Moving On

Hey everyone,

Well it's official the Type S is sold. It was a great 6 years of ownership, car gave me no issues at all however I was dealing with 2 cars and wanted to consolidate into a single car that I can enjoy all year long (yes the TL may have been fine with winter tires). Either way I have sold the car of to someone that will probably frequent this forum and loves the car, hopefully he introduces himself. Well I have moved on to something with a little bit more power and sounds hellla good, Mercedes C43 AMG. Got it in brilliant blue (very similar to KBP TL I had) and I absolutely love it!.

I'll be sticking around and helping moderate as my mother still owns her RDX.

Congrats! I also did the same move as you a month ago. Moved on from my '04 TL to the C450 AMG (2016 model of the C43). I agree it is a great daily driver and I love the exhaust crackle and the sound of it downshifting.

Post more pics of the new ride! Also, what options did you get?

I will post more pictures soon. The spec I got was;
1. Premium Package
2. AMG Driver Package
3. Upgraded 19" wheels
4. Heads Up Display

I picked a car that was already here, didn't order it from factory.

I'm about to sell a Type S as well. However, the replacement will be more modest than your Mercedes C43 AMG. Congratulations.

Sorry for the delay. Been crazy busy with travel and crappy weather here haven't been able to do a proper photo shoot (being a photographer I'm disappointed as well). I just got her tinted yesterday, have a few more aesthetic mods I want to do (black out the front lip and rear diffuser)
Here is one pic I took today to show off the tint.
