My 2006 Acura TSX

2006 Acura TSX, only 38k miles on it.
Came with a backup camera that's hooked up to the dash where the navigation is at.
Has clearbra around the car.
Also came with a extra set of snow tires+rims.

How much do you guys think i paid for it? Also, what do you guys think of the car?

cant, because....the market wildly ranges..

you could have gotten the car for as less as 3k to as much as 10k.


so that's my guess. some where in the middle of 3k and 10k.

Congrats on the new ride! You have a rare find with such low mileage. I have +115,000 miles on my TSX and it has been routine M.I.D. maint, tires, brakes, wipers, update Navi disk every 3rd year, and TSB replacing power steering hose. The 06-08 TSX is pretty rock solid vehicle.

If you are going to do any OEM mods, now is the time to look before they disappear (A-spec body kit, metal trim kit, OEM cargo mat, etc..). I had to replace the front a-spec bumper on my 06 because of a recent accident caused by my son last spring. There wasn't a lot of kits out there and some were discontinued. If you are looking for a cargo net, go for the Nissan 350Z net because it fits perfectly with the existing 4 hooks in the trunk (OEM cargo net kinda sucks).

That is very low miles for such an old car. Who was the original owner, and why didn't they drive their car?

As a point of reference, I bought my 2006 Nav 6-speed with 36,000 miles in 2010 for $17k.

Your car looks very clean. Mine had a few small scratches in the paint when I bought it.

Very nice looking car. I'm sure it will go many trouble free miles.

I bought mine at Dick Hannah in Portland despite my personal rule of not buying from the stealership. It was just very difficult to locate a 2006 6-speed, so I made an offer, and 2 weeks later they accepted. Who knows how long the car had sat on the lot before I made the offer, but my guess is they had a hard time selling the manual gearbox in the Portland market.

Yesterday I replaced the rear brakes, rotors, and calipers at 96,000 miles. I'm guessing all parts were original since I took ownership at 36,000 miles. The left rear brake had seized once, and my theory is that water had worked into the parking brake cable and froze. Not wanting to take any chances that the caliper itself was seizing, I decided to replace them at the same time as the pads and rotors.

$110 for both calipers
$36 for both rotors
$15 for both ceramic pads

It should last me the rest of the life of the car. I don't go through brakes very quickly because I try not to use them.

Besides the brakes, the only thing I've spent money on is gas and yearly oil changes. I just knock the dust out of the air filter and put it back in. Oh, I did break the piston in the glove box while looking at the cabin air filter. It's the thing that lets the door open slowly rather than clunking open. The replacement part was like $5.

Nice car. My beat up 04 with 165k on it is probably only worth 7-8 if I tried.
I think 14k is likely too much, perhaps 12k makes more sense for a car like that. Either way, tough find, good car, welcome!
