Sent you a PM. The 07/08's are virtually identical. I still need to update my GPS on the new disc.

The sound system only came one way for the S, 6 disc..sub lots of speakers. It's a great car, you won't be disappointed.

This is was my first auto car (I looked at 6sp for a year). At the time I couldn't find one that didn't have a clean history/colour I wanted.

my hopes went all down the tubes, again this morning, someone give my guy the wrong info. is a 2004 S. i have no interest in that, then he said his other dealership had a very nice TL, but i told him that one sold the other day, not really looking for Tl, so, i will keep searching, if anyone hears of an S, i m in.

thanks al

no TL Type S around, that are reasonable, may have to look to a Tl, even they are hard to find, for what i am looking for.

And it is easy to take the rear sub connection, wire it into an amp, and add a bit more boom boom lol. Still have the ability to control the gain from the deck which is a win-win.

Took me 6 months to find the perfect Type S and it was at an Acura dealership in Quebec. Go with the Type S and don't look back, good luck.

WHY?

Almost guaranteed to find one with under 100,000 km!
Guess they don't drive much there!

I too have been through the Montreal and surrounding area; and seen them drive.
Just suggesting their cars seem to have fewer kilometers on the odometer than the condition of the car would indicate. Just sayin'.

Bonne journee!

Wait until you replace your shocks, they won't come out of the holder and will be rusted in for sure in the front. Add an extra 100 bucks to get new parts from the dealer. The way they were designed they won't come out lol I had to sawzall mine when I installed the a-spec suspension at 180k
