Is there anything I should look for in this model? Recalls? Defects? Anything I should be concerned about and pinpoint in my questioning of the salesman?

Here is the actual car

Thanks

Have the bluetooth module replaced and have the rear bump stops fixed so that your tires don't wear out in 10000 miles. Thats about it. Both are free fixes with TSBs. Here they are.

The front seat cushions doesn't have a second row of stitchings which causes "butt prints". 2005-UP has that which doesn't stretch the leather as much.

Navi. You want it.

Parchment can look dingy over the long term.

IMHO.

That's too much money for that car. I bought the same car in June for that asking price. Mine came with Nav. and the A spec body kit. Also had trunk tray, wheel locks, and all season Acura floor mats. Granted the only thing that adds true value is the nav. I would say its a couple grand overpriced. Negotiate, good luck. My car had 31,000 miles on it also.

It's an auto, so make sure the tranny at least appears to be in good working order

if you end buying one with the a-spec body kit, make sure the kit wasn't terrible installed because the kit doesn't lay flush with the car, it takes a lot of TLC to get to sit right.

Make sure they didnt drill a hole in the front bumper to mount the front plate...and that the covers for the factory holes on the front bumper are supplied
