If there's any chance you can keep both...I'd do that! 
I'm inferring you mean My04 S2000? If so, selling that will leave a void...you'll miss it dearly.
TL is a solid car though, I love them so much I have 2...
About getting a good deal, IMO...gotta be realistic...you'll either get a great car with decent mileage and maintenance done and pay for it...or you'll get a cheap one with rebuilt title or something that needs some elbow grease. If you have the drive and means...get the one that needs some love. Nothing like putting your own spin on it and sitting back and seeing your hard work turn into your pretty car.
Good luck, man!

Dealers want an arm and a leg for a low mileage type s and private sellers are few and far between. It's a struggle

Gotcha...well at least you know, you'll be able to get top dollar for your S2000! Bone stock low mileage safe color...you're gonna get a good amount of cash for it!
Good luck, man...
the TL is everything the S2000 isn't...which is why I suggested keeping both, but you already got the plan. Get one when it makes sense down the line.
I wish you luck in your search...too bad you're not looking for a base TL 6MT

This whip is ugly. Should have just left the TL scene!
Totally kidding! Looks amazing, as does your other TL, and I'm sure will progress quite well!
What part of Florida are you in? I used to live in Tampa / St. Pete prior to my TL days. Would be nice to see a fellow Type S member if I make my way down there this year.

I live in Plantation...a few hours out from Tampa...
Ironically, I drove and to Charlotte with the blue car on the way home...and stayed with the snob below.
This guy...man of few words but many posts.

Literally the last step would be base amber diffusers in the headlights. Which, IMO, would look siiiiiick on KBP.
But I know it's not your thing.
Actually base amber + matching amber calipers

Thanks...I do love the color!
Chad, if the base heads used the same slim ballasts and same sockets, I'd just hang onto my other set of headlights and swap them in here and there. Although the fact that the old drl/fog area looks so different would still bother me. These are clean and sealed up perfectly so I'm definitely not tempting fate and changing any of that out. Plus, right now I'm running all white up front, which you can't do with the parking lights behind the amber because it looks green.

I get it man. Hell no I'd never put base heads on a type-s. But I'd put a base diffuser in type-s heads. I know the feeling of once they are sealed and perfect not wanting to touch them again though! Haha. I don't think I could have done a more professional job sealing/wiring/weatherproofing than I did the last time I cracked them open. I'm not touching them.
I want to find a pic of yours, at just the right angle, and photoshop the ambers into the heads and color match the calipers. Just out of curiosity. Gimme a few days.

thanks man...
it's hit or miss...this car looks good with just about anything you slap on it.
I need to figure out doing the white sidemarkers to match my backup set...but other than that. I love the red...I guess in a way, the no color rears would work too...since the car would be totally colorless save for the blue when the lights are off.
