Holy shit that is Mint!!
Congrats on your buy! Throw an AV6 trans and call it a day... That car will outlast the buyer if it was well maintained.

Wow what a great find. I'm almost inclined to say if you can put the AV6 in yourself, do that and sell it for 5-6-7K. You could make a lot of cash.

Yes carfax shows all maitance records. I think it's all highway miles cause car runs like a champ. Owner has seat covers on seats. Back seats and passenger seats look brand new.i plan on keeping car. I really like it

Wow nice find, I'd never believe it had over 300k miles on it. Don't see that color as much either. I was just reading about the AV6 auto swap for this car, hope it goes smoothly for you. Always loved those wheels.

That front end cover definitely saved the nose of the car from a lot of road rash and the seat cover definitely looks like it did its job in protecting the leather on the driver's seat during all those miles.

Cover was not installed found in trunk. It's brand new. Seat covers were off but pretty sure did protect the seats!
So I called local shops and found AV6 trans off a 2007 accord with 55k miles for $1,000 is that about how much there going for?

That's a pretty fair price for that kind of mileage.

AFAIK, the wood grain trim on the gauge cluster and the wood grain shift knob were dealer accessory items. The wood grain on the door panels and on the center console is from the factory.

Acura finally took a dump on me. Tranny is officially not driving.
H&A trans in Rancho Cucamonga might end up rebuilding trans that's in the car now. They have good warranty

Where in So Cal are you from???
Take it to Green Transmissions. They did mine in a day, as in I dropped it off in the morning and picked it up the same day, and the total was like $1,300 out the door with some other things replaced. They specialize in Acura/Honda transmissions.

If you want/need more info PM me. If you do decide to go, still PM me. They have a referral program :P
