I am on a look out for a type s . Crack free dash and accident free is a must . I would also prefer a car with a detailed maintainance record . I am in NYC , so I would prefer cars around the tri-srate area ! Thank you

Are you looking for an Automatic or 6-Speed Manual version? What's your budget?

Dhundup04 06-06-2019 04:48 PM

I would prefer an auto since I am in NYC . Always traffic around here .

horseshoez 06-06-2019 05:05 PM

And your budget?

You're a scholar and a gentleman...


I would have told him to search wwww.autotempest.com

As it's his search, not yours lol

Dhundup04 06-06-2019 06:44 PM

around 7 to 8 k range

Acura TL Builder 06-06-2019 07:29 PM

8-10k is a decent range for a Type-S Auto.

Since you’re in the salt states, you may find one for 7-8k. But not with detailed maintenance and accident free..

Maybe with an uncracked dash though.

Dhundup04 06-06-2019 08:06 PM

Thanks bro . The guy selling the 200k plus mile type s( asking if he was asking too much ) doesn't reply anymore lol. So o am back on the hunt

I had an AZ member screw me over when I was looking for a 6MT Type-S last November.

He got cold feet about selling AFTER I bought x2 International one-way tickets to JFK. I was cordial, though he stopped communicating with me.

Dont buy the 6MT KBP in the Blackmarket.

justnspace 06-07-2019 04:57 AM

^very good warning. Thank you for that

juskimdh 06-07-2019 04:47 PM

Good luck on your search! Keep us posted!

-from one NYC AZine member to another

Cracked bumper, missing tow hitch cover, side skirts not quite lined up, almost 100% curb rash on all wheels, I'd really look for issues under the hood, exhaust tips are off and not sitting flush with the rear bumper garnish. And that is just from pics. I would steer clear. Probably got oil and trans fluid dripping

That and the suspension has been screwed with.

For an automatic Type-S? You may need to reconsider your price.

Labbats 06-09-2019 02:34 PM

You may be right but I don’t see many with that low of miles and looking almost brand new.

If I was looking to spend $10,000 on a used car I don’t see any more reliable than mine and with all the options. Not to mention fully kept up with documented maintenance and clear title.

Dhundup04 06-09-2019 02:40 PM

Thanks my guy but way over budget .

There were 1300 of the 6MT Type-S’ produced in 2008 by my calculations. Why sell a rare piece of Honda history?

There have been many sold within the last year in the same condition as yours, and with similar mileage as well. That said, if I recall correctly, $8,500 was about the max.

Labbats 06-09-2019 04:55 PM

I think you’re right. Planned on keeping this car for a while longer and haven’t paid much attention to current values. Then Tesla comes out with free autopilot on the Model 3 and tax rebate goes in half this July so I’m pulling the trigger on the Performance edition.

Got to say I have loved this Acura though. Still looks good after a decade and runs like new. Few cars today can say that.
