I've given this alot of thought and I decided to offer up my beloved TSX up for sale. At this point, I rarely drive it (put 3k miles on it in the past 15 months) so I'd like to move to another car with higher performance potential. Coincidentally, I found the car I'm looking for and I can't justify owning 3 cars (I have a VW Tiguan for the winter).

The price of this car is $22,000 obo (no trades). I am willing to accept reasonable offers, but low ballers will not receive a response. The car is fully paid off (title in hand) and in immaculate condition. I don't even drive it in the rain, let alone snow. Including the price of the car, I have invested over $70k into it so I'm looking to get around 1/3 of that back.

Additionally, I have two sets of wheels that I use with this car but only one of them will be included at this price. However, the buyer can choose either set.

To confirm, I will not be parting this car out. I put too much time and effort into it to see it dismantled and put back to stock. I want to sell it to someone who will appreciate as much as I have these past 6 years.


You can either PM me or e-mail me at dayta02@yahoo.com

Thanks for looking!

 

Some pics of the car:




















And here's an older pic with the Advans:

 

that car is super sexy man. dont know about the price though. I dont see anyone paying anywhere near 25k for it considering what you can get for that much. You'd prolly be better parting it out you'd make more

 

This is BY FAR the cleanest 1G TSX I've ever seen. Props to you and good luck with the sale :thumbusp:

 

Probably the cleanest tsx ive seen. Props

 

I respect your opinion, but I disagree. I can't think of any other car for sale that's as fully built out and with as many quality parts for $25k.

Considering the car stock can fetch at least $15-16k (given its relatively low miles), I think it's not outrageous to ask for an additional $9-10k for the parts and work I've put in. My dyno graph is identical in both output (to the wheels) and power under the curve to an E92 M3 (350whp/267wtq). There isn't one part of the car that hasn't been upgraded, which is actually why I'm moving on. Looking for my next money pit .

 

GLWS, can only imagine the ct-e charger @ 10LBs, must fly

 

WOW What a beautiful, extremely well modded car! If I was going to build a 1st gen, this is exactly what I would do. Good luck with the sale!

 

wow, man, that is the cleanest modded tsx i have seen.

and yes you are correct about not finding a modded tsx out there fully but there is some that are modded with super charger going fro $12k-16 but does have a lot more miles then you but again, when modding you never get what you paid, unless you part it out.

well i want to wish you the best, i would love to take this car but by even selling mine, i wouldnt be able to come up with that money.

 

Appreciate the comments, guys.

Thanks for the kind words. I know there have been a few other S/Ced TSXs going in that range, but as you said my car is as complete as can be. The stereo components and work alone cost me $8-9k about a year ago...

To that point, if anyone was really interested in the car I could put the stock stereo back in and drop the price a few $k. Let me know, people.

 

Very well done. Love 1st gens.

 

Your car is amazing!!! Very well done! What's next?

 

Don't want to jinx saying what it is before I sell my car, but I'll just say it's within the same family


Sorry for the crappy iPhone pic, but here's the new box that was built for the water/meth reservoir. IMO, it gives the trunk a much classier appearance.

 

So freakin' sexy. What speaker components do you have?

 

And do you have a video or sound clip at WOT?

 

See list in first post for full list of mods.

 

If anyone is interested, I can swap the upgraded stereo components for OEM and drop the price to $22k.

Let me know .

 

bump for the sickest tsx i've ever seen. glws

 

wow.. that thing is beautiful.
esp with the advans.

not looking for a new car at the moment but wow..

 

Free bump for a good dude

 

Thanks for the kind words, guys. I've loved owning this car, but I think it's time to move on.


Hey bro, good to see you still around these parts


Guys, I just bought a house so I'm a little strapped for cash. Willing to take reasonable offers...

 

Pmed you

 

^^^ to the top

 

You should post a mileage update.

 

Honestly, I've driven it less than 1k miles in the past year so there is no mileage update to give .

This is yet another reason why I feel like the car is going to waste. Shoot me some offers!

 

Final price drop:

$22k for everything!

If I can't sell the car at this price, I'm just going to keep it.




mod edit-updated

 

In case anyone wanted confirmation of the dyno results, figured I should post this:



Derek Robinson @ IMW, one of the best K-Pro tuners out there, can confirm these numbers.

 

Such a nice car. I look at this car everyday, so dont SELL IT!

 

Thanks man...but if you want to look at this car everyday in person, you should buy it!

 

The price caught me off guard a bit. I'm not sure there's a dealer that could sell a stock/cpo version of that car with that mileage for $22k. Then I scrolled down to the pics, and this thing is very tastefully done with care and quality. I still think the price is too high given the age and amount of modifications. That said, you've done a fine job with it. Good luck!

 

I don't even see how you could get tired and want to move on from something like this .

 

I respect your opinion but I disagree about it being priced too high. I have modified every aspect of the car to transform it into a very well-balanced car (most people focus solely on performance vs aesthetics vs ICE). There is no area of the car that overshadows/overpowers another.

Additionally, the parts I have used are either of the highest quality or custom-made specifically for my car. For example, you will not find another TSX with my header-back exhaust system, my aftercooler set up, or the stereo set up in my trunk.

I have spent over $40k in mods on the car, and considering the trade-in value is still at $15-16k I don't think an extra $6k is too much to ask for the amount of additional time and money I've put into the car.

 

amazing car...I've purchased it a million times in my mind.

 

Do you have any detailed interior pics of the car?

 

Pic of the MS-8 controller installed into the dash. Color combo matches the silver trim almost perfectly.

The red "missile" switch activates the water pump for the heat exchanger of the aftercooler. I just thought it looked cool .





Pic of the center stack and AEM gauges built into the "Not An Ashtray" cubby.

You can also get a better view of the LED strips installed in the foot wells.





Aside from that, the interior is pretty much bone stock because I wanted to keep the OEM look.

There is very little wear on the seats. Because it's always been my weekend car, I can count the times I've had passengers in the car on one hand .

 

Got your message and responded but for some reason it's not showing my response. Anyway, I have a paralyzed arm and unfortunately can't drive stick so sadly this beauty right here isn't an option for me! GLWS!

 

I would love to sell my accord and buy this! bump for a Beautiful vehicle!

 

Do it it's such a beast...

 

bump
