No, Rootski. I think it's a grand touring because it has a moonroof and nav. Maybe i am wrong, but i didn't think you could get navi and moonroof without having the grand touring. it also has xenons.

Nope. Moonroof comes with Touring. Nav is a stand-alone option, 8's in all trims can have it.

my 2 choices (and I've literally called about 20 dealerships in southern california) are:

- black grand touring with black leather and NO nav 20K miles for $20,599

- dark gray grand touring with black leather with NAV 39K miles for same price.

I think i am gonna go with the black.. I am so indecisive!

i'd go with the touring and see if you can get them down another couple thousand. even if you can get them down a little more it's worth a shot as these are definitely high for an '04. i'd prefer to have the lower mileage and from what i hear the nav really isn't great anyway. of course maybe you want the extras that a GT offers you and are willing to take the higher mileage. that's the beauty - you're the one who gets to decide what's most important to you.

EDIT: i just realized that they are both GTs so i'd definitely go with the lower mileage hands down.

I just picked up a 2004 black GT

Navigation + everything except the spoiler
Brown and Black Leather
20,000 miles

$18,000 - given the fact that it is winter here in Chicago, prices may be a bit lower than in Cali. If you have some time, I think you will find one at a better price. It is tough to wait when you are excited though!

A fact that the salespeople know and use to their advantage!
