I just got a TL Type-S Thursday! I will post pics asap. Awesome car so far...

 

Congrats! Waiting for pics...

 

...may i ask where from? i almost pulled the trigger on on last thursday...but after coming back the following evening, it'd already been taken -_- haha
bellevue?!

 

congratulations. People are still buying cars even how the economy is suffering.

 

congratulations, I just got mine last week

 

I bought in Virginia. So,it probably wasn't the same car.

 

congrats and welcome to acurazine

 

Yes, they are... for a lot of different reasons. The car market is suffering now, so there are some really good deals out there. I checked this one over and made sure it had no paint work or previous damage, it was in good shape, etc. So, then I just made sure the price was right. Also, I needed a new car for the job I will be doing. I am going to be driving a whole bunch of miles (around 30k miles per year) so I needed something a bit more reliable than my old car.

 

Congrats and welcome to AZ The Type-S is awesome..........

 

Welcome! Lots of useful info here

 

I can't post attachments... so, for now, the pics are at:

You Broke doesn't mean everyone is...
People who use their money wise wont have any problem with this economy sufferings....

 

nice pickup 6speed black interior

 

Very true, we picked ours up with cash out the door! Great deal.

 

otep ascension ftw.

 

?

 

Did you get this at Sterling Carmax? I saw this car on-line and it was gone in a day or two. Can you share what you paid and how many miles are on it. Thanks

 

is that otep

 

niiice

 

how much did you get it for ? and where in Va do you live ?

 

congrats!!! oh and also how many miles are on it ?

 

nice car! looks just like mine! good find on the 6spd gotta love it!

 

Great car....just got my first Acura...08 type s in white and love it. performance and luxury...how can u go wrong

changing all the lights to white LED in 2 weeks and installing a CAI....a little more speed and responsiveness

 

Wdp ftw!

 

Yeah, the interior really sold it!

 

Good call... it is Otep! I was wondering if anyone would notice.

 

Yeah it was from that Carmax. I made a request through Carmax.com for a white on black 6-speed, etc. and they got it in a day! As soon as it was there, I put a deposit on it and bought it. There seem to be a good amount of automatics out there (even brand new still), but for 6-speeds, there was one in Maryland. They wanted too much money for it, though ($35k for a used one!!!). The one I got was $29k plus tax, etc. 18k miles on it when I bought it. I am going to be driving a lot with my new job, though... so that is going to climb fast. I've already put almost 1k miles on it!

 

Wow.... I'm looking for White TL type S with manual transmission on the Virginia area... I haven't got much luck but I will keep looking

Nice car just how I want it

 

Yeah, it was a tough find... good luck! Pohanka Acura seems to have a good amount of TL Type-S... you could see if they have a 6 speed now.

 

Saw them a while ago at Ozz fest in Riverside Cali. That chick gets down on stage.

 

Congrats on the purchase. Enjoy!

 

congrats on the six spd, I tried to find one but no dealers here had it, so I got the auto

 

Just picked one up yesterday from Pohanka. I went to the Sterling Carmax first and they were only willing to give me $17.5 for my '06 TL, nav, 6 speed with 37k miles. Drove their '07 White/black, auto Type S with 18k miles they wanted $28k for. No deal on either as the car was is good shape but not what I would have bought.

Went to Pohanka where I bought my '06. They gave me in the $20's for my trade and I bought an '07 Type S, white/taupe, auto, 17k miles certified for low $27's. The certification allowed me to get 2 new tires, oil change, new front pads, turned rotors, adjusted calipers and a good detail. I don't mind the auto. Kinda of nice to not always shift gears. Also, the taupe is a great color combo. My last 2 cars were all black interior and I was sick of vacumming dust all the time. No complaints at all.

 

Congrats on the find! I think I test drove that exact car at some point! I have driven manual all my life, so shifting gears in our traffic doesn't bother me. Plus, I think I drive a bit slower when I am in a manual car (good for less tickets!).

 

I agree with you 100%. I drove my manual slower off the line always. The auto makes it easier, IMO to drive faster off the line. Just easier I guess. The one I bought already had 35% tint on it so that was a bonus. Is this the one you drove?

One thing disappointed me though was the gas mileage. On my drive from Roanoke to CarMAx (straight shot with no stops) I got 32 or 33 on the MID in my '06 averaging around 80 mph. Love the mpg.

DRive the Type S back and set cruise at 75 and keep it there most of the time and only got 27 (might have been real close to 28 but since whole numbers I don't know exactly). This was disappointing. I would have expected better (l30 - 31 at least). I'll be back up in Fairfax Sunday so I'll fill her up completely and see what it does Sunday. I really hope it improves b/c most of my miles are highway, which it sounds like yours might be, and to maybe loose 5 mpg is a bummer especially if gas goes back up over $4/gallon.

 

27-28 I think is the best your going to do. That's the best i gotten om my TL S Auto.

 

Hmmm... it didn't have tint. So, maybe they had another one come in? I am not sure. Either way...

MPG wise, I got 27 on my first big trip, but that was still with the gas from the dealer. I just filled up with some normal (good) gas, so we'll see how it does with that. I was driving 80 mph the whole time to get 27. That is 8/9 mpg better than my old car at that speed, so I am happy!

 

Nice Find.

 

Very nice find. Enjoy the car!
