New TL-S Driver

What's up everyone? I'm the proud new owner of an '07 TL Type S 6MT with Navi. I look forward to learning a lot from you all on the forums. I'm sure I'll have questions in the near future and it looks like I came to the right place. I have a couple pics below and I'll get more this weekend.

Niiice im partial to KBP since I have an 07 S as well. Just a FYI all Type S's come with nav so it wasnt necessary to put that in your post ;-) Just given ya a hard time!!

Anyway one possible recommendation and this is just personal preference. When I purchased my Type S it also had the body side mouldings on it. I took them off and the car looks sooooo much better. I also think that it would look much better especially since you have that aspec kit which already has a lot going on so the side of the car wont be as "busy" looking. Anyway, consider removing those its real simple. Just pry one edge off and peel away they come right off. Then just clean the residue/adhesive off then give it a coat of wax there.

Have fun with that thing KBP is a rare color and then 6spd on top of that you have a car you will probably never see another of on the road.

The tips I'd give you would be for any car purchase really. Get as much research done as possible before even setting foot in the dealership. Try to find a few cars with the options/miles you want and compare prices. Doesn't hurt to have a few dealers competing for your business either, if possible.

Not sure if you have a trade-in or not, but make sure you research your own values and negotiate HARD on that before talking about the new car.

Good luck and hopefully you find a good deal!

Welcome from another recent KBP TL-S owner. Mine's an auto, so the ole lady can drive it. I would have bought a 6 speed if it were for myself.
