Traded in 2008 TL-S for 2008 Evo X

Just wanted to officially introduce myself to the forum. Like the title says I had a 2008 TL type S, and traded it in on a 2008 ww gsr.

I still think the 3rd gen TL is one of the nicest overall cars you can buy (for the price range), but I became extremely bored driving the car. I bought an auto so that my wife could drive it, and that pretty much killed any fun you could have in the car.

So anyway out with the old in with the new. I have been waiting a while to get an X, but with my negative equity I just couldn't pull myself to do it. Then on Oct 1st when the 0% was offered on all new GSR's I new it was the time.

Only have 600 miles on the car, but looking forward to an endless possiblity of mods in the near future.

List of previous cars:
2000 Mercury Cougar (at least it had a V6 )
2004 Neon srt4
2007 Civic Si
2008 Acura TL-S
2008 Evo X

Glad to be here, and hope to learn from you guys.

Welcome to the boards and congrats! Acura TL-S are nice but can't touch an Evo in performance.

I felt the same boredom when I had sold my Evo 8 and got a BMW 5 series. I think I'm going to keep my X for awhile.....

I didn't do nearly as bad as I thought I would of to be honest. I got $29,500 on my trade.....I didn't think that was to bad at all given the current economic situation. I was also able to get the Evo for slightly less than invoice.

yeah thanks. I do miss some of the features the TL had, but the performance of the X more than makes up for that.

I am very happy with the trade so far.
