High milage TSX worth buying
Anyone have thoughts of me buying a high milage TSX 2005 with 80 778 miles or 130 000 km.
Owned a 90 accord before with 185 789 miles on it the car ran well just the body fell apart.
People tell me after 74 554 miles the engines run less better then before more vibration less power, maybe true or not i don`t know...

If its cheap then I say go for it. I remember seeing an 04 TSX, auto, non-nav, with 145,000km at a local Honda dealer for $14,900.
I have 126,000km on mine and there is nothing wrong. Other than I just had my transmission replaced but that was a total different issue. Nothing to worry about.

Oliver!!!
If the price is good, and its in good shape, and has been properly cared for, you shouldn't have anything to worry about. My first car was an old Accord ('82.) It had almost 200k miles, not sure what that equates to in kms, but it still ran great. I gave it to my dad when his K car threw a rod. If you properly maintain a Honda, they'll go over 200k miles easy, and run great all the way.
At 81k, you'll want to look into whether or not the timing chain was replaced yet or not. If it hasn't, not a big deal, but something to consider doing in the near future. And at that mileage, it might vibrate a bit at idle, but thats mostly due to wear and tear on the motor mounts. Its normal, all cars go through that. With good maintenance, you can get back most of the power it had when it was brand new. And the community here can help you out with that.
