TL Type S upgrade....56k meh only if you have a little time to kill

Well I got my TLS about 4 years ago and while it has served me well and I have loved every day I owned the car it was time for something new something Differant...

So of course I bought another newer TLS..
I will miss my old 2g

Here are a couple pics from the dealership when i pulled the new one up to transfer some of my stuff over.


I have had it for about a week today was its first bath so of course I had to take a few pics. It was so overcast that they didn't come out great.

Sorry for all the pics I am a proud papa.... Still trying to get used to the color as I have always had either white or black cars all my life

Ahhhh the lexus IS F .... Didn't even think about it ...

Sorry if the pics are showing up that way for you on my screen they are in a perfect line going down might be the way Chrome displays it as opposed to other browsers. But in the future I will be sure to press enter twice.

Yeah I wish I would have had the forethought to bring my camera with me but the camera phone pics didn't come out to bad.. I will absolutely hold on to them.

Yeah Rick case.. I have always had my 02 Serviced The experiance overall was good but must admit very long. I went in around 11am and didnt leave with the car until around 7:30 at night they were nice enough to order lunch for me while I was there. It was the last TL-s they had on the lot.


awesome photos. love the KBP colour and yes congrats on a good purchase. must feel good to drive a 286bhp monster!!

Yeah I love the way the car drives but it takes so much self restraint to properly break it in I am up to 330 miles I hope I can make it.

ya know, the 3G is a hot car.. and KBP is a nice color... but DAMN.. i think your old car was better looking... i absolutely LOVE 2G WDP TL-S with OEM lip kit..... sexiest combo of ANY TL ever in my opinion... looks real JDM and reminds me of the legend

I do like it but if I had to do it all over again I think I would go with WDP I must admit I miss that color. I am sure once I have an opportunity to Lower it with a nice set of 19's or 20's and tint I will really like the KBP.
