2013 Acura ILX No Service Records
Hello Acura Owners,
I am very interested in buying an ILX with 22.5K miles from local non-Acura dealer. It is a Tech Package model. Carfax says previous owner leased it but nothing about any service ever done on the vehicle. One could say it was done by a local mechanic but really makes me wonder if they took good care of it.
What do you all think?

I leased 2013 and also didn't take my car in for service once to Acura as I did my own oil changes at my friends shop.
Not everyone takes their car in, especially oil changes on this car is so easy.
Personally, I'd get a independent mechanic check the car out. Even do a compression test and if everything checks out OK then buy the car!
I can assure you the 2.0 I had was bullet proof. Not a single issue in the 3 years I had it. When I turned it in, still drove like the first day I got it.

I'd err on the side of caution but up to you
