Thinking to get 04 TSX manual w/ 92K + Salvage title for $11K = too much ?

hi, i have been thinking to get 04 TSX (manual) that I saw in internet with 90K + Salvage (no idea about the salvage title yet) for $11K. is that too much ? im planning to keep this car for a looonngg time. My questions...

1. How far this car can run with the original engine ? I guess it depends on how well the maintenance is, but as general.....how high the mileage can go ?

2. If the engine need to be replaced someday, how much would it be and what kind of engine ?

thanks !!

Unless you have a lot of disposable income, best to stay away from a Salvage title on any car. And I say $11K for a 92K miles & Salvaged TSX is too much.

If an engine is well maintained, it can last a very long time. Personal experience, 250K.

I would stay away from a salvage title car. If you can go with 05 or newer cpo.
Good Luck,

I'm guessing it's this car? I'd steer clear.

If you're looking for a Honda 6-speed, there are better options out there in the lower price ranges...here's an example: Honda S2000, 58K miles, $14,500.

Good luck.

Stay away. Save up some more cash while you keep searching for a better deal used.

Nice find, I can't believe an S2000 has push start...I thought Honda/Acura just didn't like that technology or else we would have seen it on an acura first. Damn

Edit: Push start back in 2001 too. Damn x2
