Finally bought one :)

I have been going online every morning and night on 6 diff. used car websites to find an 07-08 WDP TL Type-S with ebony/silver leather.

I found one for sale, and sent an email ASAP.

2007 WDP TL Type-S with an auto, 35% legal tint, ebony/grey leather, auto, with 53,800 miles and in Excellent condition
I have a set of Mint 19" Gunmetal VOLK GT-S wheels going on soon. Then Tein SA, then A-Spec body kit, but with a base front A-Spec lip
Already have a sub built for it. Later on, ATLP Quads, RV6 long tube J-Pipe, Jnc cleared headlights, and a few other mods. Emblem Delete also soon

Have an Awesome Holiday AZ

WOW Signed up here in April 2007

Thankyou for all the Awesome Comments
I Love AZ and the great people on Here

I owned a New 2006 ASM TL Nav from August 2006 Until Dec 2006 when I tradded that in on a New 2007 ASM Type-S with an auto and ebony/silver leather. Around July 2007 I had to lower ALL my monthly payments due to financial problems and bought a New 2007 NBP Civic Si sedan. I had that car until Dec 2008 when I found a Certified 2006 WDP TL Nav with a 6-speed (the one in my Avatar) I spent $10k in mods on that car (Loved it) Then on Sept 12, 2009 I went to a Chevy Open House and saw a LOADED 2010 Camaro 2SS/RS LS3 manual in Inferno Orange with a manual and the Inferno orange/black leather, I had white stripes put on it, and did a few mods. I got rid of that car in Dec 2011. I have been waiting/looking for the car I just bought.

I was NUTS back then I AM KEEPING THIS ONE
I am considering ordering Tein SA coilovers this morning
I will put up pics when I figure out how ? I also lost my Nikon Camera about 2 months ago

I Hope EVERYBODY has an AWESOME Holiday

GOD BLESS ALL

Thankyou Very much. I forgot you mentioned this on the Tein SA Tread
I already ordered them. I could have saved $60 for V-LEDS
Not a big deal

Whats great is my car already has the 35% Legal IL tint all around, and the rear 1/4 windows are done right
I have the mint set of like new gunmetal 19" VOLK GT-S wheels with like new Nitto Invo 235/35/19" tires ready to go on. The tires that came on the car are also like new Conti All-season Brakes were recently done also

I will take the OEM coilovers apart this time to save $$$ and install the Tein SA next friday I am only going aprox -1.5" F&R to start. Then the VOLKS go on

I went through a car phase too!!!

2008 I bought a new 2008 WDP TL
2011 I bought a new 2010 Alberta White Pearl RL
2011 I bought a 2008 CBP TL-S
2012 I bought a 2008 WDP TL-S

And I plan to drive this car until the wheels fall off! I am SOOOOO done with cars.

I blame the auto shows and Acurazine for making me go through so many cars. Acurazine is like a 10 year old girl reading a Cosmo Girl Magazine and feeling ugly. You made my base TL feel ugly when i saw Type S's with all these mods

Now i got one and I can finally say I am driving my "dream car" :-)

With all the money i spent, i couldve gotten a 4g but then i wouldnt be driving my dream car.

Not far at all. 25 miles I have been on 6 different used car places online for months. Cars.com is the best IMO Last sunday night I saw this car just put on Cars.com. I emailed the person ASAP and got in contact with him last monday. I went and test drove it on monday afternoon and said I wanted it. He held it for me until thurs when I got the cash for it He had MANY phone calls on it, and a guy waiting for me to back out of the deal. He said he was beating people off with sticks Patience and alot of searching every morning and every night online. If you find one you want CALL ASAP.

Yes it is this one. The hood has hail damage that I have to get fixed, otherwise the car in in Great condition I first saw it in the shade when it was dirty. The owner showed me a few hail dents on the roof (no big deal) yesterday morning when I washed it I saw several little dents on the hood
No big deal. I got the car for $21,739 total including Tax, Plates, and Title transfer. Love it I have to spend about $1000 to fix the hood, at least I hope its not too much more. No problem

I test drove an 07 NBP Type-S with a stick 2 months ago and loved it, but I needed an auto and WDP. I was considering it, but I came to me senses, I have owned 3 black cars before WAY TOO MUCH WORK. They still have that 6-speed NBP 07 Type-S 12 minutes away from me at a VW dealer in Gurnee IL. Just incase somebody wants it. It was in an accident, but I could not tell. When I looked at it in the sun, all the gaps were perfect and it drove like new with 73k miles, for $21,000

I am considering HID's in place of the fog bulbs. For now I just put regular Sylvania H8 bulbs in Much better then yellow IMO
I need H8 bulbs that match the HID headlights, or I will go with an HID Kit.
Not sure yet ? $$$ is an issue

Have a wonderful Holiday
