Bought a new used TSX

As a result of an unfortunate accident, my girlfriend ended up getting a replacement car. She settled for a Milano Red 07 TSX Auto non-Navi for $21600. This is Acura Certified car with 20k miles. I believe this is a very nice price for the car in almost a mint condition. The dealer we got it from is going to get us brand new winter mats and the trunk tray to sweeten the deal. They also hooked us up with 3-months XM trial. Any opinion on the price? I am curious what others have paid recently for used TSX'es
After playing with some settings etc, I noticed that our TSX does not have auto-lock doors. Am I missing something in the manual, or this car for real does not have this feature?
Thank you

Congrats on the car, I don't know about the 07s but the 04s and 05s did not have that annoying feature. My wife's Mini has it and I am very tempted to go to the dealer and have that deactivated. I think you got a good price, have fun with it, the car is not the fastest around but it is one of the best handling cars. If you get a chance go up and down some windy roads, it will definitely put a smile on your face.

The car really doesn't have the auto lock feature. I thought it was strange when I got mine too. Speaking of mine, It's an '06 and had 36,000 miles on it when I got it a year ago. I paid 20,000 plus TT&L for it. It's got the nav package and a manual tranny. I don't know what the 2007s usually go for but Edmunds lists 19.8 for it, KBB lists 22.7 for it, and NADA (which is what most financing agencies use IIRC) lists it at 20.7. Your 21.6 seems a little high to me, but if it's what you want you should be happy with it.

You should be happy with your purchase. That car will probably last you a very long time with regular maintenance and give you very little trouble. Grats on the new car and I'd welcome you to Azine, but since you have 450 posts, you're not exactly new anymore. I guess a welcome to the girlfriend is in order then.

first-it does not have auto-lock doors. Sounds like a good price-might have been able to get it for a lower price but now just enjoy it. I also own a Milano red tsx but with 6MT and nav. Love it. Now has almost 96,000 problem free miles. Try to get some free oil changes.

I got an 08 with 19K miles 6 speed with Navi for 26K so that price seems about right. Though I coudl never buy an acura without Navigation...... And the 3 month XM trial is standard when you buy a cpo'd car from acura

I just bought a Certified 2006 Black/Tan 6MT TSX with 26,000 miles for $17,860. (It was listed at $20,900 on the Acura CPO website...and I did some negotiating with the dealer.) The car is in mint condition, looks and smells new.

Just a very nice, fun-to-drive car for the money. There's a reason the first generation TSX made Car & Driver's 10 Best Cars list three years in a row. I can't imagine paying the same or more than what several of us here have paid and buying say, a new Civic.
