Hello Acura guys/gals,
I finally rolled the big 400k this last week. I know this is the TL section but wanted to share this milestone in my 2005 TSX with you. I took my TSX into the dealer to have them give it a thorough once over to see how she's been holding up. They came back with a laundry list of stuff. I have everything up on my blog for anyone who cares to check it out when you have the time. Let me know what you think.

Josh - too bad this post got moved, but I guess it was considered too off-topic. I checked out your blog and wanted to let you know how much I am enjoying it. The tourist bureau of Idaho should be putting you on their payroll.

Clymerdude

Haha, I might just look into that! glad you're enjoying it. & thanks!

Thats quite a mission and well done blog.

I'd be curious for you to total up ALL of your maintenance over the 400k miles and compare it to the cost of getting a new car.

Oh...my one BIG complaint...SPOILER ALERT....Im not caught up on Game of Thrones and you fucking ruined a major plot point...thanks for that.

Congrats and that's a great blog, lotta nice places to visit out there!

I was gonna suggest you meet up with the 500K Legend owner but I see you already did that. Nice he also included your 400K posting on his siter as well.

haha sorry about that sarlacc! but come on, everybody hated that douche except his mommy. it was just a matter of time before some one off'd him. but at least you still can ponder who did it sorry about that...

and you're not the first one to wonder about the total cost of maintenance to date. sometime soon i'll have to go thru it all and figure it out and post the results. but remember, you still have to maintain a new car too.

Tyson is the man! I just finished this last post for my blog last night at about midnight & Tyson texted me this morning @ 7:24am to say congrats and had already posted about my car on his site before he left for his road trip this weekend. The guy is an animal!

& thanks!

Congrats, but did you really have to post this in every single forum?

Clymerdude

maybe not. was just stoked about hitting this milestone & wanted to share with everyone and didnt know how else to do it. I'm still kinda new to the forums and didnt know how else to get it out there for everyone to see it.

If you didn't post this in Car Talk, I never would have seen this since I rarely wander into the TSX forum

Congrats! You should be realy proud =] I look forward to the day my TL reaches that. I'm only at 103K right now.

I think it's generally more cost effective to keep the old car, to a certain reasonable extent.

Running some rough hypothetical but probable numbers, say a new TSX is $35k and he would get $10k trading in his old TSX with 200,000 miles. With those numbers he'd be paying $25k for this brand new TSX.

Outside of routine maintenance, did unexpected repairs for his old TSX from 200,000-400,000 miles exceed $25k? If so, then he'd have saved money to get a new car. If not, then it was more cost effective to keep the TSX.

Congrats on taking your ride that far. And welcome to this corner of A-zine, also known as Subie-zine, Audi-zine, and assorted names I can't recall.

nice congrats any ever heard of million mile joe with the 90-93 accord hit a million miles and started over

Acurafan86

It is interesting to see a relatively new Acura reach that mileage and what it requires maintenance wise. Great blog.

Clymerdude

Thanks again everybody!
