Just made a mistake!!

Hello all, new to the forum and just bought a used 2005 TL red, for my wife with the Nav feature. She of course loves it, but the problem is so do I!!! Now I find myself sneaking it for drives making excuses to get out of the house so I can ride around. I get to drive her old car which is a Volvo S40 which just doesn't compare. The local Acura dealer near me has a Black type S 2007 with just 11000 miles on it and I not sure if I can resist it anymore!

Well anyway just wanted to say great site and thanks to all.

Give in to temptation, keep your wife happy and get yourself a 3G. You can pick up a new base 3G for +-$28k or lots of pre-owned out there.

You just need to go ahead and buy yourself a TL. You will be haunted every time you get home by the sight of her TL give in to temptation.

The Type S seems so nice but not so sure it's going to be that practical for the winters here in upstate NY? But again it's really hard to resist it looks so nice and it only has 11000 on it!

Haha, that's exactly what happened with my wife and i, she ended up getting the older 2001 acura because i knew from start i had to have the TL. She doesn't mind it though as long as she's in the passenger seat and her phone is paired up with it, she's good with that. **sigh** i love my wife (sucking up 'cause i have my Christmas list for the TL already)

Just get the TL..... OR TL-S..... haha. The reason why I got my TL was because the service dept. gave me an 08 TL Loaner for my RSX-S getting diagnosed. And well lets just say when I had to give the TL back I couldn't stop thinking about it ever since. So went to the dealership couple weeks later and bought a new 08. So just buy it haha
