So I am seventeen years old and never had a car. I was browsing for an Acura and stumbled across a 2004 Manual Transmission TSX. It has 190,000 miles on it and my uncle said it looked well maintained on the CarFax. Is it a go or miss? Thanks guys!

The only issue I would have with the TSX is the very high mileage and normal wear/tear items cost for repair like:
- A/C unit
- power steering
- clutch
- radio/Navi system
- HIDs
- suspension parts
- fuel injectors/water pump/master brake cylinder/alternator

Maybe if this was a second car or winter beater. Some of those repair items can can easily reach into the high hundreds or low thousands. The TSX is a very cheap car to operate IF everything is working correctly. It can cost some $$$ if you have minor nagging issues compared to a Accord/Civic coupe of the same age. Anything with +190,000 miles is my personal limit for a keeping a vehicle and I'm the one that put that many miles on her.
