Looking at a 2005 TSX

Looked at a Acura TSX last night. It has 139k miles on it. Original owner.. black and black in color with Navi. He was asking for about $1000-$1500 less than KBB price.

I had several things that are wrong to it that concerned me..

1) VSA and /!\ light were on. Owner said that it has been happening for a while now and doesn't do anything.

2) A few dents and paint chip around the car.

3) CD player not working

4) Interior overhead light not working

5) Armrest was missing the leather on top.

I got down the VIN# and i'll do a carfax now. I didn't hear any funny sounds or knocking . Seems to accerate fine.

My concerns is the #1 and #3 concerns that I listed about .. is that anything to worry about?

Did you turn on and off the VSA button to make sure it was not that? The button is on the left side of the steering wheel, next to the sunroof button.

Yes I remember pressing the button but it didn't turn the light off on the gauge cluster.
