Finally found my Type-S

Back in 2007 I remember looking at a Type-S but they were out of my price range so I settled on a TSX. Ever since then I've been looking for one. Well I finally found what I was looking for! A garage kept 2007 with only 28k miles. It's almost too good to be true. The car is immaculate and has been maintained at the dealership since day one. Needless to say I'm stoked!

Looks like it just rolled off the showroom floor. Congrats on the pickup, about as clean as an 8yr old car can be.

Not cracking, just a crease.

Funny, I saw that too, but opted not to comment on it and rain on OP's purchase.

Depending on where you live, you may find the tint beneficial. Having a black car with a mostly black interior will tend to keep the car very hot during summer months and make the A/C work that much harder. It's now your car so you cando as you wish, but you might want to live with the car for a couple of weeks and then make a decision.

Buying a TSX when you really want a TL kind of sucks. Been there. TSX is a nice car and I enjoyed mine but it just wasn't a TL.

its hard to find a good car under $20,000 today, even if it is a few years old.. And yours has very low miles. That's kinda what makes it so good.

Nice car...I want a type S, I'm stuck with my TL for now.

Did you remove the tint yourself?

If you did, what is the best way to remove the tint from the back window and not screw up the defroster??

Congratulations on your purchase, you've made a great choice! The TSX looks awesome, nice find! I like the all black look on it!

What are your plans for this beauty?

I feel the same way, wish I would of gone Type-s. I'm just planning on converting slowly, you should do the same!
