Brother, I'm so sorry to see you sold your Type S. I loved your look, with the grill and the red trim on the wheels/tires.

Let us know what you decide to get. I hope you got your money's worth while you had it and I hope you got what you wanted for it when you sold it.

I know what you mean about selling the TL-S. Had to sell mine as well. Replaced it with a 06 Honda CR-V and a 03 350Z. It was'nt easy to let her go. But sometimes you gotta do what ya gotta do. Good luck with your next whip..........

Thx for the Kind Words.

Well I sold it for $600 less than what I owed, but i just looked at that $600 as a another car payment. lol

You're right, the decision wasn't easy. I actually procrastinated for about 3 months before I made my move...3 weeks later, it was SOLD. Car will be miss, BUT NOT THE PAYMENTS ($550)

I should be picking up a 04 TSX 6MT this W/E tastefully modded with 74K miles for $10,500 with a monthly payment for $203

Sold it to private buyer for $25,700,

I owed $26,300 But like i said earlier, that $600 lost was like another car payment

That was one awesome ride man... But at the end of the day it all comes down to your priorities... Any-day a house is a better investment than a car... Good Luck

Btw Im curious on how many miles you had on the car when you sold it and how much did you spend in mods on the TLS ?

Not in this crappy economy. I bought a house preconstruction in 04 for a good price and it has depreciated a lot lower. Now I am stuck with it until this market comes back if ever. I don't have any real money problems but this house is a huge burden.

Good luck man.

Thx.

Tsx much slower & Not as much luxury compared to the TL-S.

With that said, Im pretty much satisfied with the TSX, great car non the less.

PLUS i got a GREAT DEAL on it with a few mods....DID I MENTION THAT I WILL BE SAVING $340 a MONTH...lol

Real Talk, I kinda' wish I bought a TSX instead of my TL sometimes. So much better on gas and somewhat cheaper/easier to work on. Either way, if this TSX is a "down-grade" in it's current form, I wonder what an upgrade will look like in a few years . hahaha G'job man.
