I think you and another member here from Switzerland are the only two who have a TL-S in Europe. Any reason why you decided to ship it back to the states?

I've thought about it but doesn't make sense financially.

If it's paid for and running fine, keep it.

This man makes a point.

I've thought about it probably every day for the last three weeks, that Alpine White BRZ has me more skittish than a 10 year old girl at a Bieber concert.

Never!!!! paid for with only 47K miles on it. dont want any more car payments either.

I know people get that itch for a new ride, but i have always kept things until they fall apart (so to speak). I even want my dads truck, a 94 toyota pickup 4wd 4cyl w/22re motor.

The thought never crossed my mind. After totaling my '05, I got an '07 to replace it.

What you really mean is, "How many times have I taken my Type S to the dealership and they've said to me-are you ready to trade in your car for a newer Acura?"

Well DaeHanMeenGuk i'm military and my time is up here in Germany. I will miss the crazy looks and stares like . Didn't get any autobahn footage the wife always told me to slow down. I may just put it up for sale to see what kinda offers I get. Anybody know a good detailer in GA needs a light buff and polish b/c NBP shows everything .

Hmmmm, I wonder if Acura participates in the overseas military car sales. Usually you can get a good deal ordering a new car through them. I thought about selling my 08 WDP TL-S and did trade it in from necessity. I really hated to part with it. Still miss it today.

No Type S here but I've thought about selling my TL 3 or 4 times when I first bought it. I was having some issues with it. Now it runs great and I can't justify getting something else that will cost more.

The thought has never crossed my mind. It still runs well and makes me happy every time I turn the key and start it up.

mn2trance I will be in the Columbus area, but again it is just a thought right now. Had to run it through the automatic car wash on post to ship it, and that bish left swirls all on it . Maybe a light compound and polish and I will fall in love again who knows.
