There's a few '04 TSX's on the market in my area to my liking.

One has 12k miles going for $22.5k, non-navi
The other has 28k miles, has navi, also for $22.5k

Which would you pick?

Same color? Any mechanical issues with either? Body condition?
I'd say drive both and watch for anything to come up. Also, judge which buyer would be easier to deal with.
Pretty few miles for a Honda either way.

I haven't seen or driven either of them. I've only seen the online ads.
So lets assume all else is equal, other than navi and mileage.
Both happen to be black (a third one I'm also interested in is gray with similar miles, price, non-navi).

But the main point of my question, given the mileage and navi differences, which would you choose for the same price?

16,000 vs Navi is the question basically. The depreciation for for those extra 16,000 miles is probably less than the cost of Navi. But the bigger factors are 1) do you want navi? 2) if you keep the car for a long time, the 16k miles is equavlent to about 1 year's additional use so it's not that much. I'd personally get the Navi just because I bought my car for the navi. If you don't care, get the 12k mile one.

Navi definately if they are same price. Offer 21,500

I think your real question is Nav or no Nav. Get the car with Navi. With the TSX, there isnt much of a difference between 28K vs 12K miles on the 2.4 engine; its gonna last a long time regardless. The navi is absolutely worth it for me, so i say get the navi.

28K is nothing for this motor. As long as it went through the proper maintenance, go with the Navi!

Get the Navi! And where the hell do you live? I can't get a used TSX for under 23.5k!

Motohip

never mind....

But it's auto.

drigo

if they were both in identical condition...i would go for the navi...mileage is not that bad...besides...its a honda... i wish i got the navi

kyotousa

wow great deal
def. the Nav one 24miles...are you kidding hahaha

kyotousa

well 28k is alot for 1yr driving
you should check carfax on when did this guy purchase the car

2003 or 2004...

psteng19

Wow, that's an incredible deal if you don't mind auto.
Personally I'm looking for the 6 speed.

psteng19

Well, at least you can be pretty sure it's mostly highway.

kyotousa

^^ if you don't really care go for the Nav for sure..haha

or maybe you don't like nav or something ??

MrChad

I say get the Navi and if they won't deal, then jump the other model :P

psteng19

Yup, that's exactly the question.
The only thing of value in that 16k is it's 16k closer to warranty expiration, which could potentially (but unlikely) be big bucks if something were to go wrong soon after.

The K24 motor uses a timing chain, correct?

mg7726

then get the extended warranty if you're going to keep it past the 4yr/48k or get the non-navi

yes - it's a chain.

psteng19

Extended warranties exist on a used car private party sales?

Sorry if I didn't mention private party earlier.

As long as you're still within the original factory warranty period. You can actually purchase an extended warranty from any Acura dealer. Don't do it locally at an Acura dealer because you will have to pay $$$.
There's an Acura dealer here that people recommend that only charged $1100 i believe. I can't remember the Acura dealer off the top of my head.
Maybe someone can chime in for me.

thanks

iamhomin

Go with the non-navi, unless you're willing to buy the extended warranty. (Plus, you can always use the raw, paper map )
