Tu I too have been looking for a new DD I looked at the TL-S also, very hard to find specially a 6spd. Recently I've moved more to wards a TSX, actually I'm going to look at one tomorrow.

Kamal, when did you ditch your s2k for the E92?

Cokeman... It is hard to find a TL-S. I'm trying to find one with a decent price in automatic. Preferably a white one.

Kamal said he would ditch his S2000 for an E92... he hasn't done it (yet).

IMO, the S2000 is a MUCH different car than the E92 or TL-S. The S2000 isn't really a practical car and if you are looking for more space, then ANYTHING with a back seat would help. That said, I'm going to get a more practical car in the near future since being a homeowner, the occasional need to bring more than 2 people around and just having something more practical to drive to work and long trips justifies the want/need.

So IMO, if you are single and have disposal income, then go for it. Just keep in mind that if you plan to mod the E92, it's going to be considerably more expensive.

Keith, thank you for your input and advice. As far as modding if I were to get the E92, it would be subtle mods.

You'll have better luck with an auto when I was looking I found a few that passed me scrutiny Low miles and certified used. The only problem is the S Type was only made for two years 07 08. Prices range from $27,000 - $31,000 that was last year so prices might have drop slightly.
Did a quick search...
TL Type s

I don't really like to give advice to people, so I will tell you what I tell anyone else... Do what makes you happy!

It's a great car and I still find my self looking at pictures of it quite often and showing my friends pics of it... but if you wanna move on do it, just lemme know about them v3's if you decide to part it out! haha

It's pretty bad that we are all descending on the car like vultures before he's even made up his mind.

That being said, dibs on the LMs.
