im looking at an blue 04 tsx (auto) with 99k. last week he wanted 8500 than he just drop it to 7600 this week. kinda fishy. title is clean. he even gave me the vin i didnt get a chance to run it yet. he told me that he owe 7g to the bank and he wanted to do for a quick sale. ima go see it later, what should i look for? and is it true that the 04 auto tranny suck big time or gonna be mess up at 100k + and problem with the 04 please let me know.

 

I don't have an Auto, I have a manual. Make sure the air conditioning works, make sure it drives straight and what not. I know my 04 had some rear camber problems, and one caster issues due to an accident. That is a good price, and normally that would be suspicious, but there are so many people these days that are just trying to hold onto their house they are willing to negotiate.

 

that seems like a good price. def check the AC and see if he has service records or find where he got the work done maybe you can call the dealer,if its a dealer, and verify the work done. i believe the TSX autos are pretty decent and ALOT better that the TL trannies.

 

Do it. I bought almost the exact same car a year ago, and I really love it. Just check the carfax first, and have a mechanic look it over for any significant problems. That is really a great price too.

 

Also, the transmission is solid. I haven't had any problems with it at all. I never use the manual mode, even though I thought that I would be using it all the time when I originally bought the car.

 

I have an '04 AT - only ~48k miles tho - and have zero issues to date with anything. Just replaced the brake pads for the first time (lots of city driving). The '04 transmission is not the same as that of the TL to the best of my knowledge.
