Default Quick Question, Itll take a sec please help!

Just got rid of my O4 TSX. Found a Crystal White 2006 IS350 with black interior 48,xxx, has navigation, doesnt have ML. Clean carfax one owner. Selling for $24500. Ive been looking for white with black interior exclusively. Simple answer please YAY or NAY... oh and also is there anything bad about buying an 06?

I think thats as good a deal as you'll find with a clean record.

and FYI, its Crystal White on '06's and Starfire Pearl for 07-09
(When compared side by side, CW has more "yellow" in it then SP)
I've parked next to a Starfire Pearl and Its not very noticible IMO...

I've had mine for a couple weeks now and love everything about it.

Only "drawbacks" i've heard of are the following:

-No button to turn of VDIM
(though you can do the peddle dance which for me is no problem)
-No Shark Fin antenna

I'm not sure, but i think the navigation is updated in the 07+? Correct me if i'm wrong.

There's not much difference...

Consider yourself corrected. No difference in the navigation system hardware, just in the software, which is automatically updated when you install a newer map DVD. Many here prefer the software that shipped in '06, since there is an override procedure to allow destinations to be entered while driving. Personally, I prefer the '08+ discs, since it eliminates the need to press the "I agree" button each time the car is restarted.

Sounds like a nice car, but in this market you might get a small discount on the price to close the deal.

CW on black is a rare combo so I don't know how picky you can be but the car does sounds like it's in good condition.
