Proud owner of a NEW TL-S!
"New" to me anyway! I picked up a 2008 KBP TL-S last week and I'm loving it! 
It only has 14.5k miles on it and it even still smells new. The only thing it needs is tinted windows. Here's a picture from the ad; I'll post better pics when it finally stops raining every weekend around here.

I paid the $32k Car Max no-haggle price for it. Traded a 2002 Kia Sedona for it, which basically paid the tax, title, and tags. Are there better deals to be had? I'm sure there is, but it is worth every penny in my book. The whole deal was very easy - I showed up at 11:00, and was out the door at 2:00 with everything done.

Don't make the same mistake I did with the window tint, get yourself some moleskin to protect your tint, or else you'll have to replace it in short order like I do due to scratching

Thanks for all the positive comments! I had to "settle" for the 5AT. My 15yo daughter is learning to drive and I need an auto to teach her on. I would be endangering our own lives plus anyone on the sidewalks if she had to drive a stick. Besides, I have an 02 RSX-S that I get my 6-sp fix in.

Congrats on the purchase! As others have said, welcome to the KBP club
You'll soon realize that we do indeed have a rare color I waited over three months from the time I ordered mine to the day I received it. But that wait was worth it!
Def get some pics up soon, though I have no room to talk because I don't even have any pics of mine on here and I've had it for over two years! I just have pics of my mods
Congrats again!
