Found a one owner 2007 TSX Base 5AT, 57 year old gentleman, selling for $8500.
Has all maintenance records.
I have read many reviews on edmunds and cars.com. Many complain about bad rotors/brakes on TSX.
Is this true , was there ever a TSB ?
With under 50k miles would this TSX still be under warranty or not since it is 10 years old?

Thanks fellas.

 

No more warranty. No TSB. Better go buy it before it's gone since that's a pretty dang good deal if no issues on the car. He can probably get more for it with a trade in. My rear brakes went out around 60k so I replaced both front and rear. I'm still on stock rotors @ 90k now but am changing my rotors and pads soon since my rear rotors are getting towards min specs.

 

Thanks pwpTsx2007. Yes , I most likely will as it is in pristine condition. I will make sure to post pics.

 

The bad rotors/brakes is more of a result of driving style and/or conditions. Up side of the newer brake pads are they will last up to +100,000 miles, the downside is they can unevenly deposit brake pad materials onto the rotors to feel like they are warped when they are really not. It took me about 75,000 miles before I felt the "warped" feeling when stopping at higher speeds (like hwy off ramp). Just upgrade the pads is an easy fix with the upside with better brake feel and the downsides of possibly more brake dust or shorter pad life.

I would plan on changing all fluids (brake, power steering, antifreeze, oil, 5AT), check alignment, make sure the TSB for the power steering hose was done, replace air/cabin filter, check battery if OEM, check electrical system, and replace serpentine belt (since time is more of an issue compared to mileage).

 

Thanks Mrgold35, all fluids , but trans oil, have been changed within 2 months. TSB hose not done.
Check electrical system if battery is OEM? i.e. lights front/rear/, if windows go up and down?
What will a serpentine belt change cost?

Thanks

 

Your wear/tear will be from time instead of mileage.

I just replaced my alternator on my 06 TSX. I seems to go out with time instead of mileage. I would also do a load test on the battery; especially, if it is still OEM. I usually get around 5-6 years from an aftermarket battery (3-4 years from OEM battery). Others had issues with power draws, issues with starters, or grounding issues from bad grounding cables.

I did the serpentine belt change that included a kit and I did it at the dealership. I can't remember what the cost was, it was probably around $100 maybe (I did it along with other services). It would be a one and done change for another 7-9yrs or 100,000 miles.

Other than routine maint (fluids, plugs, serpentine belt, tires, brakes), I had pretty good luck with my 06 with only needing a front control arm, rear camber kit, alternator, and 2 batteries after 125k.

 

105K here on my 2004 and the only out of the ordinary maintenance items have been a clutch master cylinder and front O2 sensor. Otherwise, just oil changes, battery, tires, and spark plugs.
