I have a 2009 TSX with 139,000 Miles on it. There have been no significant issues with it and it works just fine. How long do these cars typically? My concern is that I don’t want to drive into the ground and then not be able to sell it for very much money. In other words, should I quit while I’m ahead and sell now?

 

139K miles isn't very much for most modern cars. Especially Hondas.

Actually you are better off finicially to "drive it into the ground" Otherwise consider how much maintance costs vs payments.

 

332,445 miles

 

 

it has already depreciated to $7-11k.
you have an awesome car that is worth $7k-11k.

hate to break it to you; $7k would be a down payment for a vehicle that you're likely to finance for around $30k.
How in the world is that making money or breaking even?
Hint; it's not.
you are better off driving that vehicle to the ground 200 million miles later.

 

I sold my 09 TSX last month with 181k miles on it for 6500, and it was still running great when I sold it. I can see 250k miles easily as long as you keep up with the oil changes..

 

2010 with a 135K on it and it's riding great with no major issues (just got hit and got the paint fixed). But I do plan on possibly getting a new car next Spring. While my car was in the shop I had a 2017 Mustang convertible that had 20K on it. I hated how small it was and it didn't ride particularly great, but I loved all the new tech features (Apple Car play being the best). It really has me itching for a new set of wheels. I already have a buyer for my car as he wants it for his daughter. So at least I know it will be taken care of. I would think you should be able to get 200K minimum on it. This car is built very well.

 

I'm still surprised to see that the manual versions of the CU2 is normal to have a clutch replaced at ~100K. More so, how difficult it is to have it replaced. I dread the day that I have to bring it into the dealer for a clutch problem. I wouldn't be surprised if it is ~$2,500+ to have the clutch replaced at the dealer.

 

^don't go to the dealer?
i had an indie mechanic replace my clutch for around $400..bought the OEM LUK kit for $250-300. all said and done; about $750 to change the clutch. Not too shabby

 

On a 2nd gen TSX? The entire subframe needs to be dropped. What a deal on labor, I paid about that to have the radiator replaced on a stupid turbo Subaru.

 

there are MANY ways to skin a cat. the subframe DOES not have to be dropped.

 

Thank you so much for your responses. I just purchased a brand new Alfa Romeo Giulia fully loaded. I plan to hold onto my TSX for a few months and then sell it private party later. I researched and I think I can get around $8500 in it’s condition. Thanks again.

 

Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the twin turbski v6???????????????????????

or just the base model?

throw up pics!!!! did you get it in Alfa Romeo red!?

 

Yea that Alfa is nice, but by all indications, it's not going to be very reliable. You may want to hold onto the TSX just in case

 

is it manual it better be manual

 

 

I wish. They don’t come in manual state-side.

 

wow! absolutely stunning!!!
I sneak a look EVERY time I pass by one

 

Very nice looking car. You can admire it every time you drive by it in the dealer's service bay while driving your TSX.

OTOH, maybe they've fixed some of the issues and you'll actually make it to the first oil change before bits fall off.

 

Mike Like !! Reliable or no, gotta be fun to drive ! We were in Italy a couple years ago, and the Alfa Romeos were Bella Bella....

Enjoy the ride......
