Considering buying a TSX Wagon w/ 110K miles
I'm looking at a 2011 TSX Sport Wagon with 110K miles. Being sold by a Acura dealer. Price seems fair. 1 owner and apparently well maintained. Anything I should look for? Any major service items I should ask about being done? Any input feedback is welcomed. Thanks in advance

Check and make sure the major 100k service has been done (overhaul on all fluids, filter, and plugs). I'd at least ask for a tranny drain and fill if that's not on the list.
Pay attention to suspension, ball joints, wheel bearings and any other wear item you can think of. Shouldn't be too much stuff wrong with a 5 yr old car, but it was driven a bit more than the insurance standard (15k miles/yr). Being that it's at an Acura dealer, poke/prod your way to getting a free inspection report.

If it's a V6 model, make sure the timing belt/water pump/tensioners have been replaced. Otherwise, pretty much the fluids, brake pads/rotors, tires. Also check out the sound system to make sure none of the speakers are shot or excessive rattling. Doesn't cost much for the dealership to redo, but as a retail customer, it cost me a total of ~$600 to replace 3 speakers and redo the insulation. (Test the speakers with high treble songs and high bass songs and listen to each speaker for static/muffled sound and rattles - Adele's When We Were Young and Young Dolph's Pulled Up are two songs I use to troubleshoot since they seem to hit the extremes on both sides of the spectrum)

But in general, good points.
