Picked up a clean 2008 TSX 6mt

Picked up a clean 2008 TSX 6mt for my son a couple weeks back. He was learning how to drive stick on my CL, but that became a bit painful to watch. Found this one on FB Marketplace. Always garaged and original clear coat still intact. Joining the TLX ASpec and CL Type S. Ha, too bad I couldn't find a blue one. 134,000 miles, one owner. Only issue so far was the original A/C compressor went. Had all the fluids changed and new spark plugs with a tune up. Runs smooth! Is there anything else I should be watching out for?

$5500. A little more than I wanted to spend on his first car but beater Civic with more miles were going for $4000 around here. Harder to find manuals too. Thankfully the guy was trying to sell it for over 2 months so he came down $500.

Man, that thing is fly!

For $5500, what a steal! That would be $7K plus down here...

I'm digging your blue obsession.

Correct, no navi. Was even more rare to find manuals with Navi. . .

nice find with low miles! potential problems? maybe shaky car between like 55-65mph? AC compressors going out is common, so you already got that one. maybe a leaky PS pump, and torn up leather seats. i wouldn't complain too much on these TSXs, they are near bullet proof

LOL no way at that age/mileage, well unless the alignment is bad.
My 04@83K - Only thing that broke was the driver door lock actuator, everything under the hood is original. The alternator may need to be replaced soon, we'll see.

He *Kinda* stayed with it, considering how blue Nighthawk Black Pearl looks when cleaned/polished and out in the sun!!
