This is a car I will probibly buy but I am curious about the last transaction when you click to look at the carfax report. It says it is for sale as an Acura Certified Car on 1/7/07, but now I am about to purchase it from a wholesaler.

Is there any reason that a car would go from being Acura Certified to wholesale'd in under a month?

Finally yall being the experts, is 13,800 a decent price for an 02 Type-S with 53000 miles?

Thanks!

I'd be more concerned about the 2005 mention of possible water damage...

 

Agreed, that is what made me question the Certified -> Wholesale switch.

I am going to have my friend check it out tommorow (hopefully) for any signs of water. I just figured that most dealers would keep the car on the lot for at least 60 days before sending it off.

 

My wife and I decided that we weren't going to buy a used car from anywhere around here (Houston) becuase a lot of my dad's former friends that own used car lots have heard of a lot of folks selling former hurricane cars in Houston at the local auctions or to private parties just as-is.

Good luck either way. It's a nice looking car.

By the way-is it safe to presume you're an SFA grad/student? We're both recent grads (Dec. 05)

My Wife as well.

 

If the car sits on the lot for a long time and they cannot sell it, a dealer will wholesale it.
