New Type S on the road

Hey everyone

First I would like to say thanx to everyone for their great contribution to the board. Your knowledge and input has made me a believer and as of 1400 today I am an elated owner of a KBP Type S. So far so good with no rattles
Silver/ebony interior automatic. Cheers!!

Sunnyvale Acura, they still have one more KBP type s but with Taupe if you want it. Some black and silver Type S too, they are running low now.

Got mine with 3 miles on the odometer, had to rip all the covering off the dash, door and seats to test drive it. Bought it with 12 miles on the odometer, 9 miles of test drive. All mine hehe.

That's the combo I was looking for, but couldn't located one with a manual transmission.

Settled with the Carbon Bronze Pearl with Taupe interior.

Congrats and enjoy this awesome car!

I'm very happy with my '07 TL-S, especially over the '06 TL I had, rattles didn't show up as early as they did on the '06, 4000 miles verses 1000 miles.

And except for the dead battery at 7000 miles, everything else is good!

Welcome...

Sorry you spent the money on that protective coating. It's auto dealer "snake oil"! I am not sure what is under warranty for the paint. This is the paint protection stuff they are advertising, yes? There is no product that can prevent scratches and swirls from happening. You probably would have been better off getting a clear bra and tint installed for that price.

I bought the same car about a week before you. Everyone loves the color. According to the service manager this color is somewhat difficult to get and with no Type S since 03, and the model change next year this car will be a collectors item. He told me that he was planing to buy the car I bought, but I purchased it before he had a chance to bring his wife down to look at it. He bought another black TL. I love mine, it is one of the best driving sedans I have ever driven.

maybe I am reading wrong but the acura.com site has the 08 with everything the 07 has, so I don't think the 07 tl-s/08 tl-s will be the last...
