UPDATE- New car. New car for my sister?

[CALL_911]

I NEVER FUCKING SAID THEY WOULDN'T MAKE IT HOME FROM THE DEALER.  SHOW ME WHERE THE FUCK I SAID THAT.  OH WAIT, YOU CAN'T. 

Well, your point against a used TSX is pretty dumb.

[Submariner]

Yeah. We would be taking a closer look before we did anything, though.

This is getting frustrating. SHE WANTS AN AUTOMATIC! Damn.

Oh...missed that part.

You're the one who said that all used cars are improperly maintained.
Seriously, you don't know what you're talking about, so shut the fuck up.

[CJ]

I didn't want to sound like Trep and be a condescending prick by saying he has no experience (which is also true).

Experience with what?  Buying used cars?  We've bought three used cars.  The Volvo, Rodeo, and Integra.  The Volvo was in the shop every other week, the Rodeo had major cooling issues a few weeks after we bought it and always had cooling issues, even after we replaced the ENTIRE cooling system, and the Integra has just been a POS.

Dude. This TSX is almost new. This is a little different.

[CJ]

The Rodeo was just over a year old when we bought it.  The Volvo was two years old when we bought it.

Did you have a mechanic look at the cars before buying?

Wow, cool down.
You're implying that they will break down.

[CJ]

I am not.

What Volvo?

And a new car can have the same problems.

[Cookie Monster]

I am not.

Um, yes you are!

[CJ]

We had a 1990 740 GL wagon.

Wow, three.


All the Used cars I know people to have bought have been treated kindly. But guess what! New cars break down as well. Maybe we should stop buying cars altogether, they might have a minor issue.

If you have any questions about the TSX I'd be happy to answer them for you. I have an 2004. You can check out TSXClub.com as well, I'm a super-mod there.

Thanks.

First question:
How different is the powerplant on the post-facelift from the one on the pre-facelift? I know it has more torque.

[eThirteen]

Thanks.

The difference is pretty much negligible. The 04-05 had a tiny bit less HP/Tq, and the 06+ have a tiny bit more midrange torque.. however it doesn't make much of a difference, nothing your sister would need to be worried about.

These are the somewhat acurrate dyno numbers for an automatic. The 6spds have about 8 more hp/tq
04-05 - you are looking at 165whp , and 138wtq
06-08 - you are looking at 167whp , and 142wtq

Awesome. I like the post-facelift better, it looks great.

[eThirteen]

I like the post-facelift too, gives a clean look, well minus the rims. But the post-facelift model (06+) have alot more goodies in terms of technology, such as iPod interfacing, bluetooth, a MID, etc.

Yeah, I'm not in love with the rims either. I wasn't aware that the post-facelift has iPod interfacing. Wow, if this goes through, she is really going to love this car. I just want to experience the high-revving Honda engine. That sounds like fun.

I can't remember if it has full interfacing or not standard, but you can buy a special adapter (Blitzsafe, Dension, SHOND3, many brands carry it) that fully supports the iPod. You will be able to view the song info on the TSX's display, as well as control the ipod using your steering wheel controls. The AUX plug is behind the head unit < easy to access though

If and when we get the car, I'll ask for more details on the AUX plug.

Ask the dealership if the previous owner topped off the blinker fluid.

Hope you guys get the car Any more questions just ask.

If it doesn't get sold, it's ours. However, look at it. Of course it's going to get sold. It's just too far from us to make anything certain. If this was at our local Acura dealer, it might have even been in our garage right now. Actually, it would have been on its way to Philadelphia, as we speak.

We already have one, and we don't have any problems with it. I think my sister will take her chances.

CJ is trying very hard for you guys to get a 3.

[Raza]

I think the advantages of a new car over a used car is very obvious.

I also think the advantages of a used car over a used car is very obvious.

You're all idiots for arguing about it.

[eThirteen]

Great find, black on black. Alot of people go far distances to buy one with that combo

It's got the extended warranty as well.. win win win.
