I ordered a Audi A5 in December but couldn't wait until March 08, so I bought a 08 TL- Type S - DWP with A-Spec kit, to hold me over. I always wanted this car. Paid $33,500 +$1k for the kit and 4.9% financing, so I shouldn't lose too much in a couple of months. Love the car but I see about 10 every day. I was going to buy some 20's but i'll save it for the Audi.

 

Congrats on both car purchases.........and welcome to the forum
Sounds like you got a good deal on the TL-S

 

OK, I'll bite. Geez, you couldn't wait two months?? You lost $4-5K on that TL-S when you drove it off the dealer's lot.... Oh, well, you've obviously got lots of extra money.

Sorry I couldn't resist that, but enjoy your new cars!

 

You're going to sell the TL-S in 60 days?

I can't see how that will EVER make financial sense. But at least you can have a little fun for the next couple of months.

 

You just lost 5 thousand dollars. Good Luck

 

Yeah, it doesn't make sense to buy a car for a few months.
Good luck with the A5.
Where do you live that you see 10 TL-S's everyday?

 

Don't know about the OP, but they're a dime a dozen where we're at.

You can't swing a dead cat around here without hitting a handful of BMW, MB's, TL's and Lexi.

TL-S, not so much.

 

first of all - welcome to the forum

second, why would you do that? why not buy a used car, for a few months, and/or take the rest of the money and deposit it or invest it?

You then could re-sell the used car and make some of the money back?

is this a fake poster?

 

In NYC, I barely see one TL-S a week, and I drive all over....another reason why I went with the TL-S......

 

The most I've seen here is 3 in the same bank parking lot. My MRP, WDP and NBP.
I just don't understand why the OP would even go through all the financing hassle to have a car for a few months.
I guess it doesn't really matter, obviously he won't be missing the loss.

 

I live in Houston, TL type S everywhere(not with body kits though) 5 grand isn't a lot when you invest in cars because it will depreciate anyways. Financially.. obviously doesn't make sense, but a car has never been an investment for me, it's the value I get when I ride in it. Sometimes worth more..sometimes less.

 

Korrupted, when you really want something and you have a lot of $$$ I guess you can make such a poor financial decision.

My lease on my FX was over in September, I was going crazy trying to extend it till December, I got lucky I was able to, and in the mean time I was shopping for a TLS....

Korrupted which part of Crooklyn you are in? I'm in sheepshead.

 

NO, i'm real dude. I'll take pics of my TL soon. And then i'll take pics of the Ibis White A5 when i get it to prove i exist. Sorry, fellas, i logically agree with you all when it comes to losing the $$.

 

$5,000 for 60 days? If I really did have that choice of wasting 5K without thinking about them, I would go rent a freaken Lambo or Ferrari for week, and abuse the crap out of it....nah...probably will buy new pc.

To the OP, in way I agree with you, you do live only once! But, man, $5K and a hassle of selling the TLS....60 days pleasure riding? your choice of course....

I had my 08TLS for a month now, and I'm only now getting to "know" it

 

What is a "OP"?

 

lol

 

original poster

 

Guys - This has TROLL written all over it. If this were true, he would have simply canceled his order for his A5. Please do not feed the trolls (i.e. engage in replying to his post directly)

 

Ha ha...

I just ordered my GT-R... but my 2006 Supercharged TL was showing some miles, so I donated it to a veterans charity. I just picked up a new 2008 TL-S to hold me over until summer. I know I'll take a multi thousand dollar loss, but that's OK, I piss money, and that'll compensate.

I know it's a bad financial move, but that's what makes America great, poor financial decsions, and over extending my credit is how we roll today. The economy's strong, and loans are cheap...

...

Uh oh.

 

hahahaa...
don't u know some people in Houston, Texas are SUPER rich??

 

I've go down to Houston quite a bit and hardly see that many TL-S :o

 

Sure, and many of those aren't SUPER smart...

Congrats to the OP - both on his cars and disposable income...

 

wtf is a troll

 

Very true. I've only seen a handful.

 

Someone that shows their ugly head in a forum every once in a while to get you chasing your own tail.

 

you should have waitedd, but never the less enjoy ur type s for the 60 days u have it

 

Instead of losing $5K on Acura I would add another $5K and get myself a lovely S5 instead of girly underpowered A5.

 

This guy set him up for this.....It could be true and it's great to have the extra cash. I think I can say this from everyone here, nobody wants to hear you brag that you bought a TL as a mear 2 month toy until your other toy comes in. A lot of us here are financially well off but the ones who flaunt it, are the one's who spends a lot of time alone. Just my 2 cents....

 

lol

 

congratz on the car man, u should drive the hell out of it for the next 60 days

 

This is easily the dumbest thing I have ever heard in my entire life...

 

You're either:

A. Completely full of shit

B. A complete idiot

C. A complete idiot, that's also full of shit

Either way, enjoy!

 

I agree. I live and work in a semi large So Cal city of 100,000+ population and see more Lexus', and way more BMW's than TL's. I haven't seen one Type-S in my city and I like it that way. A car that isn't at every other light I pull up to.

 

Only $ 33,500 for a 08 TL-S wow was that used or brand new. Hello anyone I live in connecticut and all i can see on the dealer lots are 08 TL-S for $36,000-37,800 What should i be paying for a 2008 black TL-S now.

Thanks

 

Guess you didn't hear about the guy that put tranny fluid in his motor.

 

Dude... this guy is obviously just full of crap...

EVERYBODY on the internet says they paid thousands less than they actually DID. I would expect a reasonable price for an 08 to be between $35.5K and 37.5K depending on where you live...

The market is different EVERYWHERE and a deal in city "A" does not always equal city "B"... just do the best YOU can, for your area and availability.

 

Yes, a lot of people do that, I was watching Oprah yesterday (no flaming please), it is sad how financially unsound a lot of people are in the USA.
But I guess we shouldn't judge people, because it is their money they are spending.

I'm next door to you, Gravesend. I think I saw you on McDonald and 86th. There's another WDP floating around Bensonhurst.

 

Korrupted, lol, very possible...I'm always around Gravesend, I use that WAMU on Ave X...

it's small world...where do u go for a car wash? Ave Y & E 16th?

 

A5 is actually a pretty damn good looking coupe, 265hp, not bad. The rear reminds me of the bmw 335, a big trend in Brooklyn.

 

Nah, I do it in LI, they do a better job.

To get back on topic, b4 this get's closed, let's see what the OP does with the TL when you get's the A5.
