theres an 04 wdp w/nav that is for sale at $11,500. crazy thing it only has 75,000 miles. kbb says price should be around $14k

dont know if it's possible for the tl's but theres obvoiusly been cases where sellers do things to make the mileage lower than it actually is..

what are you opinions and is it possible for the tl?

 

If it's too good to be true..

 

how come the cars you been looking at always end up fishy?

 

Simply asked for maintenance documents to cross-reference mileage with repairs and service. Focus on tire replacements and when they occurred.

I have a 2006 TL with 45,000 miles so having a 2004 TL with 75,000 miles is not unreasonable.

 

i haven't really been looking at it.. just came across it and was wondering if it's possible for people to fake the mileage.

 

swapping out the cluster is possible. Carfax and service documents should be able to confirm.

i have an 04 with 68k.

 

If it's a second car that gets seldom used then 75K miles for an 8 year old car is not out of the question. Heck, I sold my 11 year old Jeep Wrangler with only 25K miles. It just didn't see many miles after the first 3 years or so. Just became a vehicle I drove only when the weather was nice - top down (70 degrees + yet below 90 degrees) or when the weather was crap (snow, etc.). That weather only occurs a few months out of the year hear in NC.

 

Yes it can be crazy having low milage but that milage isn't even too unreasonable. It is possible but just because it is lower then you expect doesn't mean they changed it. Just do your research. If carfax has info about maintenance done and the milage matches believe it (to an extent.) If no carfax maintenance is being reported dont pass it as being modified as they could have done the maintenance themselves like a lot of people but would make me more curious.

 

Its not how much mileage the car has that caused me to wonder. Its that the price is pretty low for a navigation wdp.

 

Yes it is very possible and simple to fake mileage so get the car checked out and vase ur decision on condition more than mileage just my. 02

 

It's possible, but it would be more trouble than it's worth.(to most people at least) I wouldn't think anything of it because the mileage isn't that crazy. If it had 2 miles then I would say somethings up. lol My guess would be there is something wrong with the car that the dealer isn't putting out there. (mechanically or cosmetically)

If you are really interested in it I would say go look at it, but get it checked out by a mechanic and have them look over it thoroughly. But chances are at that point he would just end up telling you. Like the other guy said, if it's too good to be true, it probably is. Dealers rarely sell under Blue Book unless there is something to make it worth less.

 

Maybe salvage title, or the car has been beaten to death.
Take a look and we'll know.
Our '04, 74k miles, but the '08 knock around car 104k.

 

even tho I have all the service done by acura/honda dealers only the service done by the acura dealer in Reno and the power steering recall shows up on carfax. The dealers I use in Pa and NC to not share information with carfax. I do have all the service records. I suggest you ask for them.

 

My 05 tl just hit 60k and averages now about 6.5k a yr max.

Ill be at 75k at the end of 2014.....

 

i have a 04 with 83k

 

05 here with 564XX...immaculate condition...6MT...NO, i'm not selling.

 

If the gauge cluster anything like the mazda's. It should be connected to the computer brain, and there for if you were to swap it you would need dealer to reprogram your miles. I would think it should be harder now , and not like it was back in the day with the integras lol..

 

jeez I bought mine last year with less miles than yours and in about a year i have 12k more -_-

...what I do for work

 

142k on my 05

vette guys are the same way.. they actually have contests to see who can drive the least amount of miles in a year. This is crazy to me. I find reasons to take my cars out for a leisure drive and on vacations/roadtrips! Drive your cars, people!

 

i bought mine brand new...by next month i will have only put 4500 miles on her in one yr. part time daily now since the MDX joined the family (downtime at the body shop didn't help accumulate miles on the car earlier this year).

OP-even if i was selling i certainly wouldn't low ball the price...i'd be asking over the KBB price!! and its not only b/c of the miles.

 

Same with us. My GN has around 300,000 miles since I've owned it since '94 and I was a teenager and drove it everywhere. My father's '84 GN has about 18,000 on it and we bought them around the same time.

 

If it makes you feel any better, I have an 06 with 76k. I do around 25k/year commuing from LA to Tustin.

 

totally agree-One of my friends owns 3 vettes-62, 68 and a 04. He does drive the 04 but the older ones for shows, parades, etc.
I love driving my tsx. It is a car-it is meant to be driven.

 

ouch, man I know how you feel. one of the reasons why I left my old job was of the high mileage I was doing. I was doing almost 3k a month as a field tech for the city of SD, on top of a commute from Oceanside to downtown SD almost 5 days a week.

But at the same time, I enjoy the time and mileage spent in my car, as long as i'm in it either as a passenger or driver. It was not destined to be a garage queen

/sorry for OT. Just empathizing.

 

I have an 04 with 61,000 on it so yes its possible i dont drive much . there are a few of them with honest mileage on them .. good luck to you
