Hello guys,
A little over a month ago, I posted a thread on here about my TL Type S that got totaled during a road trip to Tampa, FL. I also posted the thread asking for experiences from people who've upgraded from a Type S to a Lexus IS 350 F-Sport. Well I decided against the IS after quite a few TLs showed up locally for me to consider.
I spent the entire month of December checking out any new TLs that went up for sale. Some of them I passed on, some of them fell through at the bank, and finally I found one at CarMax - I had it transferred down here to Miami from the very city that took my car away from me.
The one I found sits at 100,700 miles at the time of sale, with no accidents, and only one owner before me, who took the time to fill in that maintenance journal that comes with the car when it's new. It sold for $16,998. My payments are $120 less than before, due to a much lower interest rate and more time to pay it off, so I'm definitely happy about that. I never thought I'd like the ASM color, but seeing it in person definitely changed my mind.
Also, some of you might remember me asking how to remove the rubber moulding - it was because I was considering this car. But I think I might leave it...it doesn't look that bad to me.

The paint of the front bumber is almost too perfect!
