I've given this alot of thought and I decided to offer up my beloved TSX up for sale. At this point, I rarely drive it (put 3k miles on it in the past 15 months) so I'd like to move to another car with higher performance potential. Coincidentally, I found the car I'm looking for and I can't justify owning 3 cars (I have a VW Tiguan for the winter).

The price of this car is $22,000 obo (no trades). I am willing to accept reasonable offers, but low ballers will not receive a response. The car is fully paid off (title in hand) and in immaculate condition. I don't even drive it in the rain, let alone snow. Including the price of the car, I have invested over $70k into it so I'm looking to get around 1/3 of that back.
Additionally, I have two sets of wheels that I use with this car but only one of them will be included at this price. However, the buyer can choose either set.
To confirm, I will not be parting this car out. I put too much time and effort into it to see it dismantled and put back to stock. I want to sell it to someone who will appreciate as much as I have these past 6 years.
You can either PM me or e-mail me at dayta02@yahoo.com
Thanks for looking!

This is BY FAR the cleanest 1G TSX I've ever seen. Props to you and good luck with the sale :thumbusp:

Considering the car stock can fetch at least $15-16k (given its relatively low miles), I think it's not outrageous to ask for an additional $9-10k for the parts and work I've put in. My dyno graph is identical in both output (to the wheels) and power under the curve to an E92 M3 (350whp/267wtq). There isn't one part of the car that hasn't been upgraded, which is actually why I'm moving on. Looking for my next money pit .

wow, man, that is the cleanest modded tsx i have seen.
and yes you are correct about not finding a modded tsx out there fully but there is some that are modded with super charger going fro $12k-16 but does have a lot more miles then you but again, when modding you never get what you paid, unless you part it out.
well i want to wish you the best, i would love to take this car but by even selling mine, i wouldnt be able to come up with that money.

Appreciate the comments, guys.
Thanks for the kind words. I know there have been a few other S/Ced TSXs going in that range, but as you said my car is as complete as can be. The stereo components and work alone cost me $8-9k about a year ago...
To that point, if anyone was really interested in the car I could put the stock stereo back in and drop the price a few $k. Let me know, people.

Thanks for the kind words, guys. I've loved owning this car, but I think it's time to move on.
Hey bro, good to see you still around these parts
Guys, I just bought a house so I'm a little strapped for cash. Willing to take reasonable offers...

The price caught me off guard a bit. I'm not sure there's a dealer that could sell a stock/cpo version of that car with that mileage for $22k. Then I scrolled down to the pics, and this thing is very tastefully done with care and quality. I still think the price is too high given the age and amount of modifications. That said, you've done a fine job with it. Good luck!

Additionally, the parts I have used are either of the highest quality or custom-made specifically for my car. For example, you will not find another TSX with my header-back exhaust system, my aftercooler set up, or the stereo set up in my trunk.
I have spent over $40k in mods on the car, and considering the trade-in value is still at $15-16k I don't think an extra $6k is too much to ask for the amount of additional time and money I've put into the car.

Pic of the MS-8 controller installed into the dash. Color combo matches the silver trim almost perfectly.
The red "missile" switch activates the water pump for the heat exchanger of the aftercooler. I just thought it looked cool .
Pic of the center stack and AEM gauges built into the "Not An Ashtray" cubby.
You can also get a better view of the LED strips installed in the foot wells.
Aside from that, the interior is pretty much bone stock because I wanted to keep the OEM look.
There is very little wear on the seats. Because it's always been my weekend car, I can count the times I've had passengers in the car on one hand .

Got your message and responded but for some reason it's not showing my response. Anyway, I have a paralyzed arm and unfortunately can't drive stick so sadly this beauty right here isn't an option for me! GLWS!
