I bought it this morning.
the WDP had too much maintenance issues and I felt like the trans was gonna go at any point and it developed a real bad oil leak. Had 144k on the clock. No bueno. Plus suspension was shot so i Sold it last week and hit up my salesman to see what he had in his lot.
@Osk the interior looks just like the pictures. Definitely mint af

@ truonghthe....yes bro another. This one is an absolute gem.
@ epleeds $12998 (list for $14998). - what i can say to this ASM 08Type-S and the one I had before is you get what you pay for and where you pay for it. I tried to save on purchase price with the WDP 07 with 140k miles $8300). It was a clean vehicle interior and exterior. The only problem is you have to spend time with a vehicle to see how great or badly someone may have treated their car. In the case of the WDP it was not properly maintained. It wasn't beat up, it just wasn't mechanically maintained properly and as a result displayed a myriad of symptoms to MAJOR problems I wasn't going to deal with. The Alternator died 2 months ago (i replaced myself with used OEM for $52) and I decided to sell. Car sounded like a Mac truck on cold starts afterwards. It was fine when warm. So I sold it for $7800 only 5 months later with 144k miles. Like I said it sold in 30 days because it was a clean vehicle being sold at a great price but it would have end up costing me $$$ in the long run because of mechanical negligence.
@champaned the car looks, sounds and drives like new. The components under the hood look in like new condition. Suspension is quiet and stiff. No clunking what so ever. It was a Georgia vehicle bought and serviced at Acura dealer for 10 years. Windshield has Acura Preferred Customer Sticker on it. lol. New fluid changes, New Battery, Brand spanking new tires and much more (even has coin tray).
I'll post pics in the photo section

Wow!! Nice and clean. Mine also came from a GA couple trading it in on a MDX. Had about 35K on it at the time. Has 108K now. It's been a gem except the dash cracking.
