I've been looking for a TSX lately (2006 - 2008), what do you guys think about these two ads? I don't think they are screaming deals, but pretty good? 2008 Acura TSX - 6sp Navigation System
- high km, but price reflects that
- not the best colour combo imho
- winter tires included...but rubber on summers is bad 2008 Acura TSX 6 Speed Manual Navi
- aspec kit
- low km
- best colour combo imho
- higher price

- higher price | I have a grey 2007 and it cleans up real nice if you prefer the premium look - I get lots of compliments about it (see: http://www.revscene.net/forums/69517...tches-out.html). White is great if you prefer the sportier look.
TSX resale values are kinda crazy IMO - I paid $21,500 for mine 5 1/2 years ago and could sell it for about $12-13K right now.
That said, the white one is the better deal (and a fair price) IMO though you should find out if the suspension is also A-SPEC or not. There's a member who's selling their 2007 which is a real A-SPEC - worth a look, rides an inch lower which makes it look a lot nicer.

It doesn't come with navigation/backup camera...which I guess isn't a deal breaker for me, but the cost is the same as the 08 with it (and rpm is firm).

330i = maintenance/repairs $$$ (maybe just for me?)
is350 = I don't see many is350 6mt for sale...and wasn't there an issue with their mt on the is250?
These are just my opinions, however. I was also considering the TL, but I only want the type s and they sell for quite high.

Every car has its pros and cons obviously. those were all the cars I considered when I was looking. Tsx definitely has the fuel economy and Honda reliability, but also 2 less cylinders. I also looked at jetta gli and audi a4, I think that rounds out the $12k> 10yo> sports sedan category

Good luck with the hunt, I wish there were so many manual TSXs up for sale back when I was shopping.

I get they're special cars, but it's insane what people want for them. 2011 1M with 70km or like an 08 Carerra S. I know what i'd pick...
