Greetings

Hello AZ'ers. Just another n00b joining the community.

I recently purchased an '08 WDP TL-S 6MT w/20k miles and it is currently enroute to San Diego from the East Coast. After searching on and off for about 18 months, I finally found one that was 100% exactly what I wanted and in pristine condition. For those of you who have been actively searching for 6MT TL-S's, I'm sure you all can relate with the difficulty and frustrations of finding one. AZ was a great resource for info while I was searching and I'm so glad the search is over.

Congrats. When I bought my '04 manual TL in mid July of that year, the dealer's TL inventory was 27% manual. It stayed around 25% for about a year and then started to drop to around 12%. So they are out there. It's only a question of finding one available on the market.

Thanks! Got any plans for it? Surely you won't keep it stock, especially after seeing your S2000 haha.

I'm going to keep it stock until the warranty is up. Haha, yeah right, that's what I said about the S2k and that lasted 2 months. Probably wheels, suspension and other little cosmetic things. Not having much luck brainstorming though.

What about you? Any plans for your car?

The same, I'm trying to wait for my warranty to be up, but mine is a CPO with extended warranty so that's 2013 Hahaha. But I will be keeping most of it stock, so far, I fully detailed my car inside and out, yellow Nokya DRL and foglights. Full LED interior, looking to clear out the headlights and ZKW-R lens. (I'm a big lighting nut ) Clear bra and tint by the end of the month hopefully and than suspension. I hope I stop there...

When do you actually get your car?

Thanks, will do, I've been lurking for a while but still haven't found anything I'm really set on at the moment.

LOL! Waiting until 2013 is a very long time. The headlight mod with the clearing out and ZKW-R is one thing I'm also planning to do. Does wonders for the front end. Can't say the same for the OEM underbody spoiler though. Makes the car look like it's wearing Robin's eye piece (as in Batman & Robin).

The car gets here Tuesday or Wednesday and my patience is running out.

The car was finally delivered this morning. Here are some pics from unloading. I was hoping the transport trailer had some exotics in it but unfortunately it came solo.

Plycar trailers usually have some high end cars in them.


Today, it's just a TL-S.


Interior shot.


Finally in my driveway.


Jam packed.

That car is SO clean. You're making me want to take my WDP out this weekend and super-detail it back to that condition.

Congrats on the ride! I love your interior. Don't get me wrong, the Ebony/Silver interior with the red trim is sexy, but I like light colored interiors. That cream leather with accents looks right up my alley.

Again, congrats!
