First off, thanks to all who contribute to this awesome site and make it a tremendous resource. After 3 months of searching for the "one," I picked up this '07 TL Type-S on Thursday. The car has 19K miles on it and looks & drives like it is brand new. I flew down to Tampa with a one way ticket, finalized the deal, and drove it back to South Carolina. Best 7 hour drive I've ever made....really love the car. Here are a few pics. I am getting the windows tinted next week....trying to decide on 15% or 20%.

Back home in SC in the garage:
Thanks again to everyone on this site!

Thanks all. I picked it up for $25,700 (not including travel expenses which were cheaper than shipping the car). Other than tint, no mods planned yet. It's a certified pre-owned so I don't want to void the warranty. I would like to add angel eyes to the headlights at some point....

Clean car. And I am sure you wish the drive home would have been longer so you could drive your car more lol.
I flew to NYC and drove mine down to Panama City Beach before coming back home.
2700 mile road trip with a friend and couldn't of been more fun to do.
This car was just as exciting to drive as it was to look for, for over a month.
I have CBP with 10% and if you look for "introducing myself" you can see pictures of the tint.
Just depends on your local cops on how dark you want to go. 20% is good all around if you can. Spend the money up front for good tint job you will be happier in long run.

wow, its amazing what ppl would do to get there hands on a TL-S. I find it hard to believe that the car has 19K miles for a 2007. that is CRAAAZY. Im guessing the first owner drove it as a "weekend car" only. Congrats on the new whip!

That's exactly what I was thinking. Although, during my search for one, I found a NBP with 19k miles 08, but the stealership wanted 27.9 for it. Very nice pick up and welcome to the team
You say you're not gonna mod it now, cause it's the same thing I said, and within 2 weeks I bought coilvers already.
