Another TSX Saying Goodbye

Hi everyone, I have always looked on this forum for information about the TSX. I had my 04 ABP since December 2003 and it has been a great car. I put over 83,000 miles on it and it was finally time to say goodbye.
Here are some pics of the TSX.




Here is my new car. Sorry for the really crappy pics.
It is a 2006 Mercedes CLS500 that I bought with only 12,230 miles on it. I got a really good deal according to KBB.




Did I make a good choice

Christ, so many people are jumping ship.

Congrats, though.

No, they are Lorinser wheels. I liked them cause they looked like the SLR though.

Yeah, there have been quite a few posts where many are ditching their TSX for another ride. I'm also tempted to jump the ship for the TL Type-S, but I still like my TSX - so I'm staying.

The TL-S has crossed my mind a couple of times as well, but man, I don't have a car loan anymore and I want to keep it that way. My practical side keeps winning.

Um ya, I'd say that's a really nice upgrade. The CLS is such a gorgeous car.

If you are ever in the market, I'd recomend the Lorinser body kit too. It's so perfect for that car.

Congrats for sure!

Not sure. Could be that some people might have upgraded to the 2G if it had met their needs. Others probably just wanted something new anyway. Hard to say.

Sweet dude! I would jump ship to, but I have other priorities like saving to buy a house if/when I get married to my gf. I like those CLS500. Only bad thing for me I could never buy that due to winters here in Chicago. Do they offer CLS500 with 4matic?

Although I don't find myself buying a new car in years, I'm glad people are making a smooth transition.

Don't be a stranger!

i saw the commercial for the '09 TSX last night and it looked better than the pics iv'e seen...

I traded my TSX casue I wanted something new. I loved the TSX! I also looked at the TLS and BMW 335i. I wanted to try a greman car and I found this. It was certified pre owned with low miles and it looked like brand new. They had others with AMG kits but they were all over $50K.

I paid $46,255 OTD and they were asking $48,900. With a price like that it will look the same for a long time. I just want to tint the windows right now. The original window sticker was in the glove box and the original price was $89,695
