Proud new Type-S owner!

Pulled the trigger on one tonight! Couldn't pass up an example like this!

2007 ASM Type-S with ebony
Certified
1 owner (62 year old at that)
17,200 miles exactly after my 40 mile drive home
All for $26,300.

Exterior/Interior near perfect condition, I found one tiny rock chip on the front bumper, and the passenger mirror has one small nick in the paint.

Loved the ride home, that's for sure!

I'll post some pics as soon as I figure out how. Do I need to be past "New member" status to post pics?

Also, anyone have a tint shop they recommend in the Chicagoland area, NW suburbs ideally?

Thanks everyone! Loving the car! I couldn't wait any longer and I'm currently sitting at the tint shop getting 35% put on. It is an automatic. The wife doesn't drive stick, so the 6 speed unfortunately wasn't an option. I'll try to get some pictures up soon, a little busy with the holidays but I'll get them here! Next I think I'll get the bluebat over lays for the amber part of turn signal, I can't stand that orange.

Upated with Pics!

OK, sorry for the delay, got busy with the holiday and all, but here are some initial pics! These are going to be before the tint. The weather looks to be better today, so I should be able to get some good shots with the tint and I'll post those up later on. Hopefully I get these pics posted right...









And one of the odometer as I pulled into my garage the night I got it:



And yes, I would have liked the 20% tint, but here in IL, 35% is the legal limit, and I didn't want any issues with that, so I stuck to what was legal. I'm still happy with it.

Just ordered the the HID Fog conversion from HIDExtra.com while it was half off today, so those will be the next mod when they come in.

And thanks everyone for the congrats!

Thanks. It is on the high end of the price range around here, but only about two or three grand more than most. All of the others have more like 40 to 60K on them. I decided that with the cat in the condition it is in, it being exactly the color combo I was looking for, and the mileage being so low, i couldn't pass it up. Plus with it being certified and getting the wrap coverage, I'm under full warranty for about 3 more years, which is nice peace of mind.

I can't stop looking at this damn car! I'm 26 and this is my 9th car, and I can without a doubt say that this is my favorite car yet. I don't see myself switching for a long time this time around.

Now to save for the A spec kit...

I bought that exact same car and color back in Dec 2006 and sold it a year later. WOW, I miss that car. Getting rid of my Camaro soon. I hope by July 2012 I can buy a WDP 2007 OR 2008 Type-S with low mileage like you did. I have had 3-TL's and there is so much you can MOD on them, BE CAREFUL brother and ENJOY your awesome new ride
