Bought a 08 Type S!

I traded my BMW 330i in today for a 08 Type S Carbon Bronze Pearl / Ebony interior. I was going to get a manual but stopped my self since I'm in traffic for an hour everyday.

Price I paid was $34888 BEFORE TTT. The sales person also threw in splash guards (useless imo), trunk mat, and wheel locks. I ended up financing it from Honda since they were offering 2.9% for 36 months. Not bad at all since I can get a CD for 5.25% =)

My only complaint so far about the car: NO RDS on the radio =(

no RDS...wait until free XM runs out and you have to listen to 4-5 commercials between songs. i know XM can be had for cheap, but paying for music just doesn't seem right.

There is always the six disc CD/DVD-A player. You don't have to pay.

To the OP, welcome and enjoy.

Thumbs up

Congrats!

I also just recently purchased a WDP 08 TL-S. They also threw in the "Pro Pack" (trunk mat, wheel locks & mud guards). However, the mud guards were black & my car is White Diamond Pearl. I thought they were suppose to be color matched??? What color are yours?

I have a 07 type s with the Diamond Pearl but have black mud guards. At first I wanted the same color but after seeing them on the car have come to like the black better. Not sure how a white mud guard would hold up anyway.

Mug guards should ALWAYS be color keyed or they stick out like a sore thumb. YUK...
