieves, and i'm never going to misplace/lose it.

Yeah- I totally luv my Navi too.

kobi2002

The only thing on the navi for 07 you would pay for is the traffic . That lets you know where accidents and road problems are, other tan that the navi is free to use(gps). you can find and get directions on your navi for free

MoPho

Girlonfire ... like kobi stated the only fee is the "real time up to date traffic condition reports". This is included along with xm for the fisrt 90 days from date of purchase. Other than that the navi is free to use. Trust me you should get 1. I love driving with it ... never have to ask for directions or try to find small back alley streets again. And when you need to exit the freeway it lets you know exactly which exit to take and if there are 2 exits with the same name or if you come up to a fork ypu will no longer be confused. The back-up cam comes in very handy at times. I live in SF CA where tight parking spots are a way of life.

4 year/50,000 mile warranty - is this the standard warranty for 3G-TL's?

yep

stlgasman

If you don't mind me asking, what did you get for your trade?

Ken1997TL

The ''07 base TL rides a lot smoother than my '05 does. This should help prevent rattles as well
