What would you do?

Well I am in a bit of a tough decision.

I have an 03TL but i am under warranty through Zurich. Well my local acura dealers policy is they only accept the acura service contract and that they will not work with other warranties.

So I want to get rid of my TL now the acura dealer offered me some decent deals put me into a same year carbon grey TL with less miles, 05 TSX with 55K miles for a lil more every month, 04 TL (he is still working numbers on this) and they are also an audi dealer so he has some a4's he can put me in.

I can get a year old Azera with 18K miles for around 22K after they eat the negative equity on my trade, or a 07 new sonata platinum edition.

I am also considering a new lancer GTS which i could get at around the same price.

Based on what you see above what would ya'll recommend I do??

Ended up buying the 08 Lancer GTS Navi, sun and sound, bluetooth and very affordable with a good warranty.

The 08 Lancer is starting to grow on my, especially the GTS. I am trying to get my GF into one of them. Looks like a decent platform for the new Evo, but im not too sure about the 4B11

I would go with the Sonota or the Azera. Of course, if I only wanted cars with nav, I wouldn't get those. Hyundai is starting to impress me.

I was really impressed with the Azera and Santa Fe when checking them out at the Auto Show. For some reason, the materials and build quality just didn't seem as high on the Sonata. Not sure why.

I've been eyeing those up every time I see one. Definitely a nice choice, that body is 1000x better looking than the previous (non-evo) lancer. Good luck with it and enjoy it!!
