Damn, you got a solid deal. There's no way it would sell for that much. How many miles did you have?

So what happens if you told them you aren't happy with that offer?

Too many Accords everywhere you go. I personally wouldn't really care about the new vs used debate. I'd go with the better car most of the time. That seems like a lot of downgrades. Does the Sport have leather?

 

damn that's unfortunate..

I found the fully optioned Accord Sport has a whole slew of attractive features no? I guess it gets too expensive when you add them all up.

 

My parents just bought a new loaded Accord. I'll report back with how it compares to the tsx during Thanksgiving break when I get to test it out.

 

Yeah I should take my supercharger off and total my car. I would come out with like $20k in pocket hahaha

 

the new accord is nice but it's a really boring drive.
I don't get the accord sport though, it has no features (and a cvt). Nothing sporty about it.


There was 75k on it. Their offer was $500 more than the most expensive one i found for sale within 100 miles.

also submitted them the recipts for sway bar and bumper so they might even add some more to it.

 

How were those powerstop brakes you had, compared to the OEMs? And yeah you should definitely try to bitch at them to compensate you for it, you have nothing to lose. Especially since you just added the rear bumper.

 

They were much much better than the OEM. Looked cool too. Oh and no warping

hmm i shoulda submitted the receipts for those too.

 

It has leather surrounds and cloth center portions. Pops is one of those buy new and keep it forever kinda guys. The new "loaded" Accord is the Touring model and it's msrp is 35k. It's got mostly the same features as the tsx + everything that comes on the sport package (which is just 19s and side skirts as far as I can tell.)

You have to get the next model up for more features. There's the LX, Sport EX, EX-L, then Touring.

 

I thought Accord6 Sport offers 6MT, no?

 

6MT or AutoTragiCVT.

I drove one w/ the CVT when I was shopping for cars (they didn't have the MT on the front of lot yet and I just wanted to get a feel for the chassis/engine).

It made me floppy for weeks afterwords with how terrible it was. And I couldn't take enough showers and I couldn't get the water hot enough to wash off how icky I felt from the CVT.

Just bad.

 

Yeah I was pretty sure they offered both. 6MT or nothing with the Accord Sport IMO.

 

Hey guys I'm at 97k.....and climbing. Anyone have a list of service that needs to be completed @ 100k? Looking at buying everything now so I can start looking for a reasonably priced Tech....

 

I think the CVT is standard and the 6mt costs extra. Also, NO option for sunroof on accord sport. wut.

 

CVT is +$800.

And I don't think leather is available on the Sport either.

But you get like 4 extra hp and dual tips... so that's something.

 

Check the maintenance manual if you have one in the glove box. I write all my services down in there and it usually guides you along with the mileage.

Off the top of my head, I would do all fluids and filters, check suspension and bushings, spark plugs, valve adjustment if there's chatter, drive belt if its never been changed out, grease all hinges and sunroof tracks, inspect/inflate spare tire. All the usual wearables and consumables.

 

Thank you, sir! What about the timing chain tensioner & water pump etc?

 

Timing chain and tensioner are under covers. Going to be a lot of work just to inspect them. You measure the slack in the chain to see if it's out of tolerance. They shouldn't be going bad at 97k under normal usage tho.

Water pump has no tell tale sign to indicate it's almost done for. Just goes when it pleases. I wouldn't change it as a preventative measure tho. They are pretty stout. If anything, the pulley goes out.

100k is still pretty low on these motors if good preventative maintenance was done over it's previous life.

Try googling to see what the 1st gen or accords are doing at 100k. We have similar motors.

 

any of you guys look at the apple play from nav tool? i wanna see it in action before i commit. it could be an early xmas gift for me

 

I want an android auto option, but don't need it. Kind of an expensive toy add on that I'd use for a week.

 

I don't see how it's much different than just having your phone attached somewhere to your dashboard. I'm still having to reach out in front of me to click buttons, the only difference is that these are a little easier to read. I don't know about apple but android has car apps that have big buttons to make navigation a little easier.


But I guess it looks cooler than just having your phone up there................?

 

supposed to be a different interface i believe than just the phone home screen. otherwise their other product for mirroring would be just that.

until i see it in action i will chilllllllll

 

It's a different UI which is supposed to be much easier to use while driving. Like a split screen thing too so you can like change a song while also keeping the GPS up or whatever.

 

Starting to get some gremlins in the TSX. On Monday, started the car and the ABS, VSA, and TCS lights were on. I restarted the car and the lights went away.

Today, the car is acting like it having a hard time starting. It will crank once, pause, and then crank to start. [I have the "one touch" start feature.]

 

maybe we can actually get album art

 

how old is your battery?

 

Black Friday deals seem pretty weak this year..or maybe it's because I don't need anything.

 

So they saw this

and thought the car had backup camera option, credited $250

also credited $500 for "memory seat upgrade"
memory seats are standard on a TSX.

Fucking. Lol.

 

Sounds like you need to point out all the standard features and see if they'll pay for them.

 

"Wait? You guys didn't credit me for the Plastidip? That's like a $800 paint job, bro!"

 

What insurance company do you have?

 

almost 5yo

 

 

^I assumed as such but I'm cheap. My Kia's OEM battery lasted 10 years!

 

Guess my professor is Honda 4 lyfe.

 

somebody need this for a grille. the freaking A is more than I am asking and you have the proper piece/

Test drove the RC 350 F-sport and RC-F earlier today. Both are great cars. The 350-F didn't really seem any more peppier than my v6 tsx though. The dash area and cluster are beautiful. The RC-F was a beast, when it got to the higher RPMs it roared.

Still happy with my tsx these days.

 

Drove our new S5 home last night and OMG it's fucking amazing. Dat exhaust note. And it makes that crackle when it upshifts.

 

Parting out my car If anyone is local:

• Megan Street Series with about 10k never seen snow
• Modulo/Sport front bumper in CBP willing to swap for a stock CBP bumper + cash
• Clear corner headlights that I bought off rob that i'll do a straight swap for OEM
• OEM Decklid spoiler I was going to sell with the car but will take off if anyone's interested CBP
• Used OEM window visors with all brand new clips

aaaaaaaaand can't think of anything else right now.

 

You getting out too?

What's the deal?

 

Anyone know if there is a website that sells recut red vinyl for the "pink" part of the tail lights (for 2011+ TSX)? I want to "red" out the corner lol still don't understand why they decided to not keep the tail lights white like the 2009-2010s.

I tried to DIY with a large piece of red vinyl but failed miserably haha
