Sell the 04 and get the 4.6is. That way, you won't be driving a car that's been through the ringer (the 04 through college life). I would much have a mom driven car than a car that me and my friends have trashed. No matter how much I respect my car, I still find that friends do stupid things in it that I can't keep an eye on.

If that's your argument, then I'd have to disagree. My car doesn't have the typical college car life. She still gets hand washed once a week and barely have idiots in it..

I think it sounds like you take excellent care of your X, so I wouldn't consider that as part of the equation. I'm partial to 4.6 purely based on appearance and a slight performance edge; however, I think the pluses are greater for you to keep your 4.4. You know it better, it's newer, it's facelifted, it's probably worth more (or at least would be easier to sell in the future), it has your mods already on it, and probably the best part is you don't have any work to do haha. I wouldn't blame you for either choice, but I think the smarter decision is sticking with the 4.4.

But I've read that your car has been hit and beat up by people as you park at Cornell. For example, you complained about kids folding mirrors and lifting up the wipers and chipping the paint. Then there are the parking lot mishaps causing a misaligned front bumper that your mom's car probably doesn't have.

Mom's car. Just get it.

Keep the 4.4 Naz. Unless you have the time, enthusiasm and $$ to mod the 4.6

4.6 - no question

what's mom trading up to?

What color interior in the 04?

That's a tough call, although personally I greatly prefer the 4.6is over a 4.4i no matter how modified and face lifted or not.

Indianapolis, we found a great deal on a fully loaded 2008 4.8i. (getting it for trade in value

).. Monaco blue, all the goodies

c4: the interior on mine is black, i love the white on black...

My father seems to be leaning on me taking the 4.6is just because its fully fully loaded 100% options. Mine doesnt have all the options that the 4.6 does.

does anyone wanna buy my 4.4 or 4.6? maybe i'll put out some feeler threads

Ya - so white on black makes it a tougher one. I like that combo too, better than silver on black and it is rare too. Still I would rather have a 4.6is all told...
