So, I got my TSX about three weeks ago. I want to start by saying that I absolutely love the car. But, I am in that state when you first get a car where you get an ulcer over little things.

The car had some serious test drive mileage (~270) when I got it. There is a scratch on the radio face that was there when I got it, but I forgot to mention it when the dealer called me to ask me if I had any problems. Then I got caught up with work and such and now it is too late to mention ("Sure the scratch was there three weeks ago when you got the car"). I am kicking myself. There are quite a few other minor scratches in the interior, but they don't bother me like the one on the radio.

I'm not looking for a solution for this, I just had to vent. The scratch really isn't that bad, really.

Otherwise, I am loving the car. It is a lot of fun to drive, especially now that I am starting to get used to a manual again. And I have seen plenty of people (hotties) do double-takes.

I am getting 35% tint this week (I'd love to go 5%, but they are Nazi's here about it). I will post some pics once I get that done, if anyone cares to see.

 

awesome and congrats!

where in NC are you from?

 

I'm from Winston-Salem, how 'bout yourself? I actually just moved here from TN a couple months ago.

 

>> The car had some serious test drive mileage (~270) when I got it.


you put on those mileage ?

 

It's just a vehicle! You're gonna be in a world of hurt when you get your first ding from someone pushing a shopping cart into it. Just my

 

Yeah, for real. I always antagonize over my cars for the first year or so. Then my sphincter tone goes way down.

Actually I only put 20 or so of the miles on the car. Seemed weird that it had so many miles on it to me, too.

 

WHY OH WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU ACCEPT "NEW" CAR WITH 250 MILES ON IT ?!?!

 

Yea thats what I was wondering? Unless they gave you a reduction in final price??? When I purchased my ABP in Dec. 03, my baby only had 11 miles racked on her; to date she has 30,800

 

you know what will hurt more???

your FIRST accident with it...
your FIRST scratches from other cars after you left it in the parking lot...
people not respecting your car and kicking the interior everytime they go thorugh the doors.....

trust me, after awhile, it won't hurt as bad...but still hurts inside~

 

It's a little late to go back on it now but you still have the warranty on it. It was probably a demo car.


btw..I'm from Charlotte

 

Congrats. welcome to the forum

 

All of the demo cars I've seen have had on the order of thousands of miles. I didn't think 250 was too outrageous for a car that had sat on the lot for several months.

And I did get a pretty good deal, considering the undesirability of my trade.

 

It was probably a demo, but don't feel so bad, the K24 is bulletproof and the car was never titled so the full warranty belongs to you.

I had 100 miles on mine when I bought it...no worries

 

Welcome!

 

That is true. After the firest few scratches you will stop being so anal about the car. Shit happens and we all get used to it.

 

Congrats on your TSX and welcome to AZ

 

 

Did you see the TSX in Honda Tuning? He's from Charlotte, as well.

 

sounds excessive, but not uncommon.

friend's have had about the same mileage on their tsx'es upon delivery too.

dealer trade - it's the only explaination i can come up with...

 

i agree...

 

Car looks great - I am also from Winson. Did you buy it here?

 

Yeah, at Flow. Small world, huh?

 

Well...
If they had Demo's, the customers should have been driving the Demo's only.
How was it that the car was sitting there and there was mileage on there? I hope they gave you some sort of break for that. Unless they had to drive way out to get it.

BTW... congrats on the purchase. Looks really sharp.
