Just purchased: MRP 07 TL Type-S

I always loved these cars. Bought one today from Clair Acura in Walpole, MA.

Details:
Moroccan Red Pearl
Ebony/Silver Interior
6-speed
9 miles on ODO

Could not do much wiggling on price since this was apparently the *only* one with that config for sale in New England. They gave a fair price still since it was at a premium. I'd rather pay for what I want than settle and regret later.

Pick it up Monday. Phoots to come then. Lots of phoots will be had.

If there are any get togethers in the Southeast Mass area, let me know!

Next steps: Clear bra and some tint. No other mods will be made.

I deal't with Stew. He's a sales manager and also knows my sisters fiance very well. My sister bought a TSX 2 weeks ago also. I payed 35,500 out the door including all weather mats and trunk mat and 3 yr warranty on the rims for nothing

His full name is Stewart Fogler, It was the best experience buying a car I have ever had.

If you go there just tell him Mike recommended you and he'll hook you up...

$35.5K?

Wow......That is out the door at dealer cost! I guess the dealer did not care about the holdback.

Yessir not a penny more (granted I had a good connect) but If anybody is looking to get into something new and live in the tri-state I would highly suggest going to Ramsey Acura the guy Stew is awesome.

I'll be sure to take some pics tomorrow and post them. I was too busy today having a ball driving her around all day.

can't wait to throw some 19's on. Just haven't decided on which ones im kinda leaning towards the TORK IMAGINES HyperBlack

Any feedback on rims let me know.

OK. I'm taking back my thread now.

Clair had trouble faxing my insurance company, so the car is not registered yet. Got a rental RL in the meantime. Should be ready tomorrow.

Had 'em fix a few things (mom drove me to the dealership and she has worked in Quality Assurance for years, so she has the eagle eye). Found a little chip on the inside front of the passenger door (happens to a lot of cahs). They're fixing that. Also a little chip and scrape on the plastic part of the taillight (looks like it happened pre-install). They're replacing that.

Will look over again tomorrow before finally bringing home.

I think there was one in Peabody, MA. I checked there and it was gone. The one at my dealer came into it. No shipping around.

No. Too many scrapage possibilities.

MRP is the best color. Next is CBP, then KBP, then NBP.

Hey Pete...GREAT looking car...looks exactly like mine on the outside (except I have tints). Inside I got the taupe leather (I hate getting into really HOT seats in the summer, but I do love the look of the ebony/silver two-tone).
I agree with you about front lips and lowering...here in the midwest that can spell MANY trips to the body shop for retouching and repairs. Besides, I think the TLS is hot enuf looking without any body mods.

Also...very nice pictures. Well done!

Welcome to the rather exclusive MRP club.

Crazy thing is, when I first saw this car, it was over 90 degrees all day and the car was sitting directly in the sun all day. First thing I did is feel how hot the leather was. It was not hot at all.
