Hello,

I am looking to buy an 2007 Acura Type-S with 91000k. What are everybody's thoughts on the high mileage. I know its a HONDA/ACURA and they last forever. Just concerned about the high mileage and if it's worth it. Let me know please and thank you

 

91,000 miles isn't bad at all for that car. Just get the water pump, timing belt, and all the rest of the 105k service and your good to go. Does previous owner have service records?

 

with a general post like that, you'll get a general answer.
that's not even HIGH mileage, she's just beginning life.
and it all depends on previous owners, if they treated the car well.
if they didnt, you will have a crappy car.
buying used cars are a case by case basis...

 

its not even close to 65k miles yet, you have nothing to worry about.

 

Go for it, just got a 08 Type-s with 92K and the car purrs like a kitten! Mine was well taken care of and is flawless. I could not be happier and I have had it a month now.

"its not even close to 65k miles yet, you have nothing to worry about."


I dont know what this means but yeah!

 

I personally would look for one with less miles, but if your budget limits you to high mileage, then as long as it was taken care of then why not? Like Justnspace said, you gave us no details on the car whatsoever so there isn't a lot we can do here except tell you that any Honda vehicle that was cared for at that mileage should have a lot of life left.
105k service isn't due for another 14,000 miles so I wouldn't worry about that yet at this point.
Always look at carfax and see if any accidents have been reported. Minimal owners is usually always a plus. Check all the body panels for VIN labels, paint and clear coat texture to see if anything has been resprayed.

Goodluck dude.

 

91k is typical for a car of its age. I got the same year, but at 175k miles. It's been almost a year and haven't had a single issue. Just make sure that it was taken care of so that you don't get any surprises.

 

Yeah I guess your technically right geez it's 2014 already. Actually, that vehicle is below average mileage now that I think about it.

 

Yup. It's 7 years old, with a 10 year old design, and yet it could still pass for a new car.

A lot of the Type-S listings I see are in the 100K mileage range now.

 

Yeah true. Mine actually has a 2006 in service date. She's gettin old :-)

 

Don't "look" too long. Someone else might grab it.

 

I agree that 91K isn't high milage for this car however this car does have some known issues that have to be fixed at the owners expense. The bluetooth device quits working and it becomes a parasitic draw on the battery. The battery in my car has been replaced three times. Acura knows about the issue but won't pay for it to be fixed. To replace the bluetooth unit its $450 or you can disconnect it. Apparently its easy to do and I shall find out soon as I'm going that route. Another well documented issues is that the fuel cap needs to be tightened message appears in error. Again this is a well documented issue and even has an Acura TSB for it. The fix is to replace the purge control valve selenoid; roughly $300. Lastly but most important, the 3rd gen TL has an issue were the spark plugs work them selve loose over time. This is well documented on these forum and just happened to me. Luckily, none of the threads were ruined when the plug ejected. This was the first time to my knowledge anyone has touched the plugs so I highly doubt it was due to prior poor workmanship.

 

I bought mine TLS with 91k miles didn't regret it
