Personally I'd prefer to buy it CPO, you get a better warranty then if you bought new.

Meh . . . I don't care if it looks horrible as long as it does its job. I had learned this from when I had picked up my new car 6 years ago as is to see some rock chips on the bumper and hood after driving it down from NJ.

Very nice! How many rolls did you use to do that? Will one or two suffice?

And I have finally found my replacement car! It's an '07 CBP TL Type-S w/ ebony/silver interior with 33K miles. Not only that, it's also a CPO. I'm scheduled to pick it up on Saturday in Woodside, NY. Anyone want to meet along the way? lol

I can get away with using one role for about 3 or 4 uses. Hopefully I’m not to late.

Did you pick up the CBP TL-S?

Either you're too late or I'm too late. Nonetheless, it wouldn't have been effective since I was in a snow storm when I had picked it up Saturday.

Yep, I sure did! I drove it down in the snow for a couple of hours and then we stopped at a hotel until the snow had melted. Too many accidents on the road, too. 33.8K miles on this baby now and one hell of a road trip! If you ever decide to go up north in your car, avoid the tolls because that's really costly!
