Yeah, well I pulled her car out for a while as I washed the red type s, but luckily I can still fit 3 cars in the garage even with all the baby toys we have accumulated. For now the red one will mostly just sit in that third bay and I will be driving the CBP type s until I receive the title and get the red one registered.

I thought of some of the issues that go along with an incredibly low mileage car and so far this one does not have any. I figured the tires would look dry rotted, but infact they are very soft and look like they could have just been installed by discount tire yesterday. The car rides perfectly smooth up to the highest speed of 90mph that I had it to on the drive home. From what I was told, this car just sat in a climate controlled garage it's entire life until the guy I bought it from was able to buy it. So even though I know cars are designed to be driven, atleast this one didn't spend years outside in the elements so I'm sure that helped a lot!!

Would be cool to keep both, but having two Type S's just isnt feasible financially or logically. So yeah it looks like the CBP will be listed for sale. Its gonna be hard to let that one go as it is literally like perfect condition in and out with very low mileage. Even the under carraige of that one looks almost brand spankin new as well. The original owner said it has never seen snow ever, and rarely rain. Usually when people say that im like yeah whatever, but when I took my first peak underneath the car and in the wheel wells and stuff I was like oh shit, this guy wasnt kidding. Whoever ends up with that 08 CBP is going to be one lucky person!

You through logic out the window when you have purchased 6 of the same vehicles.

Not necessarily, if I told you that I have actually made money on most of my TL's then maybe you would see why I keep buying them. Keep in mind I only buy if its an extremely clean car at a excellent deal. I know some guys here flame me when I mention my Corvettes, but to give you an example of that one. I bought the 06 Z06 with 7,300 miles for $40,500 a couple years ago. I drove the car most of the summer months, and sold it with 13,000 miles for $44,000. Now with that said, as with my 08 CBP I honestly had no intentions of selling that car, but like I said before when someone posted a thread for the rarest Type S ever with that mileage, I wanted it!! I plan on keeping the red Type S.

I forget the mileage of all of them, but I know my first Type S the KBP one that went to a forum member still has very low mileage because he does not drive it very often, maybe its in the 40K range now, I bought it with 27K.
My two black Type S's had the most miles of the bunch. One was in the 60's, and the other in the 50's. My CBP Type S was bought with 24K, it currently has 32. The red one was bought with 5,090, it currently has 5,800 from the drive from ATL to CHI.
Kind of funny that between my two Type S's they only have like 37K miles combined lol.

James-Congrats on the VERY low mileage TL-S!

Did you notice a big difference in the performance from the 5AT back to the 6MT?

One way plane ticket and drive it home! This method works great! If you are hesitant on buying a car site unseen, I can assure you there would be no disappointment with this one. Most one way plane tickets can be purchased for in the one hundred dollar range. Or shipping is always an option too. Just something to think about. Text or pm me if you want to discuss.
