Just wondering how rare such a deal is. My fiance and I are trying to decide between an ES330 and an Acura TL, and this does make a difference in the decision process.

Also... I've been extremely impressed by the 04 TL's navigation system. It was co developed between Honda and IBM and blows everything else I've used out of the water. But from my understanding, the 330 got a newly revised Nav system. So is the new 330's nav system competetive with the TL's or is it still lagging behind?

You could probobly shop around and find a base ES at $1000 over invoice. With NAV? Maybe $2500 over. You gotta see the 2004 ES330 NAV, it's faster, more detailed, and has better options. You can even enter destinations to businesses with just the business phone number. It's worth a look.

Well I can't help you with that, but the Navigation in my '04 is awesome. Eventhough the ES is better overall, the Navigation on the TL is slightly better. It's just as responsive as the ES' and has more features than the ES. The TL has Bluetooth technology, voice commands, and a few other things that the ES does not have. But with all the toys aside, the resale and reliability is what ES buyers are usually after, even if it means a little less gadgets.

Of course it's a personal decision on the car, just buy what makes you happy...
