Upgraded to a TL-S

Hi everyone,

Long time lurker, first time poster (I think; it's been so long - I don't ever remember posting)... Over the weekend, I fell into an '08 Black on Black TL-S, certified with 17k miles on the odo. Added the extended warranty (at almost no charge) to cover it for 7yrs/100k miles.

Previous car was an '06 Anthracite TL 6MT w/ navi (bought new in Nov'06), traded at 57k miles... got married, had a kid = bye bye MT for me.

I was initially sad while I was swapping my stuff into the TL-S, but quickly got over it thanks to an hour long therapy sesssion with the subtle rumble of the TL-S motor and exhaust. For anyone who says there's not a significant difference b/w the 6MT and S auto, I beg to differ... maybe not in quickness, but certainly in aesthetics - specifically, style and sound from my perspective. This car is sweet

Thanks man! I was looking for the right one for quite some time... hopefully, the right S comes into your radar this summer. Should be quite a few out there in the marketplace.

Congrats! I am considering making the same move...06 WDP Base w/Nav to an 07/08 WDP Type S. I am currently trying to make a deal on an 07 wdp w/blk interior, but the difference is not worth it at this point...if they come down on price or give me a little more on trade, I think I'll make the move.

Here are a couple pics from earlier today... It was sparkling Saturday night... hope to have time to clean it up this weekend. Chicago winters suck.

Thanks guys. I almost feel ashamed that my car looks that dirty with all the clean ones shown on here. Oh well.

Don't feel too bad. Soon you'll get to experience the joys of Brembo brake dust. Let's just say it's a good thing our wheels are gunmetal.
