Thinking of getting first TSX...is this a good deal?

If I can get them below 15K I think I would be all over it. Also are the high miles much of a concern on this particular vehicle? I have a 00 TL right now, and want to get something a bit newer and easier on the gas mileage. Most of the miles were highway, but I still need to do a carfax check.
Thanks

Not a bad deal at all.. I originally looked at a 2004 TSX w/Navi as well for $21k. That was because it had only 17,000 miles on the car, which was amazing for a 3 yr old car. 90k miles seem high to me, which is why the car is so cheap. If you don't mind that, then go for it. Aim for $500-$1,000 below KBB for a car with high milage bc usually the owner will have a hard time selling it.

I'd say thats a pretty good buy, I would just do a carfax on it to make sure everything is ok. As far as the car I wouldn't worry too much on it since I haven't heard any problems with the engine or tranny.

I tried to get him under 15K and here is what he said...
I have the car now as he gave me 24 hours to get it checked out and drive it around for a while. I have noticed that the breaks shake a bit, maybe need to get the rotors changed...a couple small chips on the paint, and a small chip on the windshield. Inside it is immaculate, but the 96K miles still scares me a bit for a car that year. I tend to get new cars on a 2 year basis sometimes less as I like change, so I might look into leasing, but I don't really want to pay a giant down payment first.
We don’t place huge mark-ups on the vehicles we place on Autotrader and Cars.com like other dealers. We try to move by volume by passing savings on to the public. I can get you a Carfax. I believe the vehicle is a one-owner with a no-accident history but I will confirm it for you. The absolute bottom I can go on this vehicle is $15,500 plus tax and $98.75 doc fee which is only about $1000 over Kelley trade-in value and $1000 less than Kelley third-party sale price.
