I did it ! ! !

Well I finally did it, I have my own RL now ! ! ! I loved my 05 TL it was a great car, but I just wanted something different, maybe something more was what I wanted as well. I went with the Celestial, just thought the color had a real nice classic look and I absolutely love it. I will post some pics in the next few days, guess I need a avatar as well

Thank you, and no. I will get the Aspec added on in a month or so though, but I wasnt willing to pay the dealer mark up on the kit, its just to much. I can purchase the kit from a dealer in washington for alot less, so thats the way to go if you ask me.

Congrats!! I'm looking to possibly get an RL as well. I'm thinking about trading my '06 BMW 330i in. While I've loved the BMW, I think I really just need something larger, more comfortable, and AWD is a nice bonus too.

What did you get for your TL, I am thinking the same, but just can't find wheels I like for the RL.

ok heres a question, I have really limited time to check out my Rl so far, I have been on call at work and that leaves little time to do anything besides get some sleep. The 06 does have a IPod connection in it, doesnt it? Guess I need to go get the manual and start actually looking at this car a little closer.

It only has an iPod connector if you paid for it, it's a $250 option.

Indeed, I have a bum unit and have been trying to convince the dealer that it is indeed bad. Working on getting a replacement.

Linked my RAZR in all of about 3 minutes. I'm on Cingular, though, and you're probably on another service. I'm told that the software is different, but that may not be true.

Usually the dealer can help with pairing problems, so you might try that.

Didn't have a problem linking my Razr (I'm with Verizon). Per Mike_TX, do check with your dealer.

I really do ned a new pic on here, but I havent had a chance to take any of my RL yet, thinking I might wait till I get some rims and possibly the aspec kit, Im debating on how much I can spend right now.
