Considering a 2007 TSX

Hello everyone. New to this forum. I currently own a 03 accord coupe, and I am considering a 07 TSX available at a local dealership with only 21K miles for 19K.

I love my accord, but need a 4 door since a baby is on its way.

Is that considered a good deal? Anything I should know for that year model?

Thanks for your advice.

Used car values tend to be regional, and the TSX seems to be especially sensistive to this. Here in Mass for instance, I'd say that price would be around $2K to $3K high. My advice is to be cautious regarding comparisons from the US. Perhaps you could find one or more others for sale in PR and compare your deal to those.

+1 on used car values being extremely regional, even within a region. Prices in Nashville typically tend to be a few hundred or a thousand dollars on average more than similarly-equipped cars in metro Atlanta (especially on BMW and Mercedes-Benz; Atlanta's supplies just blow Nashville out of the water).

For what it's worth, I bought my 2007 in 2010 with 24,000 miles for $20k, so $19k isn't too far off, but maybe a little high.

Then again, there's the Puerto Rico factor- not sure what the local supply looks like for the TSX. (TSX cars were relatively rare in Nashville when I bought; mine was a local trade but most on the lots were from auctions up North or Florida).

All in all, not a horrible price, but not a great one either. I'd say try to knock off $1,000 or so. Is it certified pre owned, by chance?

That's a good price for my area with little more than 20k miles. I bought my '08 No nav, 54k miles from private seller for $15k in April, and that was a steal.

It is not certified pre-owned. However, the los milage seems suspicious to me.

As a demonstration of regionalism, I bought my 2007 with 21,000km on it last year for $21.5CDN which is a steal in my neck of the woods - most car of that vintage for me were going for $23-24k.

Here in PR, if I was going to buy that car in the US and then import it, I would have to pay more than 4k in taxes.

Any known issues from that year that I should be aware of? How much should I expect to get from it trouble free?
