No leads to offer - but wondering why you are so exact on what you want - if just a dd?

Funny, I got myself into a 14 RDX-not by choice-but do I ever like it.
It pulls hard!!! That little 3.5 V6 get's up and go's!

If you like the v6 you should take the older boosted 4 out for a rip. It destroys the v6.

found a Tl Type S. took it out for tear, nice car, was negotiating, and comes back a few minutes later and told me a kid came in this week and checked it out, apparently had an appointment today at 1pm and laid down the cash. wasn t happy. oh well, it is all for a reason. was priced right, all the others around are OVER priced.

The 6spd has brembo, has lsd, but it's a 3.2 and softer suspension.

I have the a-spec suspension in mine + type -s sways. Love it.

Here is my 08 Type S, best car I have ever owned and in my opinion one of the sexiest 4dr sedans on the road. Head over to Acurazine for more info regarding the car or ask away. I have done a few mods that really make it a fairly capable car.

No love for the G37? I think you get more bang for your buck with the Infiniti and the build quality is comparable. There are 2010s on Kijiji with less than 80k and asking prices under 18 grand. That means they still have a chunk of the 6 year 110 powertrain warranty and that model is the current look to 2013. Also the 06-08 Audi S4 can be had for around 20k and this is a lot more car but maybe not quite with the Japanese level of reliability (although with used that varies with the owner).

More options give you more chances to get a killer deal.

I have an 07 TL-S as a daily driver. It's probably the best overall car I've owned, and I've owned a lot of them.

I have 200km and it's been all trouble free! Just the regular oil change, brake pad, tire rotation intervals. Japanese luxury at its finest.

I've been looking at the new TLX but it's hard to match the blend the 07/08 TL-S offers...

nice, i think i have found another one. 2007 135k, dealer is getting me the scoop on it tomorrow, am hoping it is a 6 spd. i don t see much difference in the 07 to the 08 except maybe a better nav. does your 07 have premium sound system Steve ? i can t see anything that i like better, reviews favor the S over the G.
